"The investment demonstrates the company's long term commitments and builds on the foundation we created during the last 10 years," Barrett said.

"We will grow our local operations, boost venture capital investment and work closely with the government, industry and educators to increase the impact of the country's Information and Communication Technology," he added.

Alongwith Intel's investment over $700 million in India over the past 10 years, Intel capital has provided funding to more than 40 companies in India since it started investing 1998.
