The centre here is playing an increasingly critical role in the development of global products which have the opportunity to have a big impact on technological innovations around the world," he mentioned.
The company is initiating several programs to train engineers. They are encouraged to participate in 'Plug Fests', tech symposiums that are held in various parts of the world where companies check on interoperability of products and applications, using Tektronix testing measurement tools. This Indian center has also collaboration with many engineering colleges to mentor students.
