Texas Instruments, India announced the conclusion of its fifth edition of the Women in Semiconductors and Hardware (WiSH) program.
TI India has reported a 33% increase in women joining its WiSH (Women in Semiconductors & Hardware) program, reflecting the growing interest of women in semiconductor engineering and hardware innovation. Through mentorship, hands-on learning, and industry exposure, the initiative is helping develop the next generation of diverse talent for India's rapidly expanding semiconductor ecosystem.
“At Texas Instruments, we believe early exposure to industry and mentorship can play an important role in shaping future engineers. While women account for 43% of STEM graduates in India, one of the highest rates globally, they continue to be underrepresented in technical roles,” said Arbab Kausar, HR director, Texas Instruments. “Over the past five years, the WiSH program has helped women engineering students gain practical skills in semiconductor and hardware engineering while building their technical capabilities. The significant increase in registrations this year is encouraging and reflects the growing interest in semiconductor careers among female engineering students across India.”
