Volume 2, Issue 2
STAFF REPORT KARACHI: The Intel Pakistan would create demand for information technology (IT) in the country and is now selling processors is a small part of the bigger picture for the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer.

“The company takes a long-term look at the computing landscape and the countries it invests in. We do not focus on short-term returns like most other companies,” said Intel Pakistan Country Manager Naveed Siraj in his comments about the company’s 2010 operations in Pakistan.

He said that Intel, as a global technology and business leader, believes that it is uniquely positioned to help drive environmental sustainability and improve education.

According to a market observer, it is all about a very large country which has the potential to mimic India's IT developments and resources," said one industry observer. The company can easily afford to wait for five to ten years for domestic processor demand to multiply.

"We hope to reflect some of what we do globally in Pakistan," said Siraj, explaining that analysts had predicted that 2011 would see higher IT budgets.
