India is building chips. Now STM is building the TALENT — for India and rest of the world!
With new fabs, OSAT units and design centres coming up under the India Semiconductor Mission, the demand for skilled semiconductor and VLSI professionals is rising fast — in India and across partner nations like Japan and Taiwan. STM exists to close that talent gap.
