McAfee to create more jobs in India


IT security firm McAfee is looking at adding more jobs at its centre in Bengaluru and will continue to invest in growing local business in India, a top official said.

Global chipmaker Intel had last September spun out McAfee as a separate company with private equity player TPG owning 51 per cent share in the new entity. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017.

One of our largest sites around the world is in Bangalore. We continue to invest in that. We are actually adding new functions into the site there, Intel Security General Manager and SVP Christopher Young told. Under Intel, it was primarily development centre, but now we are adding finance, IT, HR to that site as well to support the new (unit), he added.

While Young declined to comment on investment or specific number of jobs to be created, he said the new roles will be created "over the course of the year".

India is one of our fastest growing markets. We have been growing in the double digits over the last several years and we expect to continue that trajectory and that is across public and private sector, he said.
