Halma India recently opened its new Bengaluru regional office in Whitefield’s landmark corporate and residential township – Prestige Shantiniketan. The office is the new regional headquarters of Halma India and is a milestone in Halma’s journey in India and a reflection of the company’s vision for the country as a key market for its subsidiaries. Many Halma subsidiaries are already undertaking their firmware development, engineering design and global sourcing in India. Halma is a leading international safety, health and environmental group. Its wholly owned but independently run companies offer advanced technology in specialised areas. These companies make products for life protection, hazard detection, environment protection and personal and public health improvement.
Mr. Prasenjit Datta, Managing Director, Halma India said, “India has been identified as a strategic region for growth within emerging markets for Halma’s subsidiaries and is on top priority from a business perspective in the Asia-Pacific region. With investments in talent, marketing, service support and infrastructure, we aim to take strategic advantage of our expertise and resources for the benefit of Halma companies across the globe, along with increased investment in the Indian market”.
The space is designed to boost employee productivity, with LED lighting aided by natural light, providing a cozy ambience. Surrounded by the expanse of the Prestige Shantiniketan complex, the 7th floor office covers an area of over 15,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 75 employees. There are breakout areas, writing walls for discussions by the engineering teams and a boardroom which also doubles-up as a training room.
