Zoom to open a new technology centre in Bengaluru.

American video calling application Zoom is set to open a new office in Bengaluru and expand its team in India. The Nasdaq-listed company, over a virtual press conference today said that it will invest actively in the country and work closely with the government to assuage all fears around security and privacy concerns around the platform.

Given the fact that Zoom has seen a 67 times jump in its free user base in the country, the company which was founded by Eric Yuan, is doubling up its capacities here and if needed might also look to buy up more server space in the country. Currently Zoom has two data centres in India in Mumbai and Hyderabad.

“We are setting up a technology centre in Bengaluru mainly to scale up our engineering teams, we will hire actively in development operations, network engineering, information technology teams and business operations as well,” said Velchamy Sankarlingam, president of product and engineering at Zoom.
