We reported yesterday that Google is looking forward to carry out major research work in India. So how can Yahoo! sit silent. According to Business Standard, Yahoo! is setting up a research lab in Bangalore, the leading IT hub of India.

Confirming this, Prabhakar Raghavan, head of Yahoo! Research notes, "The researchers currently we have are extremely talented and work on state-of-the-art technologies. The scientists we are looking to hire are the ones who define start-of-the-art next generation technologies."

Yahoo!, with strong base in India and a R&D center in Bangalore, started the preliminary works for the establishment of hie-tech lab in the city. The company is now looking for talented researchers. It would be Yahoo!'s seventh international lab.
