The centre will allow Pitney Bowes to expand capacity for local and global business demands.

Located in two of India's most prominent IT hubs, Noida and Pune, the newly inaugurated facility reflects its increased investments and focus in the country. Within five years of setup, the R&D facility in Noida has swelled in with more than 600 employees working across business units.

It boasts of 12% of software product development headcount in India and is an education and research hub, and this is one of the main reasons why we chose to set up our second R&D centre here. With the opening of the Pune centre, we hope to incubate, sustain, and support local talent and maintain high quality of contributions and value to Pitney Bowes globally,” said Manish Choudhary, managing director, Pitney Bowes Software India.
