India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) and Purdue University, US on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU), for cooperation in capacity building, R&D, and industry participation.

“India is the most cost-effective country. It is the only place with talent. So, the next big destination has to be India…India’s approach of developing comprehensive ecosystem is absolutely the right thing,” he said.
He added that the industry leaders in the US have also highly appreciated the actions taken so far in India – in terms of industry-friendly policies and regulations.
On his trip to the US, Vaishnaw also met Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google, and said he had a “good discussion on India Stack and Make in India.”
