India might see its first 'Made in India Chip' soon this year: Ashwini Vaishnaw

At the Dataquest Digital Leadership Conclave 2025, Minister of Railways, Information & Broadcasting, and Electronics & IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw, received the IT Person of the Year Award, for his contributions to India's digital growth and technology-driven transformation. In his acceptance speech, he reflected on India's journey in the technology sector, emphasizing the country's growing role in semiconductor manufacturing and artificial intelligence.

A VISION FOR A TECHNOLOGICAL FUTURE

Expressing his gratitude for the recognition, Vaishnaw acknowledged the transformative changes India has undergone since 2014. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for providing the necessary confidence, resources, and direction to build homegrown technology solutions that will not only address current challenges but also lay the foundation for future advancements.

“Technology must not just be a service provider to the world. We must develop our own technologies and products, positioning India among the world’s top five technology nations,” he stated.
