India is the only country with enough skilled manpower to compete with China in the semiconductor industry, boasting 20 per cent of the world’s semiconductor design talent concentrated in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Pune.This unique advantage, built over decades as global tech giants established large R&D centres in India, positions the country to challenge China’s dominance in global semiconductor capacity, especially in defence electronics, where China is expected to hold 65 per cent share by 2030. Despite China’s rapid expansion in defence electronics supply chains growing by 600 per cent since 2004 India’s vast pool of skilled engineers and designers offers a critical competitive edge. Do you think that the united states lacks the skilled labor required to drive the semi-conductor industry ?
