Celesta Capital着眼于投资印度半导体行业
“半导体对任何国家来说都是非常关键的产业。它处于当今地缘政治的中心舞台。风险资本家可能希望政府做出更多让步，以确保如果他们从美国带来资金，资金可以成倍增长，并能够带回他们的国家，”Celesta Capital的风险合伙人AJ Paulraj告诉ETTelecom。乐动娱乐招聘

Paulraj是Mimo技术他是前斯坦福大学教授，也是印度第五代领导人5G高级别论坛，成立于2017年。
“通常情况下，美国一直是风险资本的来源国，而它们并没有适当地来到印度。印度要想成功，就应该吸引像Celesta这样可以在印度投资的风投公司，因为他们不仅能带来资金，还能带来很多行业知识。”
这家总部位于硅谷的风投公司在美国和以色列的深度科技领域进行了大量投资，并在印度的软件领域进行了一些投资，包括人工智能(人工智能)和生物技术领域。
“我们需要进入这一领域，因为半导体行业至关重要，而我们在过去50年里没有这样做过。除了资金限制外，我们还缺乏技能。”
这家风投公司表示，引入风投资金来支持无晶圆厂芯片设计领域的初创企业非常重要，因为该领域是高度资本密集型的，并可能允许向本土半导体公司提供一些种子资金。
塞莱斯塔，据他说，是热衷于扩大帮助半导体行业在制造和设计方面，通过支持创业公司。
2021年12月，以总理纳伦德拉·莫迪为首的内阁批准了一项耗资7600亿卢比的半导体政策。
Rajeev Chandrasekhar:政府将很快推出未来实验室，为半导体和深度技术发展输送研发资金
印度将很快启动未来实验室，为半导体和深度技术发展输送研发资金。他说，这些实验室将嵌入C-DAC，并将鼓励行业和学术界的合作，他强调，科技公司、初创企业和政府将成为合作伙伴，推动印度成为半导体国家和电子全球价值链的主要参与者。
该中心根据自力更生的印度计划通知了印度半导体代表团，其中包括建立半导体工厂的计划，与设计相关的激励措施，以及在该国建立显示器工厂，以使印度在全球电子价值链中占据一席之地。
政府旨在通过为早期初创公司提供电子设计自动化(EDA)工具、代工服务和其他相关机制的支持，实现印度半导体设计行业的成倍增长。
Paulraj说，印度的半导体公司必须在全球取得成功，除了国内需求外，还要能够满足海外市场，才能长期生存。
“现在是时候了。印度应该加入美国、中国、台湾、日本、韩国、以色列和欧洲的精英俱乐部。”他补充说，半导体产业是全球最先进的技术产业之一。
根据印度电子和半导体协会(IESA)的数据，2021年至2026年，印度半导体市场可能会翻一番以上，达到640亿美元。
在中美关系紧张之后，全球芯片制造商倾向于改变供应链地点。中国在该领域占据主导地位，在1.5万亿美元的电子和半导体产业中占近70%。
台湾鸿海科技集团(Hon Hai Technology Group，又名富士康)和国内大宗商品集团韦丹塔集团(Vedanta Group)合作，将在古吉拉特邦(Gujarat)建设一座价值200亿美元的半导体制造工厂，可能于2025年投入运营。
早些时候，总部位于孟买的塔塔集团表示，将在其子公司塔塔电子私人有限公司(TEPL)下建立外包半导体组装和测试(OSAT)。

<\/figure>NEW DELHI: The US-based venture capital firm Celesta Capital<\/a> is looking to invest in the country's semiconductor sector backed by the India Semiconductor Mission<\/a>, following further policy-level concessions.\"Semiconductor is a very critical industry of any country. It is at the centre stage of geopolitics today. Venture capitalists may want some more concessions from the government which should ensure that if they bring money from the US, it can be multiplied, and able to take it back to their country,\" AJ Paulraj, venture partner at Celesta Capital told ETTelecom.
Paulraj, an inventor of Mimo technology<\/a> and a former Stanford University professor, also headed India's fifth generation or 5G high-level forum<\/a>, constituted in 2017.
<\/div><\/div>\"We will have to work with the government to figure out and try to remove some barriers, and make sure how they (VC firms) are successful,\" he said, adding that entering this industry is difficult from the people and capital point of view.
\"Typically the US has been a source of venture capital and they have not come to India properly. For India to be successful, it should attract VC companies like Celesta who can invest in India as they can not only bring money but also a lot of industry knowledge,\" Paulraj said.
The Silicon Valley-based VC firm has heavily invested within the US and Israel in deep tech and has a few investments in India's software including artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI) and biotechnology sectors.
\"We need to enter this segment since the semiconductor sector is critical, and we have not done it in the last 50 years. Besides capital constraints, we don't have skill sets,\" Paulraj added.
The VC firm said that it would be important to bring in venture money to support startups in the fabless chip design area since the sector is highly capital-intensive, and may allow some seed funding to homegrown semiconductor companies.
Celesta, according to him, is keen to extend help to the semiconductor industry<\/a> on both the manufacturing and design fronts by enabling startups.

In December 2021, the Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi cleared a semiconductor policy with an outlay of Rs 76,000 crores.
