BCG's Ankush Wadhera says India's growing electronics use, government incentives and shifting global chip supply chains are creating a strong chance to build a domestic chip ecosystem. ISM 1.0 began the momentum and ISM 2.0 widened incentives, pulling global and Indian firms in. AI demand for GPUs, compute and memory keeps rising. Business owners should watch local chip supplier opportunities.
