Empowering India: The Semiconductor Way

India is at the inflection point of an explosion in the domestic consumption of electronics goods and embedded systems. Starting with $10 plus Billion in 2004, Frost and Sullivan projections for consumption in 2016 are over $300 Billion, mostly for cell phones, personal computers, set top boxes, and other communication devices. This exponential increase in demand for electronics goods in India will result in a corresponding increase in the domestic demand for semiconductor products, thereby creating a unique and significant business opportunity for semiconductor companies to market and distribute semiconductor products, provide assembly and testing services, design chips and related products, create and enhance world class technology, and manufacture semiconductor chips in India, with the market estimated to be worth at least $40 Billion by 2016. With potential revenues of over $300 Billion a year, the electronics and semiconductor industry in India will be a completely new industry that will far exceed the number of direct and indirect jobs, the amount of trade and commerce, the size of export, and the business activity generated by any other modern industry in India.

SemIndia is a company promoted by world-class entrepreneurs and semiconductor industry veterans to realize the huge semiconductor and electronics potential in India. The primary objective of SemIndia is to act as a catalyst for the growth of the semiconductor industry in India and making India a global hub for semiconductor products, manufacturing and intellectual property creation and enhancement. SemIndia is working with the Government of India (GOI), Government of Andhra Pradesh (GOAP), the India Semiconductor Association (ISA), an industry association of more than seventy-five (75) multi-national companies, and other strategic partners and customers, including some of the leading semiconductor companies of the world, for manufacturing, marketing and distributing customized products for the Indian market with the goal of bringing down the price of semiconductor products so that everyone in India can afford computing and broadband communication.

SemIndia is poised to embark on a journey that will result in the establishment of the most advanced ecosystem for electronics and semiconductor production and associated infrastructure, logistics and distribution systems in India. This ecosystem will serve not only the domestic market but will also make India a global player in the export market creating a new and vibrant semiconductor industry in India that will result in the creation of millions of new high technology and related jobs, generation of billions of dollars from export of semiconductor products, savings of additional billions of dollars by import-substitution, creation and enhancement of world class intellectual property and ushering in a culture of innovation for sustaining and further developing the semiconductor industry in India.
