Wipro is joining the semiconductor race, and it's a big deal
Wipro Enterprises is considering entry into the semiconductor sector, exploring chip assembly and testing (OSAT) services.
This comes amid big investments by the Tata Group and Murugappa Group, showing how serious India is about becoming a global hub for chips.
Wipro's entry could help speed up the country's push for self-reliance in tech.
Wipro's PCB plant near Bengaluru will create 350 jobs
Wipro isn't just talking: it's building a new printed circuit board (PCB) plant near Bengaluru.
No production start date is specified in the source. India currently meets about 85% of its PCB demand through imports and the facility will create about 350 jobs.
Plus, with Wipro Limited's design teams working with partners such as Intel and TSMC, Wipro says it can slash chip design costs by up to 30% using AI.
For anyone interested in tech careers or India's place in global electronics, this is a pretty big deal.
More players in the chip game means more innovation
With more companies investing and new plants coming online — Micron has begun commercial production, while Tata's timeline for scaling to commercial production is not specified.
If Wipro enters the race, it could create more opportunities for innovation and jobs, and maybe even putting "Made in India" chips inside your next device.
