As part of its expansion, the Indian subsidiary will be consolidating its multiple offices into a much larger facility in the IBC Technology Park on Bannerghatta Road in Bangalore.

SiRF India has invested more than US$1 million in its new facility that is capable of seating 200 employees.

"SiRF is expanding very aggressively in India. We have grown from having no development center in Bangalore to nearly 100 employees in less than a year's time", said Ashutosh Pande, managing director of SiRF India.

"We plan to significantly expand our headcount in India in 2007 between our development centers in Noida and Bangalore. The new facility in Bangalore will help us support our aggressive expansion plan in India."
