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 (AVP Engineering, 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.
