India plays an integral role in designing the semiconductors needed for smartphones, artificial intelligence, automotive software and industrial applications.
Most of the country’s semiconductor ecosystem is rooted in design, not fabrication. The Indian government wants to change that, though: In 2021, it unveiled its $10.2 billion India Semiconductor Mission, which aims to incentivize chip manufacturing in the country.
