India wants a chip-design hub—without the founders who can make it happen
About this episode
India wants to design its own semiconductor chips. To help, the government launched a scheme with money and tools for startups that do exactly that.
But there's a catch — and it's keeping out the very people best placed to build this industry.

Tune in.
