India must aim for strategic autonomy in IP/products in new unipolar world: EPIC Foundation

India should move urgently to secure strategic autonomy by building its own IP/products, and create a clear preference for Indian trusted chips for government purchases, in light of new geopolitics and an increasingly “unipolar world”, according to Ajai Chowdhry, Founder HCL and Chairman of EPIC Foundation. India has already made significant strides with the development of RISC-V chip technology at IIT-Madras, eliminating the need to pay license fees, he noted.
