ST was one of the first microelectronics companies to recognise India's potential and, by 1990, had begun its design operations in the country. With a rich pool of talent and a well-focused strategy, ST's advanced R&D centre at Greater Noida is the company's largest outside Europe and significantly contributes to almost all application segments of ST globally.

The range of R&D activities carried out by ST in India reflects the multifunctional nature of its technologies and the ability of India's engineers to create industry-leading solutions. ST's design teams in India specialise in VLSI design, embedded software development, application engineering, and company Information Systems.
