Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft Research plans to establish its first-ever lab in India, hoping to attract top research talent in a country known for producing high-quality computer scientists.
The facility is set to open in Bangalore in January. Microsoft expects the lab to consist of about two dozen scientists in the first year, working in areas ranging from geographical systems to multilingual software technology.
It will be the sixth Microsoft Research facility in all, the third outside the United States, and the first since the opening of the company's Silicon Valley research lab in August 2001.
