The next wave of Indian design may not look like design at all

On June 11, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw inaugurated an advanced quantum computing and AI lab at MNIT Jaipur. The Makers Lab will provide students with experiential and hands-on training opportunities in both software and hardware. This will include sensors, embedded systems, compute devices. Vaishnaw said that while the current technological wave is being led by AI, the next wave will be lead by quantum computing. News Source: Times of India Encouraging students, the minister said that there is a demand for over a million semiconductor design workforce. For most Indians, design is still what you see. A poster. A car. A shop window. The quieter shift is what design is becoming beneath those surfaces. A chip is designed before it is made. A quantum protocol is designed before it is used. The most important design happening in India over the next decade will increasingly be invisible. That is the point.
