Sony Corporation announced yesterday the establishment of a research centre in India to tap into the country’s sizeable pool of talent, with plans for multiple sites. The first location will be opened in Bangaluru in 2020 as one of Sony’s global R&D centres. Sony has already been carrying out software development with local talent for over twenty years in the country. The Japanese tech giant says this move will augment its competitive edge in the Indian market and strengthen its research and development capabilities in India.
Sony says it is well-positioned to provide career opportunities for researchers possessing relevant information technology-related skills who are currently living in India or are willing to relocate to India.
Through the establishment of this new research centre in Bengaluru, Sony says it seeks to promote research activities and foster the growth of a diverse pool of engineering talent to expand and increase the diversity of its global R&D operations.
