Semiconductor Job Openings Down 15% in India in FY25
Imagine tiny blocks, like semiconductors, that help make electronics work.
Companies in India that design these blocks hired fewer people recently.
This is because of challenges in the world and changes in the market.
However, there's still demand for experts in areas like building very complex chips.
Smaller companies saw a decrease, but medium and large companies had growth.
India is working on making more of these blocks and training people, so things look good for the future.
Experts believe more jobs are coming in the industry.
Job openings in India's semiconductor sector decreased by 15% in FY24-25.
Decline based on data from 50 design-focused semiconductor GCCs.
Specific expertise in VLSI, embedded systems, and analogue design continues to be sought.
Mid-sized companies demonstrated greater adaptability in hiring practices.
The government has a plan for building a strong semiconductor ecosystem.
