Addressing the gathering, Vaishnaw recalled the early days of India’s semiconductor journey. “Just a few years ago, we met for the first time to make a new beginning driven by our Prime Minister’s farsighted vision. We launched the India Semiconductor mission. In a short span of 3.5 years, we have the world looking at India with confidence. Today, the construction of five Semiconductor units is going on at a rapid pace. We just presented the first ‘made in India’ chip to PM Modi.”
