Episode Details

India has become one of the world’s largest electronics manufacturers, powered by scale, assembly lines, and global contracts. But much of the design, components, and technology still sit elsewhere.

In this episode, we look at why the government is now backing electronics components, what India’s EMS firms built first, and what they postponed.

As India pushes deeper into the supply chain, the question shifts from volume to ownership. What does it take to move from assembling electronics to truly building them? Also, how did China get it right?

Tune in.
