Country Manager Intel Pakistan

Intel started its business in Pakistan in 1997 in three
cities. Now we are in 50 cities with about 1000 channel
partners registered with us. For the past thirteen years,
Intel Pakistan has played a pivotal role in facilitating
growth of the local IT industry; from spreading IT
awareness within the country to strengthening the local
market. When Intel Pakistan started its business
thirteen years ago, the Pakistani IT industry was almost
nonexistent. We have grown strength to strength and
continue to play the role of a catalyst to bring local
players on a single platform and help them gain
recognition on a national level.
The IT industry in Pakistan has undergone a dramatic
change in the recent years led by the government with
the aim of making it a major player in the industry. With
perhaps every global IT company in the world having
presence in Pakistan, and with revenues growing by
30%-40% year on year, the IT industry is probably the
most exciting and dynamic sector in the country today.
The computer industry is characterized by 75,000
professionals, major ongoing IT projects within the
government and the private sector to the tune of
hundreds of millions of US dollars, and world-class
software products and services, company bears
testimony to the vibrancy of the IT and IT-enabled
services in Pakistan. IT has indeed been taken out of
the closet and has been mainstreamed into every
aspect of industrial and economic activity within the
country.
On the 63rd Independence Anniversary of Pakistan, I
am very proud to say that Intel has distinguished itself
by becoming the pioneers of technology in the country.
Intel has brought to the table a revolution by
tremendously enhancing the productivity of
professionals, enriching computing experience and
empowering the citizens by bringing cutting edge
technology, same time it is launched everywhere else in
the world.
Recently, Intel launched the all-new 2010 Intel® Core
family processors, in Pakistan. The new 2010 Intel
Core processors, i3, i5 and i7, are manufactured on the
company’s 32 nanometer process, which includes Intel’
s second-generation high-k metal gate transistors
We hope to continue this growth in Pakistan and at the
same time fuel growth of the local IT industry. Our aim is
to help bridge the digital divide through various
initiatives and continue helping the local industry
develop. There is still a large segment of the Pakistani
population that doesn’t have access to technology.
Keeping this in mind, I feel there is immense potential
for Pakistan to progress further ahead in these areas.
We pray for peace and prosperity of Pakistan. Amen
