California-based Juniper Networks is planning a major expansion to its research and development center in Bangalore, India. The company will add 750 seats and 450 equipment racks at a new site (Prestige Exora Business Park) in Bangalore over the next two years. The company currently has 1,800 staff members and 300 employees of development partners located in Bangalore.
Its operations in India are responsible for a full spectrum of activities including hardware and software development, test engineering, field trials, program management, quality assurance, technical documentation and product line management. It also provides 12-hour-a-day global customer support covering all Juniper products and operates a Finance Shared Services Center, which delivers functions to Juniper Finance organizations across the world.
“This expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to increasing the depth of experience and expertise in the India region, which is becoming increasingly important not just as a source of engineering talent but also as a fast-growing market for Juniper Networks,” said Sridhar Sarathy, managing director of IEC at Juniper Networks.
