India, Sept. 11 -- Preparing India's cybersecurity workforce for cloud, AI and quantum risks

India enters this phase with a formidable base. The country accounts for nearly 20% of the global semiconductor design workforce, while more than 1.5 million engineers graduate every year one of the largest technical talent pools in the world. Yet despite this depth in design, India's semiconductor manufacturing remains at a nascent stage, with dependency on imports for over 90% of domestic semiconductor needs. The real challenge is not quantity, it is preparation. A semiconductor ecosystem needs far more than VLSI designers. It needs technicians trained in cleanroom protocols and equipment handling, process engineers focused on yield and statist...
