Intel's India development center in Bangalore is the company's largest

non-manufacturing lab outside the US. Started by Avtar Saini with 10 people, it

is now headed by Manni Kantipudi and has over 700 developers. Growth has come

through Intel's hiring, and partly as a side-affect of global acquisitions of

companies with a presence in India. These include Thinkit, Trillium, Vxtel and

Netsol. The center's key tech areas are ASIC design, switches and routers, and

Intel's 100% e-Corporation project. In October, one division came out with the

100% indigenous media switch 2424–the first complete product design out of

Intel India.
