Yesterday marked a significant milestone for me as one of the inaugural 50 employees at Micron Semiconductor Technology India, as I participated in the enlightening Micron Values Navigator Workshop. This workshop provided a firsthand immersion into the values and culture that distinguish Micron, elevating it beyond being just a great workplace to a company poised to lead the charge in semiconductor manufacturing in India. Throughout the session, influential leaders like Moorthy Murugaiah, Senior Director of Global Human Resources Operations, and Bhaskaran Ravi, Director of Module Operations, shared compelling anecdotes that resonated and sparked a transformative shift in mindset. Among my personal favorites were: 1. In a job, at the end of the month, one is paid to learn. On the other hand, in schools and universities, one pays to learn. 2. Your competition can and will overtake you in certain areas of competency, and you might overtake them, and this cycle continues. However, what cannot be replicated is culture. 3. Strive to reach excellence in your role and beyond at the organization, and the organization will take care of you. The workshop also facilitated personal interactions with leaders such as Gursharan Singh, Senior Vice President of Global Back-End Operations, who individually engaged with each pioneer hire to understand how Micron could enhance its efficiency in achieving its goals in India. Gursh further detailed Micron's pivotal role and plans to collaboratively shape the next generation of semiconductor professionals alongside higher education institutes in India. The amazing team of Asha Menon, People Development Leader, and Anthony Marsheal F., People Development Manager at Micron, seamlessly sustained the workshop's momentum and energy, contributing to an overall extraordinary and enriching experience. #MicronValues #MicronCulture #GoMicron

Grateful for an Inspiring Conversation with Sanjay Mehrotra Today, I had the privilege of connecting with Sanjay Mehrotra , the visionary leader at the helm of Micron Technology. Our conversation was truly enlightening, and I'm excited to share some key insights that left a lasting impact on me. I asked, What inspired him to start his journey in the memory Industry? What is that moment for which he feels whatever happened, happened for a reason? And his answer was, "Interesting question!! My visa got rejected three times when I was going for the first time to the US. After a lot of struggle, we got a chance to connect with the embassy. My father, who is my first mentor and manager, tried hard to convince them, and then at last we got a Visa, I hugged my Father, and then finally got into the University of California, Berkeley. And today, when I look back, it all looks like whatever happens happens for a reason. In my Final year, I was looking for Jobs, applying, and roaming here and there. My professor at Berkeley suggested to choose Memory design, and I started working, And the rest is History!!" This response was nothing short of brilliance and has given me a fresh perspective on the career path that I have chosen. As the leader of Micron Technology, Sanjay Mehrotra exemplifies a dedication to innovation, a relentless pursuit of excellence, and a genuine commitment to people. I'm truly inspired by his passion for the semiconductor industry, and it reaffirms my belief in the power of transformative leadership. What a Humble Person he is🙌 #Leadership #Innovation #Inspiration #CEOChat #Gratitude

Despite recent skepticism about TSMC's plan to set up a factory in #Germany in light of the country's budget crisis, the firm has stated that it has not aborted this project. Challenges facing the company include the high energy prices in Germany, cultural differences, disputes about German governmental subsidies, labor shortages, and strong union presence in Germany. #semiconductor #talent Addressing the human resource issues, TSMC has opened up internship opportunities to non-science majors in Taiwan. In fact, TSMC is proceeding with its German factory preparation, including appointing senior staff for deployment. #Supplychain sources also noted that they have not been notified of any cancellation of the expansion plan in Germany. #Semiconductor #Foundry https://lnkd.in/dAdkZUfT

Five years ago, I found myself at the threshold of a world entirely new to me—Micron Technology. This wasn't just a career shift but a leap into a universe far removed from the familiar terrains of entertainment and media, where I had spent much of my professional life. With a mix of excitement and a dash of trepidation, I stepped into the semiconductor realm, armed with nothing but a deep-seated passion for technology and a tapestry of experiences I hoped to weave into this new chapter.

The best, indeed, is yet to come. #MicronTechnology #Marketing #Gratitude #Innovation #Leadership

Intel Corporation has carved out India from the Asia-Pacific and made it a separate region. I predict more multinationals will follow suit and treat India as a separate region. Makes sense. 1. Big large economy 2. Consumption on the rise 3. Predictable business environment. What are your thoughts? #IndiaTech #EmergingMarket #GlobalTechLeader #SmartMove
