Women are shaping the future of electronics and semiconductors.

A powerful conversation at #SEMICONIndia2026 on creating greater opportunities for women across the semiconductor value chain—from building talent and innovation to growing into leadership roles.

More women. More perspectives. More possibilities for the industry.

#Indiaspensable #SiliconToSystems

[SEMI India @SEMIIndia]

Leadership creates a pathway for the next generation.

At #SEMICONIndia2026, women leaders shared their experiences of building careers in the electronics and semiconductor industry—and the importance of encouraging more women to step into leadership roles.

The panel also highlighted the value of platforms like SEMICON India in bringing these conversations and experiences to the forefront.
