The semiconductor industry has evolved dramatically since the 1990s. What guided engineers during the telecom and Internet boom no longer applies in today’s AI-driven world.

In this Quest Global Horizons episode, three industry veterans, Navin Bishnoi (Country Head, Marvell India), Sumedha Limaye (VP Semiconductor, Quest Global), and Sudipto Das (Delivery & Competency leader, Quest Global), share lessons from decades of navigating technology shifts and building teams that have shaped India’s semiconductor story.

The discussion challenges long-held assumptions about career growth and industry dynamics:

  • Should graduates choose startups or established firms for deeper learning?
  • Is deep specialization still valuable, or is the future about system-level thinkers?
  • Has India moved beyond design services to a full value chain that includes verification and manufacturing?

Beyond technical skills such as AI/ML integration and verification expertise, they reflect on what truly drives lasting careers: curiosity that asks why, teams built on trust, and the courage to take calculated risks.

As India positions itself as a global semiconductor hub, their insights offer a grounded roadmap for engineers shaping the next phase of this critical industry.
