The company originally announced its plans to invest around $42 million to expand its Hyderabad base in September 2018, working with the state’s Telangana Academy for Skills and Knowledge to recruit young engineers. It first expanded its footprint in India in Bengaluru in April 2019 and now with its combined presence in both Bengaluru and in Hyderabad, it said India will complement the company’s global centers of excellence around the world, providing design and product engineering functions for next-generation memory and high-value storage solutions. Located in the heart of Hyderabad’s technology corridor and spanning 350,000 square feet, Micron said its new center includes six purpose-built design and verification labs.
