Asustek Computer Inc (華碩) said it is considering establishing a research and development (R&D) center in India to deepen its collaboration with Indian engineers.

“India has a strong and developed software industry with a high number of software talents. The nation’s economy has potential and the market there is growing,” Asustek spokesman Nick Wu (吳長榮) said by telephone yesterday.

Asustek said it has hired dozens of Indian software engineers to work at its headquarters in Guandu (關渡), in Taipei’s Beitou District (北投), undertaking numerous software development projects based on India’s smartphone user experience.

The plan to establish an R&D center in India is still in an early stage and has yet to be finalized by the management, Wu said, adding that it is one of Asustek’s potential overseas investments.     [FULL  STORY]
