A few days ago, security solutions provider FireEye launched a new research and development center in Bangalore, India.

Sridhar Jayanthi has been appointed as the VP and managing director of the center, while Ramsunder Papineni has been named the regional sales director for India and South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) nations.

By the end of the year, the center, which focuses on the development and the testing of new FireEye products, will employ around 50 specialists.

“The Bangalore office is an important milestone for FireEye’s global expansion. We expect the new Bangalore office to play a key role in maintaining cutting‐edge technology and innovation in the FireEye line of security products,” said Ashar Aziz, founder and CTO at FireEye.

“We welcome Sridhar to the FireEye executive team. His extensive experience in building sophisticated product development teams in the U.S. and India is an important addition.”
