“National Technology Day symbolizes India’s journey from scientific aspiration to technological leadership. From the landmark Pokhran-II tests to today’s rapidly expanding semiconductor and electronics ecosystem, India has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to build strategic capabilities with confidence and scale.
Over the last few years, India has made unprecedented progress across semiconductor design, innovation, and manufacturing. India today is not only a global hub for semiconductor design talent contributing to cutting-edge technologies worldwide, but is also rapidly building its domestic semiconductor manufacturing, OSAT, display, electronics manufacturing, and deep-tech innovation ecosystem. The momentum created through national missions, policy initiatives, startup innovation, global investments, and industry-academia collaboration is laying the foundation for India to emerge as a trusted global technology powerhouse, commented Ashok Chandak, President IESA.
The theme ‘Responsible Innovation for Inclusive Growth’ perfectly reflects India’s opportunity and responsibility in the coming decade. Semiconductor technology will become the foundational infrastructure powering every sector — from healthcare, agriculture, education, mobility, energy, telecommunications, and AI to strategic and secure digital infrastructure. The true measure of innovation will not only be technological advancement, but how effectively it improves lives, creates high-value jobs, enables digital inclusion, strengthens sustainability, and ensures equitable access to opportunity, Chandak Added.
India now has a historic opportunity to lead the next wave of responsible and inclusive technology transformation for the world. By combining trusted innovation, scalable manufacturing, design excellence, skilled talent, and democratic digital infrastructure, India can build a resilient, self-reliant, and globally competitive technology ecosystem that contributes meaningfully to both national development and global progress.”
