What happens when a conversation on India's semiconductor future becomes so engaging that one hour simply isn't enough? 😊
We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Ashok Mishra, CEO of Aritrak Technologies, on The Semiconductor Podcast.
From his remarkable journey across STMicroelectronics, Philips Semiconductors, Arm, Qualcomm, Intel, Jio Platforms, and now leading Aritrak Technologies, Ashok shared invaluable insights on:
🔹 🚀 26+ years of semiconductor experience
🔹 🏢 The Si2chip entrepreneurship and acquisition story
🔹 💼 Leadership lessons from corporate and startup life
🔹 🇮🇳 India's semiconductor growth story and future roadmap
🔹 📊 Strategic insights from his time at Jio Platforms
🔹 ⚡ India's biggest opportunities in design, packaging, testing, and manufacturing
The discussion was so insightful and thought-provoking that we had covered only the first 9 questions when an unexpected internet disruption brought the session to a halt.
The good news? 🎉
We are planning a Part 2 (subject to Ashok's availability), where we'll continue the conversation on:
✅ Indigenous technology development
✅ AI and semiconductors
✅ Workforce development and skilling
✅ Eastern India's role in India's technology future
✅ Advice for entrepreneurs and young engineers
A huge thank you to Ashok Mishra for sharing his experiences so openly. Conversations like these are exactly why we started The Semiconductor Podcast—to bring together industry leaders who are shaping India's deep-tech future.
