Vision
To be the largest, most trusted premier industry body representing the semiconductor, electronics system design and manufacturing industry in India
The India Electronics and Semiconductor Association ( IESA) is spearheading India's semiconductor and electronics manufacturing industry growth by fostering local and global collaborations and partnerships, upskilling, and supporting startups, MSMEs, and academia.
Electronics manufacturing has become one of the highest-growth sectors, attracting global markets, and making India an unparalleled hub for sub-contract manufacturing. The objective of IESA is to grow the ESDM business segment in India and make India the preferred destination for electronics & semiconductor design & manufacturing.
We at IESA strive to promote innovative technology solutions that can positively impact the lives of citizens in India and across the world. This can be achieved only with a healthy dialogue between the Central & State Governments and the industry.
To be the largest, most trusted premier industry body representing the semiconductor, electronics system design and manufacturing industry in India
Establish ourselves as the primary destination for electronics and semiconductor design and manufacturing.
Serve as a reliable partner for policy development and incentives related to electronics and semiconductors, as well as facilitate investment promotion.
Facilitate collaboration between industry and academia to foster future skill development in electronics systems design and manufacturing (ESDM).
Promote the adoption of technology for business and societal improvement and encourage technology-based social innovation.
We prioritize merit and excellence in all our endeavors, striving to achieve the highest standards of quality and performance.
Our approach is pragmatic, ensuring that we focus on practical solutions that deliver tangible results.
We foster a culture of innovation, constantly exploring new ideas and technologies to drive progress and growth.
We build global partnerships based on integrity and trust, working collaboratively to achieve shared goals.
We embrace diversity and promote an inclusive environment that respects and values differences, fostering innovation and creativity.
Our goal is to foster the growth of the electronics and semiconductor industry in India and become the preferred destination for design and manufacturing in this field.
We aim to build trust and become a reliable partner in shaping electronics and semiconductor policies, as well as offering incentives to encourage investment in this field.
We strive to collaborate with academia to develop future skills in the electronics system design and manufacturing industry and bridge the gap between academic learning and practical applications in the industry.
Our aim is to facilitate the integration of technology to improve quality of life and enhance businesses. We also promote technology-based social innovation to benefit society.
We aim to collaborate with ESDM-related entities at the central and state levels to establish and support Labs and Incubation Centers across India. This initiative will provide fledgling startups with the necessary mentorship, equipment, market, and ecosystem access to enable success in product development and deployment.
Our goal is to collaborate with state governments to facilitate foreign direct investment (FDI) in the ESDM sector and foster its growth through the establishment of Brownfield and Greenfield clusters, Incubation Centers, and Skill development programs. Moreover, we aim to form international partnerships and alliances to enhance the ESDM ecosystem through innovation, knowledge sharing, and investment.
We intend to work alongside central and state government agencies such as MEITY and NITI Aayog to devise favorable policies that promote design-led manufacturing in India. Additionally, we aim to create Core Initiative Groups (CIGs) and Task Forces to address sector-specific challenges and ensure a conducive environment for doing business in the country.
20 Years of IESA: Shaping the Next Decade Together
Dear IESA Community,
As I assume the role of Chair, this moment marks both a milestone and a mandate. IESA completes 20 years of service to India’s electronics and semiconductor ecosystem—two decades of advocacy, alignment, and trust-building across industry, government, and academia. We now stand at a defining inflection point, building on the strong foundations of ISM 1.0, and shaping the direction, ambition, and execution of ISM 2.0—with an opportunity to set the course for the next decade of India’s technology and manufacturing journey.
Our focus going forward is clear: value creation at scale. This means advancing innovation-led growth across the full value chain—from IP, design, and products to manufacturing and supply chains—supported by enabling policies, globally competitive talent, and deep collaborations. India’s moment is no longer only about participation, but about leadership—where global and local partnerships converge to create resilient ecosystems, trusted supply chains, and differentiated capabilities serving both domestic and global markets.
The new Executive Council reflects this ambition. It is a diverse and balanced council, bringing together leaders across regions and geographies; design and manufacturing; startups and global companies; engineering, sales, strategy, and government relations; as well as a mix of new voices and experienced hands. This diversity is a strength—enabling fresh thinking, bold ideas, and stronger execution, while reinforcing a renewed emphasis on open communication, collaborative platforms, and collective ownership across the ecosystem.
Focus areas for the decade ahead
Chairman, IESA
