◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building semiconductor design tools or chip design services in India, your addressable market just grew: 30,000 students are now learning on indigenous tools and process, and they'll need to solve real problems your startup can sell into. The government has given you the distribution channel; now you need to be the thing they buy when the PDK isn't enough.
