169 - The Future Of Semiconductors | Gaurav Goel | Arun Mampazhy | Bharatvaarta | Policy

The 2020–2022 global chip shortage is an ongoing crisis in which the  demand for integrated circuits (commonly known as semiconductor chips)  is greater than the supply, affecting more than 169 industries[3] and  has led to major price increases, shortages and queues amongst consumers  for automobiles, graphics cards, video game consoles, computers, and  other products that require semiconductors.[4][5][6] Commonly cited  causes for the shortage include the COVID-19 pandemic, the China–United  States trade war, and various severe weather incidents.   The Indian government has announced a 76,000 crore scheme to boost  semiconductor and display manufacturing in the country. We're also  seeing inter-country talks between India and Taiwan, with TSMC and UMC  looking to set up a facility in India. Can this lead to India being the  hub for semiconductors in the future?  Our guests for this episode are Gaurav Goel and Arun Mampazhy. Gaurav is  a micro architect with two decades of experience in the semiconductor  field. He has worked with prominent companies like Intel, Synopys, and  is currently working at AMD.   Arun has a BTech from IIT-M and MS from University of Maryland in  semiconductor fabrication and over a decade of industry experience. He's  also keeping a keen eye on semiconductor manufacturing in India.    Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfBfBd-1kvCOPxVll8tBJ9Q/join
