EMC Corporation has inaugurated a second RnD centre in Pune India. In
addition to the current EMC Centre of Excellence (COE) in Bangalore,
the new centre in Pune expands and strengthens EMC’s presence and innovation
engine within India, including plans to increase its workforce.
The additional EMC COE
in Pune will help EMC to further advance its mission to help customers
transform their business by creating their digital future and modernize,
automate and transform IT through cloud computing. The news comes at a time
when India is accelerating its journey toward digital transformation with the
government’s sterling initiatives like ‘Digital India’ and ‘Smart Cities.’
"India continues to
be a key source for technology innovation, outstanding engineering talent and
significant business potential,” said Howard Elias, President and Chief Operating Officer, Global Enterprise
Services at EMC Corporation. “India is important tour strategic global growth plans. The EMC
COE in Pune will play an important role in helping EMC deliver comprehensive,
next-generation technology solutions for our customers.”
EMC’s first COE in Bangalore opened in 2003 to
advance the company’s globalization goals, accelerate R and D efforts and
expand services by leveraging India’s vast pool of highly skilled engineering
talent. As EMC’s largest RnD centre outside of North America, the EMC COE in
Bangalore hosts product, services and support groups across EMC’s offerings.
The Pune centre will supplement the EMC COE in Bangalore with added capabilities
to undertake additional R and D and Services work for cloud and storage
technologies.
Congratulating EMC on inauguration on its second
RnD center in Pune, R Chandrashekhar, President, NASSCOM, said,"India
offers tremendous opportunities to technology companies both in terms of
business potential, as well as quality talent. Indian talent is fast becoming
synonymous with new technology expertise and high-end engineering. EMC's
decision to open a second world-class RnD centre in India is testimony to
this.”
"This is a
significant step towards accelerating our innovation efforts. Pune is fast
emerging as the next technology innovation hub in India and will complement the
pioneering work done by our EMC COE in Bangalore. We are confident that the new
campus in Pune will help attract quality talent to help us deliver increased
value to customers and partners." said Sarv Saravanan, Senior Vice
President and General Manager, EMC Centres of Excellence, Asia Pacific Japan.
