Hardware Industry & Economy - Human Resources Cadence sees lack of talent hitting semiconductor industry Growth of systems design work and the ability to ascend the value chain would be constrained due to lack of talent, says Mr Jaswinder S. Ahuja, Corporate Vice-President. V.Rishi Kumar Hyderabad, Jan. 9 India, it seems, has an advantage in the systems design part of the semiconductor value chain. However, its growth would depend on the ability to find talent, according to Mr Jaswinder S. Ahuja, Corporate Vice-President, Cadence Design Systems. Mr Ahuja, who is also part of the Indian Semiconductor Association and heads Cadence’s Indian operations, told Business Line that the growth of systems design work and the ability to ascend the value chain would be constrained due to lack of talent. There is already a demand–supply gap in the semiconductor industry and this is particularly evident in the small and medium sized companies, which do not have in-house training capability. On his visit to Hyderabad, Mr Ahuja said progress has been slow in the case of manufacturing though some initiatives are now underway. This has led to a greater thrust on design systems, which is facing shortage of employable talent. PartnershipsTherefore, Cadence and ISA are working on ways to partner institutions to expand the talent base. The overall number of engineering graduates is quite a misleading as a low percentage is employable. As a part of this drive, Cadence has initiated University and Finishing School programmes. These compliment the Special Manpower Development Project of the Ministry of Communication and Technology. Cadence has also partnered with Veda IIT, a trainer of embedded software and VLSI designs. Apart from offering post graduate courses and online education modules, Veda IIT is partnering with various engineering colleges both to train trainers and also engineering graduates.
