China’s telecom equipment behemoth Huawei Thursday unveiled its research and development (R&D) centre here – the company’s largest facility outside China.
The $46 billion Huawei, the first Chinese technology enterprise to set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in India 15 years ago, built the facility at a cost of $170 million (Rs.1,050 crore) over 20 acres in the city’s IT corridor to house about 5,000 engineers.
“We are committed to the ‘Made in India’ campaign, as we are the first Chinese firm to set up our software product development centre here in 1999,” Huawei India R&D centre chief operating officer Wilson Wang told reporters on the occasion.
The centre will focus on developing future technologies and generating patents, contributing to industry standardization, collaborate with peers and academia and support the digital transformation of society.
