New Delhi (AFP) – When Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared India's "late entry" into the global semiconductor race, he pinned hopes on pioneers such as Vellayan Subbiah to create a chip innovation hub.
The chairman of CG Power, who oversees a newly commissioned semiconductor facility in western India, is seen as one of the early domestic champions of this strategic sector in the world's fastest-growing major economy.
"There has been more alignment between the government, policymakers, and business than I've ever seen in my working history," Subbiah, 56, told AFP.
