It is also planning to make India the hub of all its product development activities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>NVIDIA recently launched its Tegra processor which was developed mostly in India and they expect a quick penetration into the market there with the advent of 3G.\u00a0 In fact, they expect the Tegra processor to account for nearly fifty percent of NVIDIA\u2019s global revenue within a few years. As the Tegra chip is so efficient, it has big potential to reach remote areas that have limited electricity and resources.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIndia is a key market for us and especially for the new product Tegra, especially when 3G is launched. Telecom companies can improve their revenues by driving higher amounts of rich multimedia content through their networks when 3G is launched. We are in talks with every telecom company in India to drive Tegra enabled products in the Indian market,\u201d Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO, president and co-founder, Nvidia, said, on a recent trip to Pune.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>NVIDIA is also increasing their employees at the Pune facility, up from 1,000 people currently employed there.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFive years ago we were zero in India, today we have 20% employees in India with critical development work happening from the Pune office. Five years from now, we may have 80% of our global workforce in Pune,\u201d Mr Huang said. \u201cEven I could be based in Pune then,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What do you think about this globalization?\u00a0 This <a href=\"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/abt\/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=20420&amp;p=35212\">topic<\/a> is already being discussed in our forums.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mark Poppin<\/p>\n<p>ABT Senior Editor<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Please join us in our <a href=\"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/abt\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">Forums<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Become a Fan on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/AlienBabelTech\/123268467142\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/AlienBabelTech\/123268467142', 'Facebook']);\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow us on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/alienbabeltech\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/twitter.com\/alienbabeltech', 'Twitter']);\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the latest updates from ABT, please <a href=\"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/?feed=rss2\" target=\"_blank\">join our RSS News Feed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Join our Distributed Computing teams<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Folding@Home &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech &#8211; 164304<\/li>\n<li>SETI@Home &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech &#8211; 138705<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldcommunitygrid.org\/reg\/viewRegister.do?teamID=3P39R3SRV1\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.worldcommunitygrid.org\/reg\/viewRegister.do?teamID=3P39R3SRV1', 'World Community Grid &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech']);\" target=\"_blank\">World Community Grid &#8211; Team AlienBabelTech<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: We just now heard from NVIDIA&#8217;s Senior PR Bryan Del Rizzo, Monday morning, that The Economic Times source we quoted in our original news piece\u00a0is in error: \u00a0While we are expanding into this&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2533,6,7],"tags":[227,121,3199,1432],"class_list":["post-15956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-abt-news","category-news","category-technology","tag-india","tag-nvidia","tag-prune","tag-tegra"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15956\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
