Instruments
Demand for TI products in India rose with increased design activity in
industrial and medical electronics, and energy and customers like GE Medical
Systems and Conzerv. It increased OEM partners to reach 1,000 by the year-end.
This was a marked shift from earlier times when TI in India was more focused on
supporting only the global R&D. On the R&D front, the India development center
contributed significantly to the development of LoCosto and OMAP processors. TI
entered into a relationship with IISc, whereby it joined TIs premier research
network as the first university outside of the US.
