Post by iVP Semiconductor

India's semiconductor journey will not be defined by how quickly we catch up. It will be defined by where we choose to lead. In a recent feature by The Times Of India, our Founder & CEO, Raja Manickam, shared an important perspective on India's semiconductor ambitions: focus on building strength in areas where we can create differentiated value- design, advanced packaging, product innovation, and foundational semiconductor technologies. For decades, India has built a reputation as the world's engineering powerhouse. Today, we have an opportunity to translate that talent into products, intellectual property, and globally competitive semiconductor solutions. While advanced wafer fabrication remains an important long-term goal, India's immediate opportunity lies in leveraging its design expertise, growing semiconductor ecosystem, and manufacturing capabilities to create products that solve real-world problems across mobility, industrial, energy, communications, and strategic sectors. As the industry evolves, success will not come from replicating another country's roadmap. It will come from building an ecosystem that plays to India's strengths while steadily expanding capabilities across the semiconductor value chain. At iVP Semiconductor, we share this vision. We believe India's path to semiconductor leadership will be built on innovation, product development, ecosystem collaboration, and a relentless focus on creating value where it matters most. Thank you to The Times Of India for featuring Raja Sir's views on this important conversation shaping the future of India's semiconductor industry. #Semiconductors #IndiaSemiconductorMission #ChipDesign #AdvancedPackaging #Innovation #ProductDevelopment #MakeInIndia #iVPSemiconductor #Electronics #DeepTech Ponni Carlin Abu Alex Mathew Kuhan Madhan Vijay Bolloju Abani Jagadeesha India Semiconductor Mission India Electronics and Semiconductor Association Bennett Coleman & Co.
