Decoding India’s ambition to become an electronics manufacturing powerhouse

India’s burgeoning semiconductor and electronics manufacturing sector will need more than 63 lakh trained shop-floor workers, purchasing managers and engineers in the next 18 to 24 months, across varied roles in equipment service, integration and middleware departments.

Some of this demand will be fulfilled within the industry, as people move to greener pastures in search of better jobs and salaries. But most of the requirements will need to be fulfilled by freshers and college graduates.
