India electronics and semiconductor; Count down to take-off begins

There is one most heard comment made on India's lost opportunity in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, that is "we missed the bus". Where the bus is compared to the short window of opportunity. Compared to PC-era market, in today's electronics of everywhere and to everyone, the window of opportunity is India centric, due to its sheer size and growth. India becomes important differentiating factor for highly competitive electronics and semiconductor companies. Another trend is electronics manufacturing is getting commoditised faster. Taiwan, China, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines are all big names in electronics manufacturing. This time the opportunity-bus is still under India's control. So India suits well both for high tech manufacturing as well as commodity like factories. Since India cannot do all on its own in short span of time, it has to go for large-scale investors in infrastructure, testing ,and design and manufacturing. So India's offer to investors itself is a bus of opportunity for global leaders to beat their competition by entering Indian market. It applies even to India's big corporates.
