| The Design Ecosystem - Coming of Age |
The semiconductor design has the greatest impact on the cost, manufacturability and systems level upgradeability / compatibility in the long term , and, is, therefore a very important part of the electronic hardware value chain. A well established semiconductor design ecosystem is vital for exploiting the full potential of the domestic market.
Over the years, an increasing number of global company’s have set up design operations in India. Besides, large Indian software companies have diversified into this domain and offer outsourced design services to overseas clients. The sector has also witnessed a number of start-ups and is making rapid strides. The size of the Indian semiconductor design market was USD US $4.6 billion in 2006 and is expected to reach USD US $ 43 billion in 2015.

Rapid spread of telecommunications has been recognized as an indicator of economic
prosperity. Telecommunications, worldwide, have assumed the status of a significant
infrastructure industry. The Indian telecom market is growing at a scorching pace, and, has
outpaced the Chinese market too in the mobile telecom services. In order to meet the
growing demand of urban mobile users and the aspirations of a large unconnected rural
population, a new dimension to the telecom growth has been added through the evolution
of wireless information networks.
India is up to date with the world in adaptation / use of the latest technology. The Indian
telecom companies are leveraging the knowledge of the local market dynamics and
application of the latest technology to expand their operations in overseas markets and go
global.
