India's Chips to Startups initiative aims to train 85,000 semiconductor engineers, with students from 315 academic institutions nationwide engaging in semiconductor design, fabrication, packaging, and testing. World-class EDA tools from Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens, and others are utilized for practical training, resulting in over 1.85 crore hours of usage.

The initiative, part of the India Semiconductor Mission, seeks to meet the growing demand for nearly 2 million skilled professionals as the semiconductor industry expands to USD 2 trillion. Plans to increase participating institutions from 315 to 500 will further enhance talent development and self-reliance in the semiconductor sector.
