Bangalore: Abundance of IT talents

Zoom Video Communications has opened a new technology centre in Bangalore, expanding its presence in India with offices and data centres in Mumbai and Hyderabad.

As with other parts of the world, Zoom has seen phenomenal increase in usage, up 6700 percent in free user sign ups in India from just January to April 2020.

The new Bangalore setup will supplement the videoconferencing solution provider’s existing R&D centres and support its engineering leadership based at its San Jose, California.

Renowned as a technology hub and abundance of engineering and IT talent, Bangalore is where Zoom will recruit DevOps engineers, IT, security, and business operations personnel.

“India is a strategically important country for Zoom and we expect to see continued growth and investment here. We are proud to provide our services for free to over 2,300 educational institutions in India during the COVID-19 pandemic and look forward to continuing to work with the people and government of India hand-in-hand,” said Eric S. Yuan, CEO of Zoom.

“We plan to hire key employees for the technology centre over the next few years, pulling from India’s highly-educated engineering talent pool. This facility will play a critical role in Zoom’s continued growth,” he added.
