How are semiconductor companies managing their talent pool?
Four to five years back, employees were leaving companies for better opportunities in the US or Europe. That was the actual brain drain. This trend is no more there.

This is favorable for India to become a design hub. What are some challenges in achieving this? If something has been successful in the past, we do not change it in the present and the future: service model in India is very well suited.

The industry must capitalize on increasing expertise and not be limited to design services. Com
