Hexagon, an IT solutions provider, will open its second research and development centre in Hyderabad shortly.
Hexaxon Capability Center India (HCCI), which has about 1,100 employees at its R&D centre in Hyderabad, has got a nod to set up the second centre.
“We will hire 350 employees for the centre in the coming months,” Navaneet Mishra, Vice-President and Country Manager of Hexagon, has said here.
He, however, refused to indicate the investment plan for the facility. “It would be a high double-digit million number,” he said.
Nearly one-third of Hexagon’s 3,400 R&D employees in the world work out of Hyderabad.
“The second facility should be ready in the first quarter of 2018. Besides mobility, cloud and machine learning would be our highest focus areas,” he said.
The firm offers products and services in areas such as agriculture, geospatial, geosystems, manufacturing intelligence and mining.
With a view to equipping engineering students with industry-ready skills, Hexagon will start an Advanced Analysis Lab at the CBIT engineering college here on October 12. This will be open for final year B.Tech and M.Tech students in the civil and mechanical engineering streams. Students and faculty would undergo training programme on Hexagon PPM-CAS products, making them industry-ready.
It would also launch a Global Navigation Satellite Systems Lab at the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University here the same day.
