Qualcomm CEO: India is the New ‘Operating System’ of Global Electronics

Speaking from the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon delivered a clear message to the world: India has emerged as a global electronics manufacturing hub. As the “China + 1” strategy transitions from a theory to a reality, India’s semiconductor and smartphone assembly sectors are recording exponential growth. Amon noted that AI and IT are no longer just tools; they have become the “Operating System” of the modern economy, and India is at the heart of this hardware revolution.

For the logistics industry, this shift is redrawing the map. We are seeing a move away from the traditional dominance of East Asian ports toward a more balanced “Dual-Hub” model where Indian ports like Mundra and Nhava Sheva handle high volumes of high-value electronics. This requires a “Modern Canvas” of logistics that includes ultra-secure bonded warehousing, high-tech tracking, and specialized air-freight solutions to move components into factories and finished goods out to global markets in record time.Source: CXO TV – India Emerging as Global Electronics Manufacturing Hub
