Intel Corporation starts the next phase of Indian outsourcing expansion.

The world's largest chip maker Intel Corporation has rolled out the second phase of its India Development Centre and said the first product designed exclusively for the domestic market would be launched by the year end.

"Yesterday, we inaugurated the second phase of Intel's India campus," Patrick P Gelsinger, Senior Vice President at Intel said in his keynote address at the Intel Development Forum here on Thursday.

The second phase of the Intel campus in Bangalore has been set up with an investment of US $43 million. The company had invested the same amount in the first phase of the campus.

At present, headcount at Intel's India Development Centre stands at 2,700 and is expected to touch 3,000 by the end of this year.

Apart from working on cutting edge products for the world market, Intel's research and development centre has a team working on technology platforms suitable for India.

"We had set up a Platform Definition Centre at our India development centre six months back. The centre draws up people from various divisions of Intel, who work on designing customised technology platforms for the Indian market," Director South Asia (Sales and Marketing Group) Amar Babu said.

At present, the company is running pilots on community personal computers in 10-12 villages. These PCs can run on a battery and can work in a high temperature and dust environment.

"We will launch the technology platform suited for Indian conditions by the end of this year," Babu said.
