The State of India's Semiconductor Ecosystem
There's a lot of discussion about India's semiconductor ecosystem, but it's hard to assess what's really happening.
Which attempts have met expectations and which haven't?
What would it take for there to be world-beating Indian chip design firms?
How well are the chip assembly projects doing?
This talk will address such questions and help you make sense of this domain.
