For decades, India has built world-class software products and earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading technology service hubs. Yet, behind this digital success story lies an uncomfortable reality. Much of the infrastructure powering the modern digital economy — servers, cloud architecture, and high-performance computing systems — has largely remained dependent on foreign…
Can India Build Global AI Chips—and Is the AI Boom Becoming a Bubble? India’s semiconductor ambitions are often discussed in terms of factories, investments and government incentives. But there is another side to the story. Factories manufacture chips. Intellectual property creates value. As India builds fabrication plants in Gujarat, assembly and testing facilities in Assam,…
Artificial Intelligence is often associated with coding, image generation, or futuristic robots. However, some of the most useful AI tools today are surprisingly practical. They help people write better, organize information, improve communication, and even create presentations without spending hours staring at a blank screen. This week, The Quantiq explores five AI tools that can…
From Dholera to Morigaon and Bhubaneswar: Building India’s Silicon Geography For decades, India participated in the global semiconductor industry primarily as a source of engineering talent. Indian engineers designed chips for global companies. They built software tools, managed research centres and powered innovation pipelines. Yet the physical infrastructure of the semiconductor economy largely existed elsewhere….
How NVIDIA, TSMC, and ASML Came to Control the World’s Most Strategic Industry Oil powered the twentieth century. Semiconductors are powering the twenty-first. Every AI model, smartphone, electric vehicle, fighter aircraft, satellite, data centre and industrial robot depends on tiny silicon chips that most people never see. Yet these chips have become so strategically important…
The personal computer has reinvented itself many times. From bulky desktop machines built for word processing and spreadsheets, PCs evolved into multimedia devices, gaming powerhouses, and gateways to the internet age. Yet for much of the last decade, the industry struggled to rediscover its original sense of excitement. Smartphones captured attention, cloud platforms absorbed workloads,…
The AI universe is moving at breathtaking speed. Yet, amid the daily excitement surrounding familiar names and viral tools, some remarkably capable platforms continue to operate quietly beneath the radar. These are not necessarily the loudest products in the AI ecosystem. But they are often among the most useful. This Sunday, The Quantiq looks beyond…
A country that depends heavily on imported chips cannot build a $5 trillion economy without strengthening its own semiconductor ecosystem. NITI Aayog’s new roadmap makes that argument clearly, and with unusual urgency. Data at a glance The import dependence challenge Every time an Indian smartphone powers on, a 5G tower begins operating, or an electric…
NASSCOM’s 2026 Strategic Review signals a structural turning point. Indian technology is no longer merely exporting manpower or billing hours. It is building platforms, embedding AI into enterprise systems, and emerging as one of the world’s most consequential digital economies. For Northeast India, the implications are profound — and the window to participate may be…
There was a time when studying Artificial Intelligence at a globally respected institution demanded more than curiosity. It required admission letters, expensive tuition and often the privilege of living close to the right campus or belonging to the right ecosystem. For millions of capable learners, those gates remained distant. But a quiet revolution is underway….
