by Location, FY 2010 (in INR Lakhs)
1) R&D operating costs in India have continued to decline over the past 24 months, generating significant cost savings for headquarters. However, strengthening of the INR against the USD had a marginal negative impact on further cost declines.
2) The cost of operations decreases as company size increases due to cost optimization efforts and economies of scale, and increases with larger headcounts due to overhead costs.
3) Bangalore has the highest personnel costs in India and therefore the maximum overall cost of operations.

Inclusion And Diversity Maturity Benchmark – Creating An Inclusive Workplace ...Zinnov
What is the value of Inclusion and Diversity (I&D) for the C-suite, employees, and job seekers? This question is not always easy to answer, as there are several factors to consider, such as our personal experience, ecosystem awareness, and management approach, to name a few. Interestingly, COVID-19 has broadened the scope of I&D, from just being women-, LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer)-, and PwD (Persons with Disability)-friendly, to being considerate of other minority groups, including individuals dealing with bereavement, caregivers to family members, sole bread earners, etc.
There are several visible gaps observed when developing an enterprise-level I&D plan, most of which lack contextual and personal dimensions. Mastering such issues can be a challenge but can also be incredibly rewarding. It is about taking that crucial first step.
This latest Zinnov’s marquee report on ‘Creating an Inclusive Workplace’ touches upon these aspects and more, by delving deep into the factors that help organizations create workplaces that are not just inclusive, but diverse and empathetic as well. The report aims to help accelerate a mindset shift at an organizational level by empowering leaders to make informed decisions with I&D at the core of long-term business strategy.

6. Excessive cost control focus is restraining centers to move up the value chain faster 5
Unmet needs:
• The current state of maturity of R&D centers is low and only about 4% of the products R&D is in the
highest level of maturity (Product/ business ownership), indicating a significant scope for improvement
• Product concept and design related work is still in the nascent stage and in India and product
maintenance, QA/ testing & support continue to be the key focus areas (86% of total work) for
majority of the MNC R&D centers in India
• More than 80% of the total installed R&D talent pool in India is less than 8 years of experience and
witness lack of technical and product management talent in the current landscape
• Attrition is a again a key perceived challenge with attrition peaking up to reach 19.2% (YTD basis) after
witnessing a downfall during the economic downturn

7. The future outlook looks promising and with right strategies and long term view, companies 6
will be able to continue to optimize cost going forward
Future Outlook:
• Companies will focus on increasingly optimizing the people related costs while choosing the optimal
pyramid structures and controlled salary increments. Also increasing infrastructure utilization, and
optimizing of travel will ensure controlled inflation in costs
oHowever, with companies planning for a near 10% salary increment for FY 11, hiring laterals,
escalation in rents and opening up of travel, the costs are expected to go up in FY 2011
• The aspiration to move up the maturity value chain will force R&D centers to hire experienced talent
pool but will also look to optimize the experience pyramid to manage costs efficiently
• With increased availability of low cost talent and ever improving infrastructure in tier 2/3 locations,
companies will be running pilot efforts with non-core activities in these locations to start with
