Twitter Confirms First R&D Facility In India
Twitter is all set to open an R&D facility in India, the company confirmed today. This is not really a surprise, since it comes weeks after Twitter had acquired a local startup known as Zipdial. It means that Twitter-Zipdial office in Bangalore will be more than just a base for salespeople - it'll also develop new Twitter products too. Rishi Jaitly, Twitter's head of India, confirmed the research facility in an interview today.
"It does constitute a big vote of confidence from Twitter at the global level in India," Jaitly told. "It is a big investment in India and emerging markets, and an engineering center is a big outcome of the deal."
Zipdial pioneered a system whereby companies can set up a phone number that Indians can make a "missed call" to (dial, but then hang up in order to avoid paying for the call) in order to receive certain information via SMS or a free call-back. This form of marketing sort of overlaps with Twitter's business side.

Valerie Wagoner, the founder of ZipDial, also confirmed and stated "Twitter wants engineering teams based in emerging markets because we have empathy for users in these markets. This isn't a case of ideas from San Francisco, being built here; we are going to have full control over products."
