The Truth About India’s Chip Industry | Raja Manickam on Semiconductors, OSAT & India’s Future

India’s semiconductor ambitions are growing rapidly but what does it really take to build a self-reliant chip ecosystem? In this episode of Beyond the Bit, ‪@singhania.saharsh‬ sits down with Raja Manickam, a semiconductor industry veteran with over four decades of global experience across Singapore, the US, Malaysia, Japan, and India. From founding Tessolve to leading Tata’s OSAT initiatives, Raja brings a ground-level perspective on what India must do to reduce dependency on foreign semiconductor supply chains. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: -How the global semiconductor value chain actually works -India’s role in the evolving “rest of the world” supply chain -Why chip independence is critical for long-term growth -The importance of OSAT, testing, and post-silicon validation -How India can compete through cost-effective, scalable solutions -The role of compound semiconductors like GaN and SiC -Why bold, long-term capital investment is essential Key Themes Covered: This conversation goes beyond headlines to explore real-world semiconductor strategy, including manufacturing challenges, talent gaps, global competition, and India’s opportunity to become a stable and trusted technology partner. Rather than focusing on hype, this episode highlights what it will actually take to build a sustainable semiconductor ecosystem in India.
