“We have tried and ensured that we provide state-of-the-art infrastructure to these students, who have the will to learn and are the future,” said Dasaradha R Gude, managing director, AMD R&D Center, India. “These initiatives will truly benefit the students and the community. Our local AMD India employees are truly excited about creating the ideal local conditions and an ecosystem for students in Hyderabad as part of the global 50×15 Initiative.”
