@RahulSanghi1 Let’s go for the Bombay screening. Use your pull to get me in

Everyone stop scrolling: there is a team of undergrads in IIT Bombay building a semiconductor fab.

Their goal is not to build commercially valuable products on day 1, but rather to build a culture of learning, growth, and innovation.

Engineers studying semiconductors don't get to even touch a wafer today until they are doing post-grad work or they join industry.

For a country that wants to be become self-reliant in the critical domain of semis, this is a travesty. We need our students to gain exposure and begin working with real tools and materials as soon as possible.

This is what HackerFab is doing. They built their own light source by repurposing a commercial projector. They made plasma and RF sputters for metal deposition. They sent first years into the Mumbai street markets to procure sheet metal and make their own tube furnace.

In the process, they learned so much about each individual tool and process in the supply chain. They even learned how to navigate the real world of vendors, suppliers, and logistics.

But most crucially - they set a standard. The entire team at HackerFab is full of energy, agency, and ambition. They trust each other to get shit done, and they all push themselves to learn more than they ever thought they could.

In just a few months, they can already produce chips with feature sizes of one micron. I have no doubt they will make better tools, processes, and transistors as they move forward.

The best part of this is that they have already inspired other colleges to take up the journey - they are sharing their learnings and techniques so that students and hobbyists around the country can begin working with semis. I'm sure it won't be long before the ethos and capabilities sparked by HackerFab spring up across the country.

This is they have my utmost respect, and they deserve support from the whole community.

If you ever want to have the most inspiring, white-pilling day - just visit HackerFab at IIT B!

Thank you @aryamman_bhatia, @shaashvats30, @jaibellare, and team @hackerfabindia!

The greatest influence on my career has been intellectual curiosity. The good things I achieved came about because I waded out into the proverbial ocean and drunk in everything that I could learn.

In particular, I loved learning about business, technology, and history. 🧵

@RahulSanghi1 what a gem youve found!
