AOL to open Indian office
AOL says its decision to open an engineering office in Bangalore, Indian, has nothing to do the recent announcment that it” be laying off 450 employees at its Netscape Communications unit in California, as well as other West Coast offices.
"AOL’s plans slipped out on its website in a 10 Dec job posting seeking a global program manager to "coordinate software development teams" in the US, Dublin and Bangalore," says a silicom.com story here.
However, India isn’t new for AOL, the story says, pointing out that it already has a call centre in Bangalore and, "has relied on software engineers in India previously through an alliance with Sun Microsystems. Still, this would mark the first time AOL turned to India to help build its flagship internet software".
