Out of these, recently 8 centres were inaugurated in Kumaraswamy, Jayanagar, Basavangudi, Malleswaram, Chandra Layout, Mahalaxmi Layout, Kaggadasapura and Sanjay Nagar. Two new Labs at White Field and Electronic City, will be launched in next few days. The next round will see the launch of another 16 centres by the end of third quarter of FY16.
