Things are really changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still remember when most electronics graduates in India were either getting ready for government jobs or moving into IT jobs. Not many people talked about careers in semiconductors or chip design. But things have changed quickly today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chips power everything, from smartphones to electric cars to AI to the Internet of Things. And what about those chips?
