Microsoft today announced the launch of its new India Development Center (IDC) facility at the National Capital Region.
The facility will serve as a premier hub for driving cutting-edge engineering and innovation, Microsoft said. IDC NCR is Microsoft’s third Development Center in India after Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
