In addition to GM R&D's major research facility in
Warren, Michigan, USA, the company recently established
a Science Laboratory in Bangalore, India. The India Science
Laboratory will focus on projects that complement the research
programs ongoing in Warren and will also undertake new exploratory
projects of high value to GM. Initially about 60 people
will be employed at the new laboratory.
India Science Laboratory, Bangalore, India
Why establish an India Science Laboratory? GM recognizes
the world-class scientific talent available in India. Indian
scientists have achieved significant success in a number
of fields, including nuclear energy, space exploration,
computational sciences and information technology, electronic
design and control automation, aircraft and space vehicles,
and materials and chemical sciences. These accomplishments
demonstrate scientific and technical expertise that have
direct bearing on the four thrust areas that the India Science
Laboratory will target:
Math-based tools for product
design
Manufacturing technologies
Automotive electronics and control systems
Automotive materials and chemical systems
