For the very first time, India has built a chip that can be a Game Changer for the future as it can power up and be the brain for Rockets and Satellites. This will be foundation to reduce the dependency of other countries for getting the Silicon Chips. Meet Vikram, the revolution that could change how the World sees India’s tech power.
What is Vikram Semiconductor Chip?
It is fully indigenous 32-Bit RISC-V microprocessor, RISC stands for Reduced Instruction set Computers architecture which is power efficient. It is developed by Vikram Sarabhai Space Cenre (VSSC). The SCL Mohali is building the semi conductor.
The India’s revolutionary step is more exciting as this is being tested for Radiation and Space conditions. ISRO has invested a lot of efforts for this product.
Why it is a Big Deal
India spends Billions of Dollars in importing the chips. Major supplier remains Taiwan & China. This is First Step to Self-Reliance in Semi Conductors.
ISRO has specifically ensured that this could power Satellites and Defense equipments.
Opportunities for Indians
Not just for companies, it opens up a big pool of opportunities for employment. People skiiled in Chip designing, Packaging and testing will get magnificent career options.
If you are an Investor, keep a close eye on companies like CG Power, Kaynes Tech. They will surely get involved into this domain. Both the companies are actively working on Chip testing and have been revolutionary in validating the technology at competitive prices.
Not just established companies, this will give a push to establish startups to become active supplier or they can contribute to any of the supply chain needs.
Bharat 2047
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has supported in giving the necessary infrastructure and policies that is boosting India to be self reliant.If Chandrayaan made your proud, Vikram Chip will make you believe India Can lead the chip war too.
