He’s in India to attend the three-day ‘SemiconIndia 2023’ convention, which kicked off right here on Friday.

The convention, its second version, organised by India Semiconductor Mission in partnership with business and business associations, is aimed to make India a worldwide hub for semiconductor design, manufacturing and know-how growth. SemiconIndia was held in Bengaluru final 12 months.

The theme of the Convention is ‘Catalysing India’s Semiconductor Ecosystem’.

Concerning the assembly between the Micron Know-how CEO and PM Modi, the Prime Minister’s Workplace tweeted, “Mr. Sanjay Mehrotra, President and CEO of @MicronTech, met PM @narendramodi in Gandhinagar.

The MoU seeks to determine a collaborative mechanism between the 2 governments on semiconductor provide chain resiliency and diversification in view of the US’s CHIPS and Science Act and India’s Semiconductor Mission.

The US and China are giants in chip manufacturing. So, this pact with the US to strengthen cooperation within the semiconductor sector to facilitate business alternatives and the event of innovation ecosystems is probably going to assist India immensely.

It will possibly assist India align right into a extra central function within the world electronics provide chain. The crunch in semiconductors provide started throughout COVID-19 and went on to accentuate in 2021.
