I was invited to visit the Nvidia Tech Week this past weekend (February 25-26, 2012) at their facilities in Pune. This is a great concept – getting employees to invite friends and relatives to actually see what their company is all about is very good social outreach and a fantastic marketing initiative. If more tech companies in the area do similar events once or twice a year, it will help lift the shroud of technical opaqueness around them. I think hosting similar events in area colleges will also help students realize that even VLSI/Embedded Systems Design is cool.

The $45 Akash The irrepressible Mr. Sibal has done it again. He thinks that a high powered govt. committee can supervise the manufacture of a mil-spec Akash (Siblet – I have borrowed this name from @comicproject on Twitter) through BEL and ECIL for $45. Let me get this straight – a few current and retired bureaucrats who probably majored in English or Hindi Lit will now tell some folks at a sarkari company how to design a tablet and get it done. Secondly, he wants the tab to be Indegenized. This is getting beyond ridiculous to say the least.

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: 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.
Continue reading India Needs Angels, not Fabs to Propel Semiconductor Growth On November 11, 2010, Pune Mirror did a story on investments related to Storage, Networking and Computing chips in Pune. The story is not available online unfortunately, but can be read in the e-Paper version, under ‘City’ section, Page 07. For those who are interested in reading this article, we are uploading a scanned copy of this story. Read it here: Pune Area Hi-Tech Investments Total [...] Continue reading Pune Area Hi-Tech Investments At $1B
