We build the people
who build India's semiconductor.
The human capital infrastructure for India's semiconductor, EV, and solar manufacturing sectors - sourcing, training, certifying and sustaining the green-collar workforce that doesn't exist yet.

The Thesis · In one line
We are the human capital
infrastructure for India's
green-collar workforce.
Not a placement agency. Not a skilling NGO. The operating system between a plant's headcount plan and the workforce that doesn't yet exist.
The Opportunity
India's manufacturing ambition has a workforce problem.

What We Do
"We are not a placement agency. We are not a skilling NGO. We are the operating system between a plant's headcount plan and the talent that doesn't exist yet."
Full lifecycle ownership - from sourcing raw talent to sustaining placement for 12 months post-joining
Anchor-funded model - the manufacturer pays, the government subsidises, the worker pays zero - always
Sector-specific curriculum co-designed with the anchor, certified by NSDC and sector skill councils
Where We Are
Built in the open. In motion now.
In active dialogue with anchor manufacturers across the Dholera, Sanand, and Morigaon semiconductor clusters - the three geographies where India's first ATMP and fab capacity goes live.
Curriculum co-development underway with a national technical teacher-training institute - the layer that trains India's technical-education faculty.
Candidate assessment platform live today - a standard screening battery and a fully adaptive IRT/CAT engine, both built in-house and open to try on this site.
Defining the ATMP Technician Certification Standard - a stackable credential framework that does not yet exist in India.
Where We Operate
Four sectors. One platform. Semiconductor first.
A Note from the Founder
"We are not building a skilling company. We are building the human capital layer that every anchor manufacturer in India will need but no one has built yet. India is living a paradox - millions of educated youth searching for stable white-collar work while millions of private-sector and vocational roles on the shop floor go unfilled. Chip Forge exists to close that gap - to make India's industrial ambition and its human potential meet on the plant floor."
- Ankush Gupta, Founder & CEO, Chip Forge
