Harman India Development Center will operate from Wipro Technologies' existing research and development (R&D) facilities in Bangalore and Chennai, the companies said in a statement.

The center complements "an earlier agreement which outsourced Harman's global IT infrastructure services to Wipro," the statement said.

The center will initially house 250 employees and gradually increase to 1000 by 2011. The endeavor will significantly strengthen Harman's "global engineering capabilities," it said.

According to the terms of the agreement, Wipro will provide R&D services and develop audio and infotainment solutions across the automotive, consumer, and professional markets.

"Services delivered from the center will include both software development and related hardware engineering for Harman's portfolio. Harman will retain ownership of all intellectual property developed in the center," the statement said.
