Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Cristiano Amon, President and CEO of Qualcomm, reaffirming India’s commitment to advancing semiconductor manufacturing and artificial intelligence innovation. The meeting, announced by Modi’s office on Saturday, highlights Qualcomm’s growing engagement in India’s tech-driven growth strategy.
“Great to see Qualcomm’s commitment towards India’s semiconductor and AI missions,” Modi shared in a post on X, emphasizing collaboration in technology and digital transformation. The U.S.-based semiconductor giant has been expanding its footprint in India, partnering with the government and local firms to strengthen chip design and AI-driven solutions that align with India’s vision of technological self-reliance.
The meeting comes at a critical moment for Qualcomm. On Friday, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) announced an investigation into Qualcomm’s acquisition of Israeli chipmaker Autotalks. The probe aims to determine whether Qualcomm violated Chinese antitrust laws by failing to properly disclose key details of the deal.
Autotalks, a company specializing in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication technology, was acquired by Qualcomm to enhance its portfolio in automotive semiconductors—a rapidly growing sector driven by electric and autonomous vehicles. The investigation reflects increasing global regulatory scrutiny over cross-border mergers in the semiconductor industry, as nations seek to secure control over critical technologies.
Despite regulatory challenges, Qualcomm continues to strengthen ties with India’s tech ecosystem. Modi’s engagement with Qualcomm signals New Delhi’s focus on fostering partnerships that accelerate AI, 5G, and chip production capabilities, crucial for India’s digital economy.
The developments underscore India’s ambition to emerge as a global semiconductor hub while balancing geopolitical dynamics shaping the global tech landscape.
