American chip maker Micron’s announcement to set up an India plant gives the country a breakthrough it’s been seeking for four decades. Semiconductors power the modern world-automobiles to AI. Over the years, the tiny chips have become a strong geopolitical tool and a frontier for the deadly battle of superpowers US and China.

Host Anirban Chowdhury traces the semiconductor story across the years with Chris Miller, Author of the corporate bestseller Chip War, Pranab Dhal Samanta, Associate Executive Editor, ET and Shelley Singh, Senior Editor, ET Prime.
