India was late to the AI chip race. Could cameras and cars offer a way in?
India is developing a domestic semiconductor industry focused on edge AI chips for surveillance, automotive, and connected devices. Startups are moving from design to commercialization, supported by government initiatives to reduce reliance on foreign technology.
Why it matters
This shift represents India's attempt to secure a foothold in the global AI hardware supply chain and reduce dependence on US and Chinese chip imports.
In the second of a two-part series on India’s chipmaking ambitions, CNA looks at how homegrown startups are developing specialised AI chips for cameras, cars and other devices.
