There are one more failure story by "Vedanta " is another company who failed in 2008 to build a factory in North India. Tata group is looking to enter semiconductor manufacturing and they are started to work on it from 2020.
When there's a problem - gov't is always the origin. Stop giving legitimacy to democracy by your vote. There is no one thing in a human life in need of central power or majority voting. You trust competition in every aspect in your life, but not when it comes to law making and security. What works perfectly everywhere else is not working when it comes to laws and order - you think. This is how stupid you are.
India has top talent and the capability in almost all major industries. Petty politics, Lack of quality leadership and accountability is the reason for this sad state. Most intelligent people are pushed out of the country because the old guard doesn't want change.

I still remember how Intel went to Vietnam after dumping bangalore because the lack of speed by our govt officials.It was back in 2005 when i was 15 years old or something. I used to track the events from newspaper and buisness today magazines.Intel setup their sem fab center in Vietnam at a cost of 10 billion $. And because of Intel's entry, Samsung and other electronics companies also came to Vietnam. Today both Intel and Samsung accounts around 60% of the total 220 billion $ exports from vietnam, ie about 130 billion $. It also created around 1 million + jobs.And today India's total export is around 350 billion $. Compare the lost possible exports by Intel and Samsung with our present exports. What a big loss for our country becoz of our incapable buerocracy.
My group has set up a $150 million networking component manufacturing unit in Vietnam. We are all ex CISCO employees (all Americans of Indian origin) and we chose Vietnam instead of China and of course India. However, 35% of all parts are still made in Shenzen. Vietnam is ideal - lower labor than China, fast set up, huge incentives, port is 1 hour away from factory, highly skilled engineers are only issue. Funny part is we hired 25 top IT/Networking engineers from India. They will train our Viet staff. Hope India improves - but for now, they are jokers.

It goes to a larger truth - India sorely missed out on the electronics manufacturing revolution which is what lifted Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia after the WW2. By the time India realised, it was too late. She was always playing catch-up and the economies of scale had already been realized elsewhere. Tough lesson but one to keep in mind.
@@rajwade695 it was evil of colonialism that forced majority of former colonies to go after Socialism. And it worked so wonder for them that they are happy to let it go !!
I talked to Indian and Pakistani acquaintances about this before. They told me a good part of the problem is a culture thing. The infamous bureaucracy doesn't understand the semiconductor business and the sacrifices needed to stay on the bleeding edge. Additionally, they are culturally "cheapskates" as they'd like to put it and there is always brain drain as top talent never stays because they're too stingy to pay competitively. As if there's a mindset that everyone is always replaceable. In the most technically demanding fields, this could not be more false.
Culture and religion and technical progress are always at odds with each other. And God prefers to keep it that way so that he can torture his devotees to the fullest extent.

Indian engineers go to philippines for semiconductor related training. I am one of the instructor in training. The problem of indian engineers are they look themselves as a highly educated people that knows everything. Everytime I finished discussing the topic in the training, I asked if they understand the topic. They will reply that they know already the topic that I discussed. I asked them to do it by their selves and none have been finished after 4hrs.I just laughed at them and told that they are in training and not in college. There is no grades in training and if they dont understand, they should asked for clarification.
You are dealing with a nation full of emotional in-secure people. In-secure people always claims that knows everything before you finish explaining to them in details. They do that in the professional world.

Having started as process engineer in '70s and risen to the highest levels in that area, I know a thing or two about how to get successful fans going. Fires, power interruption etc. etc. are surmountable, but lack of discipline, pettiness, political interference, 'know it all', sycophantic behavior towards anyone who is non-Indian, no pride in one's work, and to make a quick buck are very hard to overcome. Simply put semiconductor manufacturing requires discipline and perseverance. That's the root cause why semiconductor manufacturing has not survived. And if India is to survive in an increasing hostile world, it better get in house semiconductor manufacturing and invest in it for the long haul as if their very existence depends on it
Sir, DISCIPLINE, DEDICATION AND DETERMINATION, without which we will go nowhere. I was in manufacturing , heavy engineering, started in late '70s and am deeply distressed by the very poor skills of technicians and workmen. Your comments are spot on.
I important thing you forgot about the tough sanctions that were placed on India from 1998-2008 after the Nuclear tests of 1998. As a result SCL wasn’t able to acquire critical components from US and EUROPE. The sanctions we so tough that India couldn’t even get SUPER COMPUTERS so we had to make our own from scratch. So after the sanctions were lifted in 2008 SCL was able to restart manufacturing of chips
Forget microprocessors even basic 74 series logic gates are not made here. The logic gates made SCL were highly unreliable. We never used these in our products but instead chips imported from abroad.
Not a valid excuse, China face much tougher sanctions. I think the main difference for China and India tech is that more Chinese engineers are willing to coming back from western countries. (I hold no "India-hating" emotion when I write this reply, I wish our southern neighbor can have a prosperous future. Believe it or not, even though Chinese like to make jokes about India but deep down we all wish India to be our next biggest trading partner, just like a few century ago.)

@Mayuri Vietnam cannot be next China, its a stupid propoganda to show India the ground. Vietnam neither has the size, nor the manpower, nor the capacity to hold that level of capability to run so much shit around itself. While Vietnam will grow up to be more successful and industrious in the region, its not going to become China. Most of the Infra bullshit will be fixed in just a few years, believe it or not because NHAI is throwing so much money into the projects and completing them way ahead of time. We've broken world records. We have Modi and his cabinet to thank for it, I just hope there are more people like Nitin and Piyush. India currently has more roads than US and China, only thing lacking is the highways and expressways compared to China. India became 2nd most attractive manufacturing destination in just a year by reforming its policies and PLI is a roaring success, we are second to China only and being alternative to China is a huge boon because of rising hatred for the nation and communist policies being a impediment. You might have not realized it yourself but the amount of work done in manufacturing sector is already slowly starting to pay off. By 2025 you'll have so many manufacturing hubs and India will easily overtake the Phone market. Let us not put ourselves down, our people are working their hardest. It's better to be positive than blindly negative.
@Mayuri I hope that might be the case but Vietnam is not going to be the next China in any time soon (less than 10-15 years is impossible). Delta variant crippled our country hard this year, especially regions with the highest concentrated industrialized level. So FDI and other sources of investment are leaving our country, or at least they allocate demands to other countries in SEA who can supply (due to better anti-Covid strategy). Lots of companies are reconsidering the prospect of investing into our country.
I remember back in 2015 there was a lot of craze of semiconductor manufacturing to start here but then in 2016 the government of Gujarat said it won't spend money and expected private companies to lead the funding, or something similar and then the whole thing fizzled out. Tata, a month ago once again glared up hopes they want to start to manufacture semiconductors. Let's see how that one works ago.
Unless tata does more then car manufacturing they won’t be able to afford it. Even buying dirt cheap equipment to make commodity chips doesn’t make a good business plan when you make enough clean room space.
@S G - Semiconductor design and manufacturing is a capital intensive undertaking and that only the government can afford to splurge huge amount of money with ROI in the next ten years or getting nothing at all. The US built their technological strength courtesy of Federal fundings on basic research via DARPA and other alphabet agencies. The Indian government should step up to the plate and spearhead the development of semiconductor design and manufacturing and then handover the management and marketing to a competent private concern.
There was Hindustan Semiconductor (Fairchild collaboration) plant in Gujarat in 70s. It manufactured analog components like transistors and LM741 like ICs. This was closed due to some labor strike.
It was government intervention that messed the whole thing up. China started a new project a few years ago and got a veteran from TSMC to head up the building of a new fab. Project tanked.
@@tanishqbhaiji103 That's not the only reason. government brings legislations depending on their mood. Why would anyone want to invest when Government can bring a legislation taxing all their income right from 1961. Who would trust such a Govt? And this is irrespective of who is ruling.
No use, the government worker is just interested in getting his or her salary. Top of the food chain just looks to win the next election somehow. As long as you keep succumbing to the religion card, you will never be on par with a developed country.
Exciting times for semiconductor stocks TSMC, AMD and NVDA. which are all experiencing a surge in value. It's interesting to watch the competition develop, given these stocks are major contributors to Al chip growth. On the increase of my personal holdings, I've witnessed amazing impact on my shares.
Intel and AMD will definitely have their share of the market. TSMC is at max capacity and investing in other semiconductor companies will be an absolute power move, Different chips are good at different things and Nvidia has been very specialised, which leaves other aspects of Al open.
certainly, i had bought NVDA shares at $300, $475 cheap b4 the 10 for 1 split and with huge interest I keep adding, i’m currently doings the same for PLTR, POET and AMD constructively. Best possible way to get ahead, is participating behind top experienced performers.
8:00 It took EIGHT YEARS to reopen after the fire. That shows a massive lack of urgency. You can’t run any business, if it can’t recover from setbacks.
They couldn't even figure out the cause of the fire. That's really sad. If you can't pinpoint the cause of a problem, and fix it, you will not succeed in large-scale, hi-tech manufacturing.
As an electronics engineer from Mumbai, india, the more I looked into stuff n politics n the paper work needed is maddening. I left India for good. I've been into microcontrollers & coding since I was 10-12 years old and even did my bachelors only to see IT companies snatching jobs away n pure electronics with poor pay. They just want our coding skills n try push us heavily into IT sector n bangalore. Heck, in my 4 years study i know 3 good colleges in Mumbai remove electronics engineering as subject. Even my department 1 year after I left has reduced the number of classes from 2 till 1. All cuz there's no scope or hope. They push for electronics & telecommunications (like what u did) cuz again, IT sector where the telecom part plays the part. Some have asked n told me to come back to India so that talent doesn't leave India. But I'm so done with it, I'm never going back and planning to even leave my citizenship. Don't care, have suffered already too much pain n would complete masters in UK n after that for Nordic/Scandinavian countries or Switzerland or Japan. (mostly in schengen counties)
@Suprabh Pranjal horizon is is something that never reaches us n always is there. No matter how much u chase it you'll only fond new horizons. Its the same as "tomorrow never comes" cuz "there's always a new tomorrow". And on top of that the Indian attitude of "chalta hai" & "jugaad" with the education system that values memory over problem solving skills, it's never gonna attract the talents it has in its own land/soil. People either leave for better stuff, like good pay work n happiness with balanced life that too in a better n developed country where people know what courtesy is (even like driving for eg) OR people stay n see their hoes n dreams be crushed or find a job they like better but not in the electronics industry weirdly enough.
I was surprised to hear one fire accident would destroy the entire semi-conductor industry? It does not sound convincing enough for me. Even in those days, chip companies would have multi-sites with backup operations and expertises exactly for this kind of eventualities.
I believe its leadership and human capital which was their ultimate downfall, ive worked in companies where slowly, a large majority of the workforce is replaced, and as expected, the quality and professionalism gives way to corruption and nepotism, its not unheard of whole departments staff who are related either by blood, village or state lines.
I used to work in America's semiconductor industry and it requires a lot of infrastructure for everything to work properly. We had two massive diesel generators in the event of a power outage because even 5 minutes of down time has the potential to ruin tens of thousands of wafers currently being processed. It's a very delicate process which is why even China still has trouble with manufacturing semiconductors today.
Nah you need a infinity source of very clean water so much that your cities don't go dry with India's groundwater dropping more than 5% each year its not sustainable. Also due to global warming and erratic rain patterns no backup for water source. Glad we missed this expensive party
@@lelins300 Very sensible answer 👍. Not always do we need to be on the bleeding edge as it could be detrimental to us in the long run. Not sour grapes though. But curious how Taiwan manages the water supply.
It breaks my heart to know that India imports worth about INR 2.0 Lakh crore (US$ 25-27 billion) every year whereas tiny nations like Taiwan, Korea etc. have the capability to manufacture and we don't.
well there are alot of factors, mainly, lack of silicon, skilled workforce, and most of all, huge population to feed, hopefully population will start going downwithin two decades

@@jayantasen3567 The biggest reason according to me is that India adopted the socialist model where the govt (aka the public sector) was to manufacture all hi-tech goods including the semiconductors. However, the Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese adopted the capitalist model where the private companies with the full support and funding from the govt was to take lead in industrialization. Indian govt companies (PSUs) stood no chance in competing with the likes of Samsung, TSMC etc.

There are many countries in the world who gained independence after India are far ahead than India. When it comes to manufacturing China will always win because of their work force. Indian labor's can never compete with China. I have personally seen myself because labors from India have no discipline. Whereas Chinese labors are workaholics.

It is a pity India can't fully utilize so many of their amazing talents I seen and met so many Indian's who are so well versed in their field of study/expertise. But most end up deciding to settle in the countries outside that hired them since they are appreciated there more than their own country.
Really liked this video. As a commentator has said "replace semiconductor with any manufacturing technology" , and you have India. I recently returned from New York to join my dad's business in electrical manufacturing. I had this "H1B visa", a cushy job and an opportunity to live in the best city in the world. Period. But I decided to come back to Bangalore to innovate in soft starter manufacturing. However, there are MAJOR issues with the infrastructure in the industrial area where I'm at (Peenya). There's the worst roads, garbage strewn around, and worst, erratic electrical supply. Some of this might not be related to production per se, but hey, no one likes to walk to the nearby canteen getting covered in mud, or have your bed blown off trying to navigate the nth crater on the road. And it sucks to have to pay for your own electricity when the BESCOM power just tanks due to one drop of rain. Unfortunately, all cries for help fall on deaf ears since no one lives in an industrial area.... And hence no votes for the MLA to care about. Unfortunate perverse incentives at play. Talent isn't too bad though, although many candidates I interviewed had poor vocational skills having gone to a shoddy institute run by an entrepreneur politician. Long story short, the infra and setup in India and Bangalore in particular, was always anti-manufacturing. It's amazing the sheer will mine and my fellow companies have in running their firms in an area which looks worse than war-time Kabul. It's no surprise then that IT came to Bangalore and India, and continues to drive the start up revolution. There was no regulation, smart talent, availability of computers, and ironically, no help from government needed. As a result, IT drove most of India's growth, employing tens of thousands, and millions later. It was IT that got the dudes in Gurgaon and Bangalore to build these (private) tech parks, and got the fancy pubs and restaurants in these places. Even now, parts of Whitefield have Singapore like infra inside, with Badlapur like outside. However, I do feel that times are changing and there are reasons to be happy. For all its ills, this present government is doing a good job in investing in road infrastructure, and our highways have tremendously improved. There's more and more amazing and daring talent coming out and cities like Bangalore/Gurgaon, and are resulting in amazing entrepreneurs like Bhavish Agrawal drive the EV revolution. Recently Tata has decided to enter the EV market full scale and are investing in semiconductor technology too. Long story short, I am cautiously optimistic of India IN. JAI HIND 🙏
India didn't signed NPT...so foreign companies cannot transfer higher semiconductor technologies to indian companies....similar restrictions for nuclear, aerospace, super computers, critical software..... Funny thing is....many Indians working in these fields in other countries
Yes Nd 😁 Taiwan also investing 7 bilion for manufacturing semiconductors 😋 Anyway atleast it will give our some well qualified People's job 😊 Also they wil get trained 😁
It will take atleast 5-6 years to set up a fab and it will take much longer to for them to manufacture chips that are comparable to the high end chips manufactured by the competition. Taiwan's investment is more promising.
I remember back in the day teaching Indian electronic workers how to fix thru hole mounts, covered by bad soldering, by using a small drill. The next day we found them using a hammer drill. I found that while there's excellent engineers etc, what was really lacking were the skills of the common labourer. Also there was the horrible power grid, with constant brownouts and starting of spare generators. I certainly hope things have improved, because I do have high hopes for India. (This was some 20 years ago)
Growing urbanisation with limited power infrastructure leads to issues. However rather than fixing the grid and supply which will take atleast a few more decades, it's better to have dedicated uninterrupted power lines for special applications that could be aided by generators and batteries. I've been living in a major Indian city and not experienced a disruptive power cut at work or home in a long time. This is also because I have installed an inverter powered by lead acid batteries. Also the public education system is horrible and still rooted in colonialism i.e meant to produce slaves not citizens. Politicians don't want to fix the education system because then the people would actually wake up to their BS and vote them out. This is the primary reason why common labourers are lacking skills when compared with other countries.
@@thunderb00m Eh, a lot of places were Colonial and are doing much better than India. It’s not the education system. Its the lack of ability to be educated. Look at the b-roll.
1) Excellent comment and insights. Power has improved. There is a determined effort at expanding renewable energy as Coal and gas (which have expanded a lot but depend on imports) are a sort of millstone around our necks and we have far too much sunshine. eVehicles too is getting policy direction. Progress on the ground is not too bad. However, entry requirement like Silicon production went by the way of semiconductor Technology. I'm told efforts were abandoned because of undercutting by Chinese. Hopefully the pandemic and geopolitical situation will convince those with capital to invest strategically.

I go to an Indian high school (my father was born in India), and now I'm working as an engineer in the US. This is purely based on my opinion, no offense is meant by this comment my brother Most of us(Indian) can only say things in theory, concept and etc, we're just memorizing a lot of things, not try to make a new things. We have to change this guys, I think the main reason for this is our education system (you see, most of JEE or IIT test is to measure how well you memorize a lot of formula, yes the question is very hard, but just be honest, most of you have seen that question so many times in prep school, also you've remembered how to do it in only 2 steps with magic formula). THIS IS WRONG, you have to try to fully comprehend it.. that's what makes Europe/US manufacturing is much better than us despite the easier college entry exam problem. The mindset is just different and this has to change. Stop memorizing, stop theorizing, start to create a real good product. You're an engineer my friend, not a theoretical scientist.
Bro, I don't know how you thought that there's magic formula for questions asked in IITs entrance exams. IITians don't need any certificate from anyone in the world regards their intelligence. If you want proof for that, go to any major tech firm in your beloved USA and see who are the best performers there. Furthermore, you aren't in sync with current Indian setup. Visit Bangalore once and there's a startup at every nook and corner. I really believe that we as a nation are on correct path. Just a bit of correct political and administrative help will make this century, the Indian century.
This matches my experience in the past. Training people from USA requires people to understand the context first and why things work that way before you actually start solving problems. When training people from India, the mindset for training looks a bit like programming computers (remind me the Mentat from Dune novel). As human computers they are excellent, but they do not look at other variables that westerners look for. Training people from India requires lots of structure.
@@tabishrabbani3148 See bro here's the problem. Most of these toppers go to iits not to gain knowledge, research and invent new things. They just go to bag 8-9 figures paycheck in billion dollar companies and work under them. If they are research oriented most of them opt for overseas Universities like MITs. One of the Jee adv topper, AIR 1 I guess went to MIT. People treat the tag of IITian as a show off. This needs to change. Our education system should promote more research oriented and analytical skills. Entrance exams should be based on the same. Rather than making exams super hard they should give more importance to what they teach and mend the curriculum. India has a great deal of potential but it's being used up in the wrong direction. If you put students in a box then of course there won't be any out of the box thinking.
@@sjjdhwhjw1257 bro it's easy to criticize IITians that they aren't research oriented. But just compare the budget of IITs with top research universities. When I was a student there, I remember that Union govt had allotted a budget of 24,000 crores for all IITs while Harvard itself has a budget of 22,000 crores. For research, you need top notch machinery, labs and equipments which unfortunately isn't possible for a developing nation like us to provide.

With the resources we had, we have done greatly as a nation, in last 70 years in the field of human resource development and it is our greatest asset
There is no shortage of smart and talented people in India. But Indian political leadership sucks because they are a Democracy. Like all Democracies, the masses of idiots will always vote for stupid leaders who talk well, but can't deliver on anything. That's why most of India's best and brightest will leave the country. Thomas Sowell summed it up like this: "Indians will succeed everywhere, except India."
Indians boast, brag, arrogant. They like to talk and talk. That's why if you want to talk look for Indians. If you want to get things done promptly look for the Chinese. That explanins why Indians will vote for demagogues. Talk and talk but nothing gets done.
Fundamentally, the failure was built in at conception. Instead of removing barriers and bureaucracy to the private sector, the government decided to get into the business itself, like it did before, making light bulbs, tractors, watches, telephones and telephone exchanges and on and on to disastrous effect.
L Sequeira I think you need to update. Have you heard of Samsung built a plant (factory) for making smart phones & that is the biggest in the world, near Delhi? it is working with full production.
@@Ironclad17 India is awiting for private industry to take up large-scale industrialisation (investment) for 7 decades. The private sector is yet to measure up to the country's expectations. Failing which the government has to take upon itself the task of industrialasiation & financial reforms (bank nationalisation). They (private sector) don't enter any business if it doesn't give fast returns at minimal investment. Then how can they be trusted & expected to industrialise the country?
@@MrPoornakumar Governments and private sectors both excel at their own things. You're highly overly generalizing the private sector with the whole "if it doesn't give fast returns at minimal investment. " then the private sector wants nothing to do with it. Sure a government can take a loan (or afford it without loaning) of 40 billion to get a semiconductor factory off of the ground in one go and even if it goes bad...meh you loan more or you increase taxes like most governments do. In the private sector that's a good way to bankruptcy, you would be very fortunate to get a second chance after a big screw up like that and even then it often comes down to luck as to whether you make it or not. A government can afford to go all in with minimal risk to itself. As a private investor you wanna go step by step. To give an example of an industry I am more familiar with Instead of building an integrated steel mill from the get go a private investor will at first build a facility for iron making or casting or product rolling and get good at that part. Once you feel confident in your skills, expertise and have the financial capital to take the risk you add another step. You add say a plant for steel making and you learn to find your footing in that market because the market for iron is vastly different than the one for steel. You rinse and repeat until you've got an integrated steel mill that can do all steps. Unwieldy bureacracy, corruption, nepotism, politics (both national and international), climate, the laws in place,... All those things determine how much a private investor wants to take the risk in India and how much they can thrive. Perhaps private investors did give it a go and India simply didn't protect them enough thus making the ventures fail. It wouldn't be the first time a politcians didn't properly support an initiative at the right time.

as an Indian watching this and comparing with the investment of $15.2 billion to set up three semiconductor plants in the country including its first fab unit, to be built by Tata Group in collaboration with Taiwan-based company seems like kids trying to get into the college lol
India need not despair, as someone who is an engineering graduate in the US, you will be suprise how many indian research scientist working in the US such as IBM, Bell Labs, etc. What India need to do is to offer these indian researcher better grants to entice them back to India. Like TSMC founder, indians has as many chance to built one by riding on US knowhow and funding.
That's the problem!! We have good talent both in India & outside but the problem has always been governments dilly dollying handling of the fan industry & it's lack of focussed approach. Semiconductor is a capital intensive industry & the government needs to have a stable & long term plans for it. All the countries where semiconductor industry has grown successfully the government has played a huge part.
Entice them back to India... India can never offer them life conditions they have in US. It's completely different lifestyle, culture... Once you get used to it you can never go back. It is very easy to get used to it, especially if you are successful at whatever you do. Regarding TSMC. They are factory. More or less assembly line. It's business not science. In my eyes scientists that made it all possible are those who made tools TSMC are using. USMC, Carl Zeiss... No one can make highend semiconductors without companies like them. Even more basic level are physicists. Physics is what defines limits of technology.
Educated manpower is not the problem. India has that in spades. Capital investment, supply chain and technology items needed to kick-start the industry is what is lacking.

So many flammable things in a fab lab. My favorite, and one I depended on heavily, silane. It’s in a class of materials called pyrophoric. Meaning it ignites when exposed to atmosphere! Fun times, glad I now design chips instead of make them.
Spoiler alert!!! Few days back i did a thorough research regarding India’s quest for semiconductor fabs and the first attempt was made in 2006 by a group of US based NRIs named “SemIndia” which was failed. Again another attempt was made around 2013-14 named HSMC and Jayprakash Associates but again failed as both the companies failed to provide requisite documents as per LoI even after several extensions.
That would be my biggest fear abut starting a business in India. I live in Canada but I love India's traditions much more than I love anything about Canada; I have posters of Kali around me; I've read the Gita thousands of times, and I've read the whole Mahabharata; but I don't like the casts system as it is today, and I fear most of all the bureaucracy and corruption. I lived my young years in a country in South America where corruption and bureaucracy were the way of life, and I don't want to EVER again face that kind of thing, like having to bend the knee and give cash to some crooked government guy because he has the power to not approve some bureaucratic requirement. If that happened to me again, I'd probably put an end to the injustice expeditiously, and end up in jail for it.

Expecting India to get this right is like expecting Frankenstein's monster to behave like a normal human being.
As the Fab business is very risky, India can put its focus on ATMP (Assembly, Testing, Marking and Packing) or OSAT or "more than Moore" device manufacturing. That could be a better start to built an ecosystem.
@@adithyadanaj9768 That’s a pretty rose colored view you are painting there, bud. Are you sure it’s not hyperbole? Ford and GM have left India. Investments into India have stagnated since 2017-2018. Tesla is still not in India. Meanwhile, in China semiconductors have rapidly progressed. I am an Indian who has been living in the US since 1994, and have had a pretty successful career in the semiconductor industry. India has a very very long way to go to catch up to the world in the latest 5nm and 2nm manufacturing of the latest chips. Your blithe white washing of everything is typical of these you get generation of ultra nationalistic and jingoistic Indians. They never ever acknowledge their significant shortfalls. Living in delusion.
@@KJ6EAD actually, smoking is absolutely banned in the fab. We have to use a special lint free wipe in the fab to avoid particle generation, but such material is easily combustible, these wipes are used for wiping both acids and solvents. The protocol is to dispose them is segregated bins but ignorant operators might accidentally mix them up, ending in a fire. Some of the chemicals in the fab is instantly combustible upon exposure to air, if the bins are anywhere near these chemicals, you have a recipe for a disaster.

It’s wonderful to listen to you. While most analysis have fallen down to low grade exhibitions, the topic you choose as well as the objective presentation is highly commendable and informative. Thank you for your critical work.
I am an Indian and IMO, this is a good report. There was no bias, blames, doubts on capabilities and racist views. The video gave just facts. India is behind in semiconductor fabs. Indians, generally, don't have problem when people point out our weaknesses for constructive criticism. It is only when people just show them with the intent of shaming Indians, we remind them that no country is perfect and their country has problems too. We give them their own medicine.
Do not confuse effects for cause. Culture is biggest problem, but as we know, changing it is at most impossible. And some people think that repeating something what do not work, will work at some point...

@@larryc1616 yeah, vedanta is particularly mining company and Foxconn electronics manufacturing company. I don't how they will do it😅 But still hoping for best.😊
As I have been saying.. Vedanta and Foxconn cannot start a semiconductor fab. I work as a design engineer. These two companies have no experience in starting or running a fab. It was bound to fail as we know now.. shame on Rajeev Chandrasekhar who is the minister of state for electronics who has been misleading people regarding this.. now he has taken a u turn…
India is extremely large country, a lot of things happen at the same time, I'm assuming you only focus on the -ves, atleast give some legit points before making such a broad generalisation. Btw *highly successful PLI Scheme* has been implemented to support manufacturing of Semi conductors.
I have worked with Indians engineers when Ericssons was still manufacturing in Australia. They are very smart individuals. Just like the Chinese, they think outside the squares.
The indian state has handed over the effort to private firms. In a counter proposal, the private firms have asked the govt for full market access. That means banning imports of chips and LCD panels and forcing the Indian public to buy only Indian made chips and displays. This proposal too was also acknowledged.
It would been nice if Asianometry delved into the deeper thought process behind the government not pushing ahead with its semiconductor plans after the fire hiccup. If there was a strong desire to continue with the path, a single fire could not have been such an insurmountable event. Many Indian rockets failed, another highly capital intensive endeavor, but the government pushed on.
The difference is that the rocket isn't mass produced and doesn't have to compete with international ones in a free market,but the rocket is also necessary for india security because of it's conflicts with China.
India never saw it self as a leader. How can it guha still thinks we should not aim to be superpower. What india exceled was bare minimum needed for survival that it could not buy. That is nukes. They are needed to discourage misadventurous of neighbours like china. Now nuke on their own are useless. So we needed a delivery tech i.e. Missiles. So we have a great nuke focussed missile program. But these missiles need target information so we have good satellite program. More than that no we didn't. So we lags all else. But can we build the tech. Yes we can we demonstrated we have the capability to master complex tech. What we lack is intent and our leadership never had that intent. Congress blue blood wants to keep india poor so that they needn't share power with others.

People dont realize what it takes to set up a modern fab. When I explained to my brother how 18nm chips are made, he thought I was joking. He had no idea that kind of technology even existed. ( look it up, its mind blowing ) India has the talent to do this , the real issue was a government that couldnt decide if they wanted to fund it or not...but they always kept their hand on the tiller. ( and their hands out for bribes ) So whenever a group would form to build a fab, companies that sell chips to India would bribe local officials to stand in the way.
Also as someone that has worked in the semicon industry before, a lot of their procedures require extreme cleanliness ie no dust. Now maybe that plays a factor

My colleague and close friend at Intel was one of the key people hired by SCL in the 80's to spearhead its operations. Prior to that, he was a professor of Electronics at IIT Bombay. He eventually left SCL precisely because of the lack of motivation and drive, and complacency, that most Government units of that era suffered from. He eventually joined Intel India in 2004 (where we first met and worked together for a number of years on various technologies). It was because of him that I came to know of India's forays into semiconductors, of SCL and its demise.

Having started as process engineer in '70s and risen to the highest levels in that area, I know a thing or two about how to get successful fans going. Fires, power interruption etc. etc. are surmountable, but lack of discipline, pettiness, political interference, 'know it all', sycophantic behavior towards anyone who is non-Indian, no pride in one's work, and to make a quick buck are very hard to overcome. Simply put semiconductor manufacturing requires discipline and perseverance. That's the root cause why semiconductor manufacturing has not survived. And if India is to survive in an increasing hostile world, it better get in house semiconductor manufacturing and invest in it for the long haul as if their very existence depends on it

I think you said that very well.
Sir, DISCIPLINE, DEDICATION AND DETERMINATION, without which we will go nowhere. I was in manufacturing , heavy engineering, started in late '70s and am deeply distressed by the very poor skills of technicians and workmen. Your comments are spot on.
I important thing you forgot about the tough sanctions that were placed on India from 1998-2008 after the Nuclear tests of 1998. As a result SCL wasn’t able to acquire critical components from US and EUROPE. The sanctions we so tough that India couldn’t even get SUPER COMPUTERS so we had to make our own from scratch. So after the sanctions were lifted in 2008 SCL was able to restart manufacturing of chips
Don't bluff.

Forget microprocessors even basic 74 series logic gates are not made here. The logic gates made SCL were highly unreliable. We never used these in our products but instead chips imported from abroad.
Not a valid excuse, China face much tougher sanctions.
I think the main difference for China and India tech is that more Chinese engineers are willing to coming back from western countries.
(I hold no "India-hating" emotion when I write this reply, I wish our southern neighbor can have a prosperous future. Believe it or not, even though Chinese like to make jokes about India but deep down we all wish India to be our next biggest trading partner, just like a few century ago.)

@Mayuri Vietnam cannot be next China, its a stupid propoganda to show India the ground. Vietnam neither has the size, nor the manpower, nor the capacity to hold that level of capability to run so much shit around itself. While Vietnam will grow up to be more successful and industrious in the region, its not going to become China. Most of the Infra bullshit will be fixed in just a few years, believe it or not because NHAI is throwing so much money into the projects and completing them way ahead of time. We've broken world records. We have Modi and his cabinet to thank for it, I just hope there are more people like Nitin and Piyush. India currently has more roads than US and China, only thing lacking is the highways and expressways compared to China. India became 2nd most attractive manufacturing destination in just a year by reforming its policies and PLI is a roaring success, we are second to China only and being alternative to China is a huge boon because of rising hatred for the nation and communist policies being a impediment. You might have not realized it yourself but the amount of work done in manufacturing sector is already slowly starting to pay off. By 2025 you'll have so many manufacturing hubs and India will easily overtake the Phone market. Let us not put ourselves down, our people are working their hardest. It's better to be positive than blindly negative.
@Mayuri I hope that might be the case but Vietnam is not going to be the next China in any time soon (less than 10-15 years is impossible). Delta variant crippled our country hard this year, especially regions with the highest concentrated industrialized level. So FDI and other sources of investment are leaving our country, or at least they allocate demands to other countries in SEA who can supply (due to better anti-Covid strategy). Lots of companies are reconsidering the prospect of investing into our country.
I remember back in 2015 there was a lot of craze of semiconductor manufacturing to start here but then in 2016 the government of Gujarat said it won't spend money and expected private companies to lead the funding, or something similar and then the whole thing fizzled out.

@S G - Semiconductor design and manufacturing is a capital intensive undertaking and that only the government can afford to splurge huge amount of money with ROI in the next ten years or getting nothing at all. The US built their technological strength courtesy of Federal fundings on basic research via DARPA and other alphabet agencies. The Indian government should step up to the plate and spearhead the development of semiconductor design and manufacturing and then handover the management and marketing to a competent private concern.
There was Hindustan Semiconductor (Fairchild collaboration) plant in Gujarat in 70s. It manufactured analog components like transistors and LM741 like ICs. This was closed due to some labor strike.
It was government intervention that messed the whole thing up. China started a new project a few years ago and got a veteran from TSMC to head up the building of a new fab. Project tanked.

Exciting times for semiconductor stocks TSMC, AMD and NVDA. which are all experiencing a surge in value. It's interesting to watch the competition develop, given these stocks are major contributors to Al chip growth. On the increase of my personal holdings, I've witnessed amazing impact on my shares.
Intel and AMD will definitely have their share of the market. TSMC is at max capacity and investing in other semiconductor companies will be an absolute power move, Different chips are good at different things and Nvidia has been very specialised, which leaves other aspects of Al open.
This is the type of in-depth detail on the semiconductor market that investors need, also the right moment to focus on the rewarding AI manifesto.
Im unconvinced about intel future. Do you really think nvidia can keep up this surge rate and stream for the better part of the decade.
certainly, i had bought NVDA shares at $300, $475 cheap b4 the 10 for 1 split and with huge interest I keep adding, i’m currently doings the same for PLTR, POET and AMD constructively. Best possible way to get ahead, is participating behind top experienced performers.

As an Electronics and Communication Engineering student, this is really heartbreaking
As an electronics engineer from Mumbai, india, the more I looked into stuff n politics n the paper work needed is maddening. I left India for good. I've been into microcontrollers & coding since I was 10-12 years old and even did my bachelors only to see IT companies snatching jobs away n pure electronics with poor pay. They just want our coding skills n try push us heavily into IT sector n bangalore.
Heck, in my 4 years study i know 3 good colleges in Mumbai remove electronics engineering as subject. Even my department 1 year after I left has reduced the number of classes from 2 till 1. All cuz there's no scope or hope. They push for electronics & telecommunications (like what u did) cuz again, IT sector where the telecom part plays the part.
Some have asked n told me to come back to India so that talent doesn't leave India. But I'm so done with it, I'm never going back and planning to even leave my citizenship. Don't care, have suffered already too much pain n would complete masters in UK n after that for Nordic/Scandinavian countries or Switzerland or Japan. (mostly in schengen counties)
@Suprabh Pranjal horizon is is something that never reaches us n always is there. No matter how much u chase it you'll only fond new horizons. Its the same as "tomorrow never comes" cuz "there's always a new tomorrow". And on top of that the Indian attitude of "chalta hai" & "jugaad" with the education system that values memory over problem solving skills, it's never gonna attract the talents it has in its own land/soil.
People either leave for better stuff, like good pay work n happiness with balanced life that too in a better n developed country where people know what courtesy is (even like driving for eg) OR people stay n see their hoes n dreams be crushed or find a job they like better but not in the electronics industry weirdly enough.

I was surprised to hear one fire accident would destroy the entire semi-conductor industry? It does not sound convincing enough for me. Even in those days, chip companies would have multi-sites with backup operations and expertises exactly for this kind of eventualities.
If there were no fire, there would be another reason, because a reason must be found for the failure anyway.

I used to work in America's semiconductor industry and it requires a lot of infrastructure for everything to work properly. We had two massive diesel generators in the event of a power outage because even 5 minutes of down time has the potential to ruin tens of thousands of wafers currently being processed. It's a very delicate process which is why even China still has trouble with manufacturing semiconductors today.

It breaks my heart to know that India imports worth about INR 2.0 Lakh crore (US$ 25-27 billion) every year whereas tiny nations like Taiwan, Korea etc. have the capability to manufacture and we don't.
It's not about the size though, but about the level of development. Taiwan and Korea especially are much more technologically advanced countries.
well there are alot of factors, mainly, lack of silicon, skilled workforce, and most of all, huge population to feed, hopefully population will start going downwithin two decades
@Ciskolunar Yes I agree. Even Europe and US have fallen way behind the Koreans, Taiwanese and Chinese in fab manufacturing.

@@jayantasen3567 The biggest reason according to me is that India adopted the socialist model where the govt (aka the public sector) was to manufacture all hi-tech goods including the semiconductors.

Really liked this video. As a commentator has said "replace semiconductor with any manufacturing technology" , and you have India. I recently returned from New York to join my dad's business in electrical manufacturing. I had this "H1B visa", a cushy job and an opportunity to live in the best city in the world. Period. But I decided to come back to Bangalore to innovate in soft starter manufacturing. However, there are MAJOR issues with the infrastructure in the industrial area where I'm at (Peenya). There's the worst roads, garbage strewn around, and worst, erratic electrical supply. Some of this might not be related to production per se, but hey, no one likes to walk to the nearby canteen getting covered in mud, or have your bed blown off trying to navigate the nth crater on the road. And it sucks to have to pay for your own electricity when the BESCOM power just tanks due to one drop of rain. Unfortunately, all cries for help fall on deaf ears since no one lives in an industrial area.... And hence no votes for the MLA to care about. Unfortunate perverse incentives at play. Talent isn't too bad though, although many candidates I interviewed had poor vocational skills having gone to a shoddy institute run by an entrepreneur politician. Long story short, the infra and setup in India and Bangalore in particular, was always anti-manufacturing. It's amazing the sheer will mine and my fellow companies have in running their firms in an area which looks worse than war-time Kabul. It's no surprise then that IT came to Bangalore and India, and continues to drive the start up revolution. There was no regulation, smart talent, availability of computers, and ironically, no help from government needed. As a result, IT drove most of India's growth, employing tens of thousands, and millions later. It was IT that got the dudes in Gurgaon and Bangalore to build these (private) tech parks, and got the fancy pubs and restaurants in these places. Even now, parts of Whitefield have Singapore like infra inside, with Badlapur like outside. However, I do feel that times are changing and there are reasons to be happy. For all its ills, this present government is doing a good job in investing in road infrastructure, and our highways have tremendously improved. There's more and more amazing and daring talent coming out and cities like Bangalore/Gurgaon, and are resulting in amazing entrepreneurs like Bhavish Agrawal drive the EV revolution. Recently Tata has decided to enter the EV market full scale and are investing in semiconductor technology too. Long story short, I am cautiously optimistic of India IN. JAI HIND 🙏

I remember back in the day teaching Indian electronic workers how to fix thru hole mounts, covered by bad soldering, by using a small drill. The next day we found them using a hammer drill. I found that while there's excellent engineers etc, what was really lacking were the skills of the common labourer. Also there was the horrible power grid, with constant brownouts and starting of spare generators. I certainly hope things have improved, because I do have high hopes for India. (This was some 20 years ago)
Growing urbanisation with limited power infrastructure leads to issues. However rather than fixing the grid and supply which will take atleast a few more decades, it's better to have dedicated uninterrupted power lines for special applications that could be aided by generators and batteries.
I've been living in a major Indian city and not experienced a disruptive power cut at work or home in a long time. This is also because I have installed an inverter powered by lead acid batteries.
Also the public education system is horrible and still rooted in colonialism i.e meant to produce slaves not citizens.

Most of us(Indian) can only say things in theory, concept and etc, we're just memorizing a lot of things, not try to make a new things. We have to change this guys, I think the main reason for this is our education system (you see, most of JEE or IIT test is to measure how well you memorize a lot of formula, yes the question is very hard, but just be honest, most of you have seen that question so many times in prep school, also you've remembered how to do it in only 2 steps with magic formula).
THIS IS WRONG, you have to try to fully comprehend it.. that's what makes Europe/US manufacturing is much better than us despite the easier college entry exam problem. The mindset is just different and this has to change. Stop memorizing, stop theorizing, start to create a real good product. You're an engineer my friend, not a theoretical scientist.
Bro, I don't know how you thought that there's magic formula for questions asked in IITs entrance exams.
IITians don't need any certificate from anyone in the world regards their intelligence. If you want proof for that, go to any major tech firm in your beloved USA and see who are the best performers there.
Furthermore, you aren't in sync with current Indian setup. Visit Bangalore once and there's a startup at every nook and corner. I really believe that we as a nation are on correct path. Just a bit of correct political and administrative help will make this century, the Indian century.
This matches my experience in the past. Training people from USA requires people to understand the context first and why things work that way before you actually start solving problems. When training people from India, the mindset for training looks a bit like programming computers (remind me the Mentat from Dune novel). As human computers they are excellent, but they do not look at other variables that westerners look for. Training people from India requires lots of structure.

Rather than making exams super hard they should give more importance to what they teach and mend the curriculum. India has a great deal of potential but it's being used up in the wrong direction.

A government can afford to go all in with minimal risk to itself. As a private investor you wanna go step by step. To give an example of an industry I am more familiar with Instead of building an integrated steel mill from the get go a private investor will at first build a facility for iron making or casting or product rolling and get good at that part. Once you feel confident in your skills, expertise and have the financial capital to take the risk you add another step. You add say a plant for steel making and you learn to find your footing in that market because the market for iron is vastly different than the one for steel. You rinse and repeat until you've got an integrated steel mill that can do all steps.
Unwieldy bureacracy, corruption, nepotism, politics (both national and international), climate, the laws in place,... All those things determine how much a private investor wants to take the risk in India and how much they can thrive. Perhaps private investors did give it a go and India simply didn't protect them enough thus making the ventures fail. It wouldn't be the first time a politcians didn't properly support an initiative at the right time.

India need not despair, as someone who is an engineering graduate in the US, you will be suprise how many indian research scientist working in the US such as IBM, Bell Labs, etc. What India need to do is to offer these indian researcher better grants to entice them back to India. Like TSMC founder, indians has as many chance to built one by riding on US knowhow and funding.
That's the problem!! We have good talent both in India & outside but the problem has always been governments dilly dollying handling of the fan industry & it's lack of focussed approach. Semiconductor is a capital intensive industry & the government needs to have a stable & long term plans for it. All the countries where semiconductor industry has grown successfully the government has played a huge part.
India underfunds education and r&d
Entice them back to India... India can never offer them life conditions they have in US. It's completely different lifestyle, culture... Once you get used to it you can never go back. It is very easy to get used to it, especially if you are successful at whatever you do.
Regarding TSMC. They are factory. More or less assembly line. It's business not science. In my eyes scientists that made it all possible are those who made tools TSMC are using. USMC, Carl Zeiss... No one can make highend semiconductors without companies like them. Even more basic level are physicists. Physics is what defines limits of technology.
Educated manpower is not the problem. India has that in spades.
Capital investment, supply chain and technology items needed to kick-start the industry is what is lacking.
Successful Indians graduates who have made it in the developed white USA won't return to backward black India ...... sad but largely factual.

Spoiler alert!!!
Few days back i did a thorough research regarding India’s quest for semiconductor fabs and the first attempt was made in 2006 by a group of US based NRIs named “SemIndia” which was failed. Again another attempt was made around 2013-14 named HSMC and Jayprakash Associates but again failed as both the companies failed to provide requisite documents as per LoI even after several extensions.
That would be my biggest fear abut starting a business in India. I live in Canada but I love India's traditions much more than I love anything about Canada; I have posters of Kali around me; I've read the Gita thousands of times, and I've read the whole Mahabharata; but I don't like the casts system as it is today, and I fear most of all the bureaucracy and corruption. I lived my young years in a country in South America where corruption and bureaucracy were the way of life, and I don't want to EVER again face that kind of thing, like having to bend the knee and give cash to some crooked government guy because he has the power to not approve some bureaucratic requirement. If that happened to me again, I'd probably put an end to the injustice expeditiously, and end up in jail for it.

Some of the chemicals in the fab is instantly combustible upon exposure to air, if the bins are anywhere near these chemicals, you have a recipe for a disaster.

Indians, generally, don't have problem when people point out our weaknesses for constructive criticism. It is only when people just show them with the intent of shaming Indians, we remind them that no country is perfect and their country has problems too. We give them their own medicine.

It would been nice if Asianometry delved into the deeper thought process behind the government not pushing ahead with its semiconductor plans after the fire hiccup. If there was a strong desire to continue with the path, a single fire could not have been such an insurmountable event. Many Indian rockets failed, another highly capital intensive endeavor, but the government pushed on.
hey I think you people are forgetting india was going through a financial crisis before 1991
The difference is that the rocket isn't mass produced and doesn't have to compete with international ones in a free market,but the rocket is also necessary for india security because of it's conflicts with China.
India never saw it self as a leader. How can it guha still thinks we should not aim to be superpower. What india exceled was bare minimum needed for survival that it could not buy. That is nukes. They are needed to discourage misadventurous of neighbours like china. Now nuke on their own are useless. So we needed a delivery tech i.e. Missiles. So we have a great nuke focussed missile program. But these missiles need target information so we have good satellite program. More than that no we didn't. So we lags all else. But can we build the tech. Yes we can we demonstrated we have the capability to master complex tech. What we lack is intent and our leadership never had that intent. Congress blue blood wants to keep india poor so that they needn't share power with others.
