Introduction

HFI Asia Team

HFI India started up in January 2000 in Mumbai. The objective was to provide the highest quality usability engineering services from this part of the world. HFI India has grown from staff strength of 5 usability engineers in 2000 to a 110 strong operation at this point in time.

HFI India has also started operations in Singapore and China, and has a growing portfolio of work in HongKong and Australia. HFI India obtained ISO certification in early 2004, thus becoming the only certified usability consulting operation in the world.
