Xilinx Inaugurates Expanded Site in Hyderabad for R&D, Technical Support
Xilinx India team pivotal to development, delivery & support of company's
flagship programmable platforms
HYDERABAD, India, Mar. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (XLNX)
today underscored its commitment to the emerging, high-growth market and its
growing employee base in India with the inauguration of a new, expanded Xilinx
India site in Hi-Tech city. The 131,000 square-foot office building is more than
double the size of the previous site to accommodate engineering labs and
collaboration space for end-to-end product development, a larger,
energy-efficient data center, and expanded facilities for customer and employee
events.
Hosted by Xilinx President and CEO, Moshe Gavrielov, Senior Vice President of
Programmable Platforms Development, Victor Peng, and Xilinx India Site Director
and CTO, Vamsi Boppana, the inaugural event began with a traditional lamplighting
ceremony to mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Xilinx India.
The Xilinx India site, which represents the largest R&D centre outside of the
company's U.S. headquarters, is a critical contributor to Xilinx's success as the
world's leading provider of 'all programmable' technologies and devices. This
includes its newest, industry leading portfolio of 28nm 7 series and
Zynq(TM)-7000 Extensible Processing Platform (EPP) families, which enable
breakthroughs in price/performance/watt and programmable systems integration.
Currently, more than 400 employees in Hyderabad report into Xilinx's Programmable
Platforms Development (PPD) and Worldwide Technical Support groups, which are
global organizations responsible for development and delivery of the company's
flagship programmable platforms and support of local, regional and multi-national
customers in India. The expansion and increasing role of the Xilinx India
engineering team is well aligned to the National Policy on Electronics goals to
transform India into a global R&D hub.
"We're proud to commemorate the opening of our new Hyderabad site today and to
celebrate the incredible contributions of our employees in India," said Gavrielov
at today's inauguration ceremonies. "The Xilinx India engineering team will
continue to play a pivotal role in our success as part of Xilinx's world-class
PPD engineering organization. Notably, more than half the Zynq engineering team
is based in India, with some aspects entirely designed and verified in India. The
India team has sole ownership and development responsibility for significant
aspects of our next-generationtool suite accelerating programmable design
productivity."
