About India Semiconductor Association (ISA)
 
ISA is the premier trade body representing the Indian Electronic System Design and Manufacturing ESDM industry and has represented it since 2005. It has around 140 members –both domestic and multinational enterprises. ISA is committed towards building global awareness for the Indian ESDM industry and supporting its growth through focused initiatives in developing the ecosystem. This is through publishing credible data, networking events and alliances with other international associations. ISA works closely with the Government as a knowledge partner on the sector, both at the federal (centre) and the state level. ISA has played a prominent role in supporting the Government of India in the formation of the Semiconductor Policy 2007. It has helped the Government of Karnataka in the formation of the State Semiconductor Policy 2010. www.isaonline.org
 
Mission
The primary objective of ISA is to act as a catalyst for the growth of the ESDM industry in India. Other objectives include:
  • Create global awareness for the Indian semiconductor and electronic systems industry outside of the generic “IT” umbrella
  • Create a win-win interaction among semiconductor and electronics product and services companies, government, academia, venture capitalists and industry bodies
  • Create an enabling ecosystem that catalyzes industry growth and leadership
  • Enhance operational efficiency
  • Foster active collaboration between industry and universities to further expand the available world-class semiconductor talent pool
  • Identify investment opportunities
  • Drive technology vision for the semiconductor and electronic systems industry
  • Promote trade and industry
 
Vision
ISA’s vision is to establish India as the preferred global hub for excellence in creation of semiconductor and electronic products through technology leadership.
 
Overview of activities
Over 2009-10, ISA has increased its scope to have a larger impact on and for the sector. ISA members include chip design, embedded software, systems design companies, the manufacturing ecosystem, and the Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) sector in the country.

There is a renewed focus on the Core Initiative Groups (CIGs) and the Special Interest Groups (SIGs). CIGs focus on market verticals to drive the business interests and growth of its members, especially start-ups and the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). SIGs work on the long-term growth and development of the sector.

ISA focuses on working with policy makers, creating networking platforms for industry interaction and showcase and publishing data of significance.
