AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said. The new 500,000-square-foot (55,5...

MapmyIndia and ISRO join hands to provide detailed 3D maps of India

MapmyIndia, an India-based navigation service announced on Friday that it will be partnering with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in order to enhance the mapping quality, especially 3D maps. The company is aiming to enhance 3D mapping as they plan to enter the metaverse.

The MapmyIndia Executive Director and CEO Rohan Verma claims that the partnership with ISRO will introduce benefits such as geospatial mapping, satellite data, earth observation, analytics and consumer-centric location-based services altogether. Furthermore, the partnership with ISRO will make the entire process an indigenous Public-Private Partnership.

Verma explained how the data from ISRO will be put to use in order to provide a much more accurate and real-time detail about a specific location. He provided an instance of how some snow-clad routes keep altering due to the weather and how ISRO data will help determine the expanse of the snow cover. The company claims this to be RealView.

Verma claimed that, “Using the Mappls portal or Mappls app of MapmyIndia, a common commuter can see the route and navigation from Leh to Manali as an example, and also see in real time, whether there’s snow cover and where all the snow cover is, which is coming from earth observation data from ISRO.”

Additionally, Verma explained how the users will be able to use this feature to see vegetation maps or heat maps, air quality maps, and other information on exact locations that are searched by people or on routes of their interest, through the collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

“Finally, this RealView that we are bringing to market which is from the skies or space using satellite imagery from ISRO, from the drones and the road-based vehicles that MapmyIndia is flying and driving to create fully three-dimensional high definition and 360-degree data will create innumerable applications and benefits for citizens,” Verma said.
