Samsung has made a big move in way of its R&D centre. The smartphone and consumer electronics brand has announced that Samsung R&D Institute, Noida (SRI-N), and Samsung Design Delhi (SDD) have moved to a new state-of-the-art office that is housed in an IGBC LEED Platinum-rated campus spread over 377,118sqft across 10 floors in the Candor TechSpace building on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway.
The company is known for cutting-edge R&D and innovations coming out of its centres and these are closely followed by rival brands around the world. The same level of innovation is seen in the design of its new centre. SRI-N and SDD’s new office is built on the egalitarian linear workstations concept and every floor has a social hub at the entrance to enhance interaction, communication and open collaboration among employees.

Workstations have been designed in a way that a majority of them have access to natural sun light and amenities such as a social hub, recreation and meeting rooms. The space also includes height adjustable workstations for better ergonomics, which can also be used as standing desks. The workspace follows the hot desking concept, allowing people to choose where they want to sit.
The design of the building is inspired by the India Gate and the SRI-N and SDD office is built to deliver breakthrough innovations. “The new office space is an effort to create a safe and inclusive workplace that empowers every individual to innovate and create,” said KY Roo, managing director, Samsung R&D Institute, Noida.
SRI-Noida was established in 2007 with the primary focus of mobile software development and testing. It is actively involved in developing localized and advanced solutions to suit market needs for South West Asia and also develop models for Middle East Asia, North America (USA and Canada), Europe & CIS regions.
