Mediatek’s expanding footprint in India is driven predominantly by the country’s robust talent pool rather than geopolitical considerations, according to David Ku, the company’s Co-COO and CFO. While the fabless semiconductor giant acknowledges challenges in developing chip manufacturing capabilities domestically, it continues to invest in software development and research in India. Ku underscored that geopolitical shifts, such as the US-China tariff dispute, have limited influence on their long-term strategy, which prioritizes talent acquisition.
