BANGALORE, INDIA: ARM today announced the opening of design center here.
The new center would house expanded operations that will lead to its becoming the second largest design center for the company outside its Cambridge, UK headquarters.
ARM India is expected to grow its staff from the current 350 people, with the expanded team of engineers focusing on next-generation ARM technology for advanced digital products.
“Since ARM began operations in India in 2004, the India design center has become increasingly important in harnessing skilled technical talent to develop leading technology solutions for the digital world. Going forward, India offers ARM tremendous opportunities to grow and expand its scope of product development activities,” said chief operating officer Tudor Brown.
ARM’s Indian operations are aimed at creating high-value semiconductor intellectual property (IP) products and solutions that address these markets, as well as offering services for companies developing products based on the ARM architecture.
“The ARM India design center is the fastest growing within ARM worldwide and is truly a microcosm of the ARM global family, since key technical functions including physical IP design, processor design, testing and embedded software design are performed here,” said Anil Gupta, managing director, India Operations, ARM.
“Its role in contributing to global product development and adding highly skilled technical value will grow as India becomes an increasingly important semiconductor market,” he added.
