Mumbai, March 21 -- The Government of India is spearheading a transformational shift in semiconductor chip design, ensuring that "Design in India" becomes as pivotal as "Make in India." Through strategic initiatives led by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the nation is systematically overhauling semiconductor design across 300+ organisations, including 250 academic institutions and 65 start-ups. This initiative aims to democratise chip design, enabling innovators from every corner of the country to contribute to the semiconductor revolution.
Chips to Start-up (C2S) Programme: Empowering the Next Generation Goal: Train 85,000+ industry-ready professionals at B.Tech, M.Tech, and PhD levels in semiconductor chip design. Approach: Hands-on training in chip design, fabrication, and testing, in partnership with leading industry players. Support: Access to EDA tools, semiconductor foundries, and prototyping resources for developing ASICs, SoCs, and IP Core designs.
ChipIN Centre: India's Largest Semiconductor Design Hub Established at C-DAC under the C2S Programme, ChipIN Centre is a state-of-the-art facility offering: Advanced chip design tools supporting nodes up to 5nm. End-to-end design, fabrication, and packaging services. A centralised platform for India's semiconductor design community.
