Intel on expansion spree in India

April 13, 2004 16:30 IST

Global microprocessor giant Intel is planning to expand its Bangalore development centre to work on more next generation products.

"We are on an expansion spree. The first building of our new campus with a capacity of 1,000 people is almost ready and will be operational in six months. Construction has started for the second building in the same campus," R K Amar Babu, director (sales and marketing), South Asia, Intel, told newspersons in New Delhi.

He did not give figures or timeframe for headcount expansion.

The centre, which is the largest non-manufacturing centre outside the United States for Intel, has currently 1,800 people working on central processing unit, chipset, software driver, communication silicon development and electronic business software development.

As the centre is working on core areas, Intel is keen on expanding it in view of the available talent, he said.

"All the future technologies are being done here. Next generation processors, server-related processors, chipsets for desktops and mobile computers, and communication silicon products are being done out of Bangalore from the R&D and product engineering side, while from the software side, factory automation software and e-business software for Intel are also being done in Bangalore," Kumar said.

India, he said is one of the fastest growing emerging market for Intel along with China, Russia, Mexico, Brazil.
