The REAL Challenge for India's Semiconductor Industry
As India ramps up its efforts to become a global semiconductor manufacturing hub, one of the most critical challenges it faces is building a skilled workforce that can support this rapidly growing industry. People may think India already has a huge work-force, but the key issue they ignore is that almost none of the workers have any experience in this industry, as it simply did not exist in India before now.
