ARM unveils big plans

Bangalore: The U.K.-based microprocessor technology player, ARM, whose licensed cores fuel nine of 10 mobile phones used worldwide, has helped consolidate its India-based development operations. Last week, Britain’s Prince Andrew, Duke of York, inaugurated the company’s new Bangalore design facility, which boasts “head room” to double the present strength of 350 staff, almost all of them software and chip design engineers.

Already, its largest R&D base outside the U.K., the Bangalore operation will soon see the India end increasingly owning the physical intellectual property that goes into ARM offerings, said Chief Operating Officer Tudor Brown.

Anil Gupta, Managing Director of ARM’s India operations, said if the engineers who worked with the company’s Indian design partners such as HCL, Sasken, TCS, Wipro and others were factored in, over 7,000 ARM engineers were based in this country, 2,000 in Bangalore alone.
