Intel is among a long list of firms that have set up huge outsourcing operations in India, which have become the driving force of a $17.2 billion software services industry.
It has already invested $700 million in Asia's third-largest economy over the past decade and provided venture funding worth more than $100 million to 40 firms such as computer trainer NIIT Ltd. and telecoms software firm Sasken Communication Technologies Ltd.
"We will grow our local operations, boost venture capital investments and work closely with the government, industry and educators," Chairman Craig Barrett told reporters.
Barrett, on his seventh visit to India, said $800 million would be invested over the next five years to expand research and development at Bangalore in addition to marketing, education and community programs.
