Why We’re Building a Training and Placement Academy?
The semiconductor industry is not just shaping the present—it is defining the future. From powering the smartphones in our hands to enabling cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles, chips are the heartbeat of the modern world.
India has recognized the importance of this sector and has set a bold target: to be among the world’s top five semiconductor producers by 2029.
Why Semiconductors Matter?
Today, the global semiconductor industry is valued at over $600 billion and is projected to surpass $1 trillion by 2030. Yet, the supply chain remains highly concentrated, with a small group of companies and countries controlling the bulk of production.
The rapid demand for chips has already exposed vulnerabilities in global supply chains, and this creates a unique opportunity for emerging players like India.
India is not only aspiring to meet its domestic semiconductor needs but is positioning itself as a critical player in the global market.
With a semiconductor ecosystem currently valued at $20 billion, industry estimates suggest that by 2028, India’s semiconductor market could grow to $80 billion—a staggering fourfold increase in just a few years.
Seizing the Opportunity: A Training and Placement Academy
One of the key barriers to India’s semiconductor ambitions is the shortage of skilled talent. The semiconductor manufacturing process—from design and fabrication to assembly and testing—requires a highly specialized workforce.
To meet this growing demand, it is essential to build a pipeline of talent equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to support the industry’s growth.
To address this gap, we are developing a Semiconductor Training and Placement Academy, aimed at cultivating the next generation of semiconductor engineers, designers, and technicians.
Our goal is to not only train professionals in the core competencies required for chip production but also to connect them with leading semiconductor firms through our placement initiatives.

The Talent Challenge and Resource Demand
As per industry reports, India will need over 200,000 skilled professionals in the semiconductor sector by 2026. This includes experts in chip design, fabrication engineers, technicians for testing, and professionals with expertise in managing complex semiconductor supply chains.
Today, India’s engineering talent is a strong foundation, but the specific knowledge required for semiconductors is an area that needs rapid development.
This is where our academy comes in—offering targeted training programs designed in collaboration with industry leaders and educational institutions.
We aim to bridge the gap between the demand for skilled labor and the supply of job-ready professionals. With the right curriculum and partnerships, we can ensure that India’s talent pool meets global industry standards.
Key Stats Driving the Semiconductor Sector
- $10-20 billion: The cost of building a single semiconductor fabrication unit.
- 9 out of the top 15 global chip makers have a presence in Singapore, a valuable partner for India.
- India’s semiconductor market value is expected to grow from $20 billion today to $80 billion by 2028.
- 200,000+ skilled professionals needed by 2026 to support India’s semiconductor goals.
Building the Future: A Complete Ecosystem
While our immediate focus is on training and placement, our vision extends beyond just talent development. India needs to build a complete semiconductor ecosystem—one that includes design, fabrication, assembly, testing, and research and development.
Currently, the Indian government has raised its incentives for semiconductor manufacturers to $15 billion, targeting not just chip assembly but the critical raw materials and technologies required to build state-of-the-art fabrication units.
However, all of this will mean little without the skilled workforce required to bring these ambitions to life. Our academy will play a key role in ensuring that India’s aspirations in this sector are matched by a talent pool ready to take on the challenge.
Collaboration and Growth
To make this vision a reality, we are collaborating with global industry leaders, technology partners, and educational institutions. By leveraging the expertise of these partners and aligning our training programs with the industry’s current and future needs, we aim to create a continuous pipeline of talent that can fuel India’s semiconductor growth.
India is at a critical juncture. The global semiconductor market is evolving, and supply chains are shifting. With the right investments, policy support, and a robust talent pool, India can emerge as a global hub for semiconductor production.
Our Training and Placement Academy is an important step in that direction—building the workforce needed to power this transformation.
Together, we can ensure that India not only meets its domestic semiconductor needs but also becomes a key player in the global semiconductor industry.
