Dr. Walden Rhines Vision on Semiconductor & India-March 5, 2014 |
Last month India Electronics & Semiconductor Association (IESA) held its Vision Summit at Bangalore in which luminaries from across the semiconductor and electronics industry presented their views about the future of this industry and India’s progress. Dr. Walden C. Rhines, Chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics presented interesting facts and trends about the semiconductor industry in his keynote speech. Dr. Rhines, a great technologist, strategist and visionary, I admire, particularly talked about what makes India best suited to embrace the fabless opportunity in the overall semiconductor ecosystem. I’m moved by his insight into Indian semiconductor business dynamics, strengths, weaknesses and how he rightfully cites a sustainable opportunity for India to focus upon. So what are the trends? Which segment is gaining traction?
