I'm surprised we haven't seen more investment from Indian firms. India is really trying to raise their game in the tech economy beyond the services industry. You don't need the most cutting-edge chip fabrication equipment to manufacture these processors.

The Indian government was actually a very early adopter, they had one of the first RISC-V processors that wasn't based on the vanilla Rocket designs, starting back in like 2016 or so. Unfortunately they made some other weird decisions, like not supporting compressed instructions so the chip wasn't compatible with any mainstream Linux distros, and I don't think the project really went anywhere. Although looking at Wikipedia the project seems to still exist.

Services industry is gonna be tough in the age of AI agents.

If by really trying you mean a bunch of PR stunts and diverted funds, sure.

Are you aware of any actual credible attempts?
