Vijay shares an inside look into how electronics supply chains and manufacturing practices have evolved over his 35+ year career, the rise of EMS and ODM business models, and how the semiconductor industry is shifting in response to global pressures.

The discussion also explores best practices for building a culture of continuous improvement, balancing humans with automation, and adapting management approaches to local cultures.
