India's semiconductor revolution: A talent-building initiative
Big news for techies: India's semiconductor industry is gearing up to add one million jobs by 2026, according to industry reports and analyzes.
Roles will range from chip fabrication (about 300,000 jobs) and assembly/testing (another 200,000), to opportunities in chip design, software, and supply chain management.
It's a massive hiring wave for anyone interested in tech.
Training programs for the right skills
The industry needs engineers, technicians, operators, and specialists with skills in everything from quality control to materials engineering.
To tackle a current shortage of skilled talent—especially for fabrication—ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel (AM/NS) India has launched training centers like NAMTECH in Gujarat.
Their first batch saw full placement thanks to hands-on programs and fellowships.
Gujarat is India's semiconductor hotspot
Gujarat is fast becoming India's semiconductor hotspot with big players like Tata Electronics setting up shop.
The Government of India has invested heavily—₹76,000 crore—to boost R&D and skill development as part of a national initiative.
If you're looking at a career in semiconductors, this could be your moment.
