An Irvine, California-based vehicle intelligence company announced Sept. 8 the launch of its entity, Spireon Telematics India Pvt. Ltd in India's "Silicon Valley."
Kevin Weiss, CEO of Spireon, said in a press release that its new operations will bring talent from around the world to tap into world-class engineering resources.
"Launching our operations in India represents a significant milestone for Spireon and reflects our commitment to leverage the highest caliber of engineering talent—both in the U.S. and abroad—with telematics and cloud expertise," Weiss said. "With Pranab at the helm, this dedicated engineering hub is a critical part of our global success strategy to continue driving innovation and operational excellence. We're excited to establish this technology center as part of Spireon's growing connected vehicle ecosystem and contribute to the company's leadership in IoT."
The expansion into India allows the company to tap into the world’s fastest growing technology hub of Bengaluru with a new location consisting of 40 engineers overseen by Pranab Das.
"The global connected vehicle market is expected to grow by over 20% in the next few years and I'm thrilled to be joining Spireon at this pivotal time," said Das.
