India's digital economy is entering a decisive phase, where ambition must translate into scalable engineering outcomes. From adaptive silicon and edge computing to AI-driven data centres, the country's next growth wave will be shaped as much by design depth as by deployment scale. For AMD India, this moment represents both an opportunity and a responsibility.

Speaking to Dataquest, Jaya Jagadish, Country Head and Senior Vice President, Design Engineering, AMD India, outlines how the company is positioning itself as a catalyst for India's digital acceleration. She explains how AMD's India operations have evolved from a modest engineering hub into the company's largest global design centre outside the U.S.A., anchoring work across silicon design, AI platforms, and high-performance computing.

Jagadish also reflects on the strategic role of GCCs, the shift towards GPU-driven workloads, and the importance of sustained industry-academia collaboration in building future-ready talent. Together, these elements define AMD India's two-decade journey and its growing influence on India's emergence as a global semiconductor and AI powerhouse.

AMD India is driving India's AI and silicon ambitions through adaptive computing, high-performance platforms, and deep engineering talent.

How do you see AMD shaping up within India's rapidly evolving digital economy, particularly in promising areas like adaptive silicon, edge computing, and high-performance AI workloads and creating a platform for solving some of the world's most complex engineering challenges?

AMD is well positioned to be a catalyst of India's digital acceleration. As we look ahead, I see our role evolving across three critical dimensions that will define India's digital future.
