Semiconductor Manufacturing Plant I came across a blog written by Deepak Sekar, the Chief Scientist at Monolithic 3D and he makes several interesting points as to how Korea became the De-facto memory hub. The story of Korea in the 1960s and where India is now is uncannily similar. Hopefully, the Indian Government takes lessons from this and formulates a policy that works here. Let’s look at the points Deepak makes and see what could be applicable in the Indian context:
This is a PuneChips event, a forum for Pune people interested in semiconductors design/apps/EDA What: A Talk on PCI Express Architecture and Applications for FPGAs by Kiran Puranik

Dr. Ramachandran also presented this at the 2011 VLSI conference. They have posted it online. Click here to download the PDF.This event is jointly brought to you by PuneChips and LSI Corporation.

I like virtual summits as they allow participants from all over the globe participate in discussions rather than limit them to a few local attendees. Granted, the timing is odd for India but people are known to work late nights to satisfy their bosses in the Valley. So, attending this is not too far fetched. For those interested, please visit for information. Click here for registration. What: A seminar on Digital Design and Prototyping with Verilog by Mr. Basu

SystemVerilog Guru Cliff Cummings is back in town and he will be holding another seminar on April 19th at the MCCIA auditorium on Senapati Bapat Road from 4:00pm to 7:30pm. Most recently, Cliff was here in November 2009 and this seminar gives a great opportunity for engineers to re-engage with him. This event is completely free, but registration is required. Please visit this link to register and view the agenda.

It has been well over twenty five years since Texas Instruments first set up shop in Bangalore. Other global semiconductor vendors have since made Bangalore, and more recently NOIDA, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai into huge R&D hubs that develop products for global consumption. Indian engineers are now designing latest chips and systems using cutting edge technologies. However, not a single Indian chip company has emerged onto the global scene given all this teeming talent. This in itself is surprising, as the low cost Indian environment should make hi-tech businesses thrive. It is said that a semiconductor startup in the Silicon Valley has to raise funds in the range of of US $50m – $60m to be successful. With India’s lower costs of engineering resources, this number could be cut by half or a third, and make life much more simple for the VC as well as the entrepreneur. However, we don’t really see this happening. Why? Probably because India lacks the advanced angel investor culture that focusses on funding and advising hi-technology startups.
