Building India's Semiconductor Talent Pipeline!

As India accelerates its journey toward becoming a global semiconductor hub through the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), developing a highly skilled VLSI workforce is more important than ever. We are delighted to share that I²CS Research Lab-IIIT Kottayam, successfully conducted a two-day intensive hands-on workshop on ASIC Design Flow, equipping participants with practical industry-relevant skills. The workshop covered the complete RTL-to-GDSII design flow using leading industry EDA platforms: 🔹 Cadence EDA Tools 🔹 Synopsys EDA Tools Participants from various institutions across Kerala and Tamil Nadu actively engaged in the sessions, gaining valuable exposure to the end-to-end ASIC design process through hands-on exercises. A sincere appreciation to our expert resource persons for sharing their knowledge and experience: Dr. Lakshmi N S , Dr. Kala S and Johan Mathew John and the support of PhD scholars in I²CS Research Lab, Nitha M Biju -IIITK , Prasha Prakash , Sweety Kunjachan, Meagan Mathew . We are grateful to Chips to Start-up (C2S) Programme for supporting us with the EDA tools. At I²CS Research Lab we remain committed to bridging the gap between academia and industry by providing advanced semiconductor training that empowers the next generation of chip designers. Initiatives like these play a vital role in strengthening India's semiconductor ecosystem and realizing the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing.
