The laboratory, which would spearhead HCL’s global research and development efforts towards enterprise mobile solutions, was inaugurated by HCL Vice-Chairman and CEO, Vineet Nayar, a company statement said.
"The 35,000 sq ft Jurong facility is designed to exploit the advantages of being in Singapore -- Asia’s business hub to build and nurture a robust mobile ecosystem", it said.
HCL, which already has more than 1,000 engineers based out of the facility, would work closely with the government of Singapore to ensure the lab is a milestone in the Infocomm authority’s vision of building a vibrant infocomm ecosystem there, the company said. “To excel in the mobile application world requires leadership in product engineering, laser focus on consumer experience and an entrepreneurial ecosystem of clients, partners and developers that sustains the innovation momentum. Our Mobility Lab in Singapore will be the nerve center for further augmenting HCL’s capabilities in all these areas”, said Virender Aggarwal, President and Head of Rest of World region for HCL.
The laboratory was inaugurated in the presence of T C A Raghavan, High Commissioner of India to Singapore and Jayson Goh, Director of Infocomms and Media, of Singapore’s Economic Development Board.
