Sridhar Vembu's Zoho To Set Up Chip Factory In Tamil Nadu? | 'Now Is The Time', Says Zoho Founder

They can try some mature nodes first - 90nm, 65nm or maybe even 45nm. 28 nm might be too costly to get.

how can a enterprise software company venture into semiconductor manfacturing with no prior experience? Both industries are very different.

You need Uninterrupted Power and Water. While power is no issue. Can TN provide Water ?? Already so much strain on water resources of TN plus Occasional Shouting between Karnatak and TN over Kaveri. I dont think govt. will give approval. Hope they get it though.

Just 700 million? It must be R&D, cus Semiconductor fabs requires BILLIONS

Water scarcity is already at its peak in tamil nadu and semiconductor giant wants establish there company in TN this companies already know manufacturing semiconductors need alot of water if they establish de-salination plant in company than its fine otherwise this factory is not going to survive in long term I think both tata and zoho company's financial advisor are dumb
