Mahindra Satyam has opened a dedicated Technology Centre for research and development for Saab, the Swedish firm that sells products, services and solutions to military Defence to civil security, here on Friday.

The centre would help Saab customise its products to suit Indian needs, while helping it to support its global operations.

The Saab India Technology Centre (SITC) would also help the firm expand its business in India, including the opportunities in the services. “The aim of the centre is to support the internal operational excellence and optimisation initiatives within Saab, while supporting Saab to expand in the Indian market. It will start off with 100 engineers,” Mr C.P. Gurnani, the Chief Executive Officer of Mahindra Satyam, said.

Addressing a press conference here after inaugurating the facility, Mr Gurnani said the centre would conduct research and development in aerospace, Defence and urban innovation, including civil security.

“The primary areas of development will include software engineering, electronic engineering and mechanical engineering. It would later focus on development in the areas of signal processing and systems engineering,” Mr Hakan Buskhe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Saab, said.

Mr Hakan said the centre would have 300 engineers by next year.
