In this discussion with Dr. David Oualaalou, I explain why India should focus on producing potato chips rather than semiconductors. For now, it imports 100% of its semiconductors—even those using the mature 180-nm technology of the 1990s—the very chips Modi recently held up for demagoguery.
Watch the full discussion below:
