siliconindia | | JUNE 20186EditorialSagaya ChristurajManaging Editoreditor@siliconindia.comThe Indian Diaspora today constitutes an important, and in some respects unique force in the US. India's Diaspora is touted as skilled and educated. The proportion of highly skilled Indian migrants has increased considerably over the past decade as the globalization of trade, capital, and labour has taken hold.The semiconductor industry in the US is one that has thrived due to the many Indians that have set up base in the space. The Semiconductor industry has traditionally been innately dependent on innovation. With the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT), the opportunity to move from off-the-shelf chip designs to custom silicon is becoming more apparent. The IoT revolution has not only increased the demand for semiconductor chips but has also shifted value capture to software and solutions. Capitalizing on this market opportunity, semiconductor companies should shift towards marketing, sales, application engineering and product development approaches and re-define their go-to-market and monetization strategies.Add to this digitalization taking over the supply chains in every industry. The shift is from a structured, linear system to an open, interconnected, often cloud-based system. To exploit the value that digitalization brings in, Indian decision makers in the semiconductor space should consider looking at emerging digital supply network technologies to solve age-old problems in the industry.Smart technology leaders with enough business sense are increasingly being elevated in companies. In this edition, we present to you the story of Sierra Circuits and the journey of the company, to the premium position it enjoys today along with insights from various ventures of Indian American Entrepreneurs.
