SIXA: platform to cross-connect various stakeholders & bolster global and emerging Indian Semiconductor Ecosystem

Problems / Opportunities

Shortage of entry-level, ready-to-contribute human resources

Specially now in AI driven multipolar world

Getting “Matched” for Internships / Jobs in semiconductors

Less optimal solutions for niche / local applications

(Inter) National alignment for developing semi. solutions in India

Huge barrier to entry for new semiconductor companies

Horizontalization is a MUST

Opportunity is to try a novel approach to tackle all these challenges:
