Product Differentiation

— Process AND design differentiation

— Moderate volume application niches

— Higher design effort per square mm of silicon

— More “art” than digital design

— Lack of multi-sourcing of functions

Infrastructure

— Application support

Product Differentiation Alone Makes Switching

Summary

While the number of new fabless startups has declined substantially in the West during the past decade, they are growing in India

India has key capabilities to stimulate growth of semiconductor companies — Design services companies — Design engineering expertise and innovation — Returning entrepreneurs — Educational system

Direct interaction with equipment/systems companies will complete the product development process

…[entrepreneurial business] in India has been held down for years..[due to] big problems with transport, infrastructure, government intervention at national and local level, swarming chaos and confusion in the streets, blatant poverty.

BBC News Business 6/26/2011

Time has come to demonstrate our leadership position by building our own capabilities in IC design, IC fabrication and design & manufacturing of electronics products”

Ajay Kumar 2/21/2011 Joint Secretary,

Dept. of Information Technology

India's portion of a $250 billion semiconductor market is marginal. It has only two fabless startups, its innovation record as measured by the number of patents granted is dismal, it suffers from a dearth of Ph.Ds and high attrition rates, what talent it does have is undisciplined and it let China dominate completely in systems manufacturing.

EE Times Asia 1/12/2009

I recall a discussion in mid-2005 where an industry expert mentioned that fabless was the way forward for the Indian industry! Between then and now, fabs were supposed to come up, but they failed. Nevertheless, one must not give up hope!

Semiconductor Frustrations Abound

Consumption of electronics in India is all set to cross $400 billion by 2020… threatening to cause a major balance of payments crisis by outpacing oil import bill. the country needs to build an ecosystem to avert such crisis.

The Hindu Business Line & J.A. Chowdary, The Indus Entrepreneurs TiE, 2012

India, where the demand for chips goes in billions both in revenue and shipment, needs companies [like Cosmic Circuits] to balance its trade deficit in electronics hardware. Its time for VLSI design service companies in India to get into own product development.

EE Herald, 2011

Approximately 95% of the software and hardware companies in India... base their businesses around outsourcing, while the remaining 5% are Indian-American owned high technology product development startups that are similar to those of Silicon Valley.

Go4 Funding “The Changing Landscape of Indian

Entrepreneurship and Angel Investments”

The proposed national policy… aims to address the huge gap between locally produced electronics and the domestic demand for electronics in India.
