HCL founder and EPIC Foundation chairman Ajai Chowdhry feels India is neglecting its chips design strengths. While substantial strides have been made in chip manufacturing through semiconductors, design focus has been left behind. Chowdhry stresses the importance of mainstreaming chip design to build a strong ecosystem, tapping India's talent pool to design indigenous chips. He opines that product designing in India, instead of merely manufacturing, will add more value and decrease reliance on foreign technologies. This strategic move will help India become a global leader in the semiconductor industry.
