"We will increase the number of software engineers from 1,000 at present to 2,000, beginning this year," said company spokeswoman Laurie Doyle Kelly said Tuesday. "These engineers will come from India, where we want to grow our base of engineers organically. We have no plans to transfer any from Germany."

SAP Labs India. in Bangalore, India, is the largest software development center that the SAP AG operates outside its home base in Walldorf, Germany, according to Doyle Kelly.

In the same city, SAP operates a sales and support subsidiary, SAP India, which has around 400 customers, 160 of them small and medium-size enterprises, she said.
