| The company has a turnover of $10 million and plans to grow by 50 per cent this year. |
| Programming Research will outsource 60 per cent of its work to the new development centre based in Bangalore and will cater to the worldwide market. It is the company's first development in Asia. |
| The company's software checks for coding errors in computer programmes at an early stage. |
| "Usually the coding is done first, and only after the complete development a programme is tested for errors but we have programmes that will check for errors in the coding of a programme at the coding stage itself," says L Narayanan, business development manager, Programming Research. |
| This will help minimise errors in coding at an early stage and will also save time. |
| Programme Research's software is widely used by automobile companies like Toyota and Bosch and is also a provider for the defence sector to companies like RCI, DRDL and Defence Avionics Research Centre (DARE). The embedded software industry is also a big market for the company. |
| "We have come to Bangalore not because there is cheap labour but because major companies like Toyota, Bosch and others are here and the service providers like Infosys and other softwares companies are also based in Bangalore. So our presence as source code providers are inevitable," said Paul Blundell, chief executive officer, Programming Research. |
| The presence of large defence companies like HAL is also one reasons. |
| The automobile industry worldwide follow the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association(MISRA) guidelines for the use of the C language in critical systems used in automobile manufacturing. |
| "We were the key formulators of this," added L Narayanan. |
