"We have moved our entire product development workforce to India in 2015. We started with 6 people and now we have 50 people. In 12-18 months, we will triple this workforce as growth for us will not only come from telecom operators, but other solutions as well. We expect to deploy our 20 IoT platforms in
India by the end of this year," Doetsch said.
Besides, the company plans to increase its operations and marketing team that will cater to businesses in India and South Asia.
