India begins to design own AI chip. The tougher part comes next

Live Mint  

New Delhi: India has taken the first step to develop an AI chip from the ground-up to substitute Nvidia’s powerful processors, which have shaken up the global tech landscape and re-established the US's outsized dominance in the crucial sector. “We are decades behind the US firms on R&D—and semiconductors need billions of dollars of large-scale R&D to build a proprietary chip," said Jayanth Kolla, partner at technology consultancy firm Convergence Catalyst. “There is already a substantial amount of talent in chip design within India, and more engineers and researchers are being trained at TSMC, in partnership with some of India’s most premier educational institutes, to bring chip fabrication expertise to the country," the second official said. "India’s own chip infrastructure will look to soften the impact of this by creating a power-efficient computing chip that’s at par with the kind of processors required for cutting-edge AI development," the official said. Bid for better fabs A senior industry executive, who works closely with Meity and the India Semiconductor Mission, said the government is in talks with “key strategic partners" to bring “more sophisticated fabs" to India.
