HID powers the trusted identities of the world's people, places and things. We make it possible for people to transact safely, work productively, learn confidently and travel freely.
HID Global, India R&D Center started with a small office in 2015 with 7000 square feet of space in Chennai. The intent of starting the center was to enable the company to deliver innovative product development for customers, and provide an excellent platform for scaling our operations in delivering secure access solutions.
Our initial focus started with physical and logical access, goID and related cloud-based solutions. We then extended our capability to web and mobile applications development. The Chennai R&D Center contributes to overall “go to market” strategy for several product lines for HID Global, specializing in product lines that run across cloud and mobile. The Chennai R&D Center is seen as the subject matter expert and talent pool on the latest cloud technologies, logical and physical access systems, data engineering including AI/ML, cryptographic key management systems, and other mobile-based smart card delivery systems. Using Agile processes, India participates in several innovative initiatives for the company and paves the way to the leading best-in-industry solutions that are used in more than 80 countries throughout the world. We are also playing a key role in global IT initiatives across the group.
From day one, we have constantly grown, and today our current set-up has 25000 square feet of office space in Chennai. We have close to 160 employees and expect to grow close to 200 employees (this includes both R&D and IT) by end of this year. We work on exciting challenges and problems in delivering mobile identities to the world using the latest cloud and IoT technologies.
