India steps into 4th Industrial Revolution: What can happen

As the world steps firmly into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a new era shaped by technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing and the Internet of Things, semiconductors are no longer just enablers. They are the very foundation upon which this future is being built. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement at The Economic Times World Leaders Forum on Saturday that India’s first indigenously made chip will hit the market by the end of 2025, the country is finally aligning itself with the tectonic shifts in global manufacturing and technology. This milestone signals more than just the arrival of a chip. It represents India’s entry into the core of next-generation industries.
