LG to make Bangalore software unit global mobile hub
BOMBAY (Reuters) - LG Electronics plans to make its Indian software centre the global hub for producing software for its mobile phones that will be sold worldwide, officials of the Korean consumer goods giant said on Friday.
LG will also increase the staff at the centre in India's technology capital of Bangalore to 1,000 people within three years from 300 now, they told a news conference.
"Whether a company makes it to the top tier of the mobile phone sector will really depend on its software capability," said Mun-Hwa Park, chief executive and president of LG Electronics' telecommunication equipment and handset company.
"That's why we want our India software unit to focus 100 percent on mobile phones."
Until now, employees of LG Software India were writing software for a variety of LG Electronics' products.
