India's Electronics Sector Struggles with Significant Talent Gap
Indian Economic Updates : India's Electronics Sector Struggles with Significant Talent Gap
India's electronics manufacturing sector, growing at a robust 25-30% annually, is projected to create 12 million jobs by FY28 but faces a talent shortfall of 10 million trained professionals. Key gaps exist in fields like communication, consumer, industrial, and aerospace electronics, as well as manufacturing and design. The industry struggles with a lack of technical expertise in areas crucial for innovation, such as semiconductor processes, robotics, IoT, and green manufacturing. A misalignment between academic programs and industry needs exacerbates this issue, with educational systems lagging behind technological advancements. Bridging these gaps is essential for achieving the sector’s $500 billion manufacturing output target by 2030.
