In order to enable India to become a trillion-dollar digital economy by
2025, it is imperative for the country to accelerate the pace of
digitalisation with focus on innovation and engineering across
semiconductor product design, including hardware and software, Union
Minister of State for IT and Skill Development Rajeev Chandrasekhar said
here on Friday.
After inaugurating Intel India's
state-of-the-art design and engineering centre here, he said that
Intel's critical contributions and relentless quest to advance
innovation in design and engineering in the country over the past two
and half decades highlights the design opportunity India offers to the
world.
"The inauguration of Intel's new state-of-the-art design
facility in Bengaluru is a testament of its commitment to contribute
towards bolstering India's technology leadership," the minister told the
audience.
The centre, spread in 4.53 lakh square feet space,
will advance Intel India's cutting-edge design engineering work in
client, data centre, internet of things (IoT), graphics, artificial
intelligence, and automotive segments.
"This state-of-the-art
centre offers an amazing environment for our employees to innovate while
they enjoy the energetic and collaborative vibes in the workplace. This
also helps in furthering our contributions and capabilities across
leadership products that enable customers' innovation and growth," Intel
India head and Intel Foundry Services Vice President Nivruti Rai said.
One floor at the centre is dedicated to high tech R&D labs for silicon design and validation purposes.
India
has the company's largest design and engineering centre outside the US,
with state-of-the-art design facilities in Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
Intel has invested over $8 billion in India to date and continues to expand its R&D and innovation footprint in the country.
