Google to set up R&D centre in Bangalore

WASHINGTON Dec. 12. Google, the popular Internet search engine, has chosen Bangalore for its first engineering research and development centre outside the U.S. to be set up next year. "We just want more really great engineers," Google vice president of engineering, Wayne Rosing, told the Wall Street Journal.

"It is clear there are a significant number of really talented computer scientists in India." He said Google hoped to hire about 100 engineers for its Bangalore centre, which would be the first of its type outside the U.S. for the company based in California.

Google has been looking to expand the pool from which it selects employees with computer science and engineering backgrounds, he said. The company realised that it would be restricted in that goal if it required those employees to work in the U.S., because many people cannot obtain work visas, he added.
