Chinese networking solutions firm Huawei Telecommunications (India) has said it will hire 1,000 employees for establishment of a new R&D campus in Bangalore and sew a number of business partnerships in the country over next five years.
The company claimed in a press statement on Tuesday it will invest over $2 billion in a comprehensive five-year plan that involves ramping up its R&D employee strength from the current 2000 to 3000.
The plan will focus on the development, augmentation and cooperation in the areas of local R&D, local manufacturing, technology cooperation with Indian IT service companies, local sourcing, local employment, talent development, and supporting rural education and IT literacy in India.
Huawei currently has operations in 19 major regions and employs over 6000 technical and professional staff across the country. On the R&D front, Huawei has the biggest R&D center outside China in Bangalore since 1999 that employs 2,000 engineers at present. The new R&D campus will increase the current capacity to about 3000 R&D engineers.
Meanwhile, Huawei has also started its first-phase local manufacturing in Chennai and is further exploring other forms of cooperation in local manufacturing. According to the plan, the local R&D and manufacturing are being developed with export capacities along with supporting India's local industry development.
According to Huawei India CEO, "Huawei has been in India for over a decade and is committed to a long-term development and cooperation in India. As an integral part of Indian telecom industry development and an active player serving all telecom service providers, Huawei India strives to be the long-term partner for the development of India's telecom and IT industry and inclusive growth."
