Analog & Chip Industry in india, Quality Concerns
India is witnessing an inflow of chip design from Multinatinals.
Existing companies have been increasing their staff strength in India,
while others are expanding in India.
This has resulted in a shortage of quality manpower & critical mass to
maintain.
Companies keep hiring from existing companies and this has impacted the
project execution in those companies who lost their staff.
The new design centre takes time to kick off & they just try to keep
the hired engrs without benifiting from them.
This has created shortage of manpower in Analog design. Many companies have
just one expereinced engineer.With skilled people divided among companies &
without critical mass in many companies,Indian Industry as a whole is suffering.
Corporates need to take a more wider & responsible view of the situation otherwise,
It would become more of a "trainee" industry where, trained people (1yr exp) keep on
doing job hopping & getting salary hikes without delivering projects anywhere.

Nice point,Pravi!!
In the past, very few Indian companies were willing to go deep into chip design, but this is changing. The drawback is the lack of large investment in certain areas, and the overall shortage of quality manpower. Another impediment is that many designers in India are not "systems savvy," and do not have the advantage of a strong customer base locally. These are not insurmountable challenges, but special effort is needed to close these gaps.
Thank you,Ganga
