Chinese telecom equipment maker, Huawei, inaugurated the company’s largest global service centre (GSC) in India on Friday.

Jay Chen, CEO, Huawei India, said, “India has always been a priority market for us and we have been investing here right from 1999 when we opened our R&D center in Bengaluru – the first one outside China. The inauguration of this center, our largest GSC (global service center), further reaffirms our commitment to India.”

He further said that the GSC in India will manage more than 50 projects and provide support for over 30 nations in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The centre will serve more than 350 million subscribers.

Huawei India has employed more than 1,000 engineers, network operations specialists and supporting staff for the facility.

The company’s other three GSCs are situated in China, Mexico and Romania. 

The India centre is co-located with company’s Research and Development (R&D) Centre in Bengaluru. 

“The new centre supports the government of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative by harnessing the domestic talent, together with incorporating hi-tech R&D knowledge and expertise into the country, would play a vital role in building a collaborative framework which will support our customers to reach the next stage of business performance,” Chen said.

“In terms of number of projects it will handle, this is the largest GSC with round the clock operations," he added.
