Location: Taj Yeshwantpur, Bengaluru

KPMG in India is knowledge partner for this event.

This summit will bring trusted expertise in strategy, policy advisory, technology, and risk to support India’s electronics and semiconductor manufacturing ambitions.

With deep experience across government, industry, and global markets, KPMG in India contributes insights on strengthening value chains, enabling sustainable scale-up, building future-ready capabilities, and aligning India’s ecosystem with global standards.

Key discussion points:

Which sectors are driving semiconductor demand today, and which will dominate in the next five years

Is India better served by investing in advanced fabs now, or accelerating legacy fabs that meet EMS requirements faster

Can OSAT/ATMP facilities become India’s fastest entry point into the global semiconductor ecosystem

Should India continue scaling electronics box-build exports, or shift focus to building component-level depth

How should India strike the balance between electronics design capabilities and contract electronics manufacturing scale

What impact will the entry of global EMS & EDMS players have on Indian firms and local value addition

Can India set up a reliable raw material ecosystem for chemicals, solder, paints, gases, and substrates

How can India pursue sustainable growth in electronics and semiconductors given its energy, water, and infra constraints

How can India balance legacy nodes vs modern nodes while building its fab strategy

Are we adding enough SMT lines and high-speed machines to match global EMS hubs

What workforce models are needed to build electronics and semiconductor skills at scale

To become one of the leading global players in the semiconductor sector, India should focus on:
- building the entire ecosystem to scale,
- minimising dependency on imports for components,
- raising talent in design & hitech manufacturing operations, and
- enabling setting up of manufacturing clusters with the required infrastructure.
India’s electronics and semiconductor sector has gained real momentum over the past ten years. Electronics output has grown nearly six times, exports are rising steadily, and the sector continues to draw strong FDI. Ambitious national targets now look achievable. Government initiatives like PLIs for electronics manufacturing, component manufacturing, and design-led innovation have created a strong push across the entire value chain

Semiconductor lifecycle is notoriously measured in years and billions of dollars. If India is to secure a meaningful position in the global semiconductor value chain, the focus must shift from chasing multi‑decade benchmarks to compressing product‑level lifecycles and time‑to‑impact.

A winning playbook starts with a bold north star and a clear‑eyed assessment of gaps - limited system & architecture design depth, nascent FAB & OSAT capabilities, a thin equipment backbone, and fragmented infrastructure.

From there, success hinges on making deliberate where‑to‑play choices: end‑markets aligned to India’s demand momentum (AI infra, EVs, power electronics, renewables), focused material bets (Si vs. compound), pragmatic node strategies (28/40 nm), and a margin accretive product mix.

Execution will matter more than intent - anchored by home‑grown champions, world‑class talent, tightly integrated clusters, deep industry‑academia‑startup partnerships, and consistent, enabling policy.

In semiconductors, scale follows focus - and speed creates advantage
