Apparently confirming earlier speculation, The Times of India reports that Apple will open a "massive tech support facility" in the city of Bangalore in southern India.
Reportedly, up to 1,500 people (later 3,000 people) may be employed to provide AppleCare, as well as a product development team of 100 to 200 engineers. The facility, initially 150,000 square feet and later expanding to 300,000 square feet, is to be operational by the end of this year.
Bangalore is sometimes referred to as "India's Silicon Valley" and many major U.S. corporations have facilities there.
