From design to silicon IP
This image was generated by AI and may not depict real events.
India has a strong presence in chip design, but lacks ownership of the designs and intellectual property. The government is promoting indigenous IP through initiatives like the Design Linked Incentive scheme to move beyond assembly-led participation.
India has a significant presence in the global semiconductor industry, with many global majors operating R&D centers in the country. However, the ownership of chip designs and intellectual property largely resides outside India. The government is promoting indigenous IP through initiatives like the Design Linked Incentive scheme. India's talent pool is vast, but much of it is channeled into services-led models that prioritize short-term revenues over long-term innovation. The economics of the semiconductor industry make it clear that without IP ownership, India risks remaining confined to lower-value segments. The government can play a catalytic role by creating a reliable domestic market through public procurement policies.
