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.
