American chipmaking giant AMD is expanding its presence in India, not only as a market but also as a critical development hub for its global operations.
The company’s design centre in Bengaluru has become a key contributor to its product development, and its ongoing investments in the country signal a long-term commitment to growing both its business and talent pool.
AMD CEO Lisa Su, in an address to the media, highlighted the company’s strategic plans for India, revealing that its $400 million investment commitment over five years, announced last year, is likely to be surpassed ahead of schedule due to the rapid pace of innovation and investment.
Lisa Su stated, “India is such an important part of AMD, when we look across all of our global portfolio, every aspect of our product line goes through our design centre in the country.”
She further emphasized that India has the right mix of both hardware and software expertise, and the company has significantly increased its workforce in the country, doubling its staff over the past two years.
Su also shared that AMD is building two supercomputers in India, further underscoring the country’s importance as a hub for both business development and talent cultivation.
The announcement coincided with the inauguration of the second phase of AMD’s Technostar campus in Bengaluru, a key milestone in the company’s broader plans to contribute to India’s semiconductor ecosystem.
The investment aligns with India’s aspirations to become a global player in semiconductor manufacturing and artificial intelligence technology.
Su commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for the semiconductor industry, which includes the ‘Make in India’ initiative and a focus on advancing AI technologies.
She also expressed optimism that India’s policies would attract more global companies, paving the way for a robust semiconductor and tech ecosystem in the country.
AMD’s growing operations in India represent a pivotal part of the company’s long-term strategy, with the country poised to play a central role in the future of global semiconductor development.
