Leveraging rich, diverse, local talent, customer partnerships, and relationships with universities and research institutions, Motorola has established a strong research and development presence in India that ensures the company is close to key regional markets and customers.  Motorola now has nearly 3,500 R&D engineers in Bangalore and Hyderabad, innovating and designing mobile phones and software for an Indian market with a mobile subscriber base growing at a rate of 7 million per month.  In fact, nearly 40% of software and technology used in all Motorola phones worldwide – including the MOTORAZR – is designed in India; thereby making its Indian research centers an important source of global innovation that continues to broaden its spectrum of research as varied as Nano materials and social networking applications on mobile devices.

Deemed a “Rising Star” by Fortune Magazine, Padmasree Warrior, Motorola’s executive vice president and chief technology officer, is responsible for the company’s $4.1 billion research and development investment.
