Expanding its India workforce and research operations, Marvell moves to capture rapidly growing demand for advanced AI chips.
US chipmaker Marvell Technology is preparing a significant expansion in India as it seeks to capture soaring global demand for AI and cloud infrastructure. The company plans to increase its India workforce, currently about one thousand seven hundred employees, by fifteen percent each year for the next three years, India head Navin Bishnoi said in an interview. He confirmed that research and development spending will rise but did not disclose the scale of the investment.
India is becoming increasingly important to Marvell as data center capacity grows and data protection regulations tighten. Bishnoi noted that India now ranks among the largest data center markets worldwide and said Marvell is in active discussions with global hyperscalers and domestic firms to broaden its client base.
Marvell operates multiple engineering centers across India. Bengaluru serves as its main hub, Hyderabad focuses on security solutions for data centers, and Pune hosts a team working on embedded development for networking and storage. These centers support Marvell’s global portfolio of advanced chip designs used in AI systems, cloud computing and high speed networking.
Although India contributes only a small share of Marvell’s revenue today, the company expects meaningful long term growth. As a fabless chip designer, Marvell does not manufacture its own chips, but it is engaging with local outsourced semiconductor assembly and test providers as India rolls out a ten billion dollar government incentive program aimed at building a full scale semiconductor ecosystem.
