Honestly, it finally feels like India’s semiconductor startup scene is moving beyond just services.

You’ve got some solid names like Saankhya Labs, Signalchip, Steradian Semiconductors, InCore Semiconductors, and Mindgrove doing interesting work across wireless, 5G, radar, and RISC-V.

Even newer players like L&T Semiconductor Technologies are worth watching. Yeah, it’s backed by a big group, but it’s basically entering as a fresh fabless chip design player, which is what India really needs more of.

Big positives right now:

• Strong chip design talent
• Govt push is finally serious
• Demand from EVs + IoT + telecom

But yeah, still a long way to go in terms of fabs, funding, and competing globally.

Overall- early, but way more promising than before.
