Interestingly, despite being a member of the above-mentioned initiatives, India was not invited to the inaugural meeting of Pax Silica. Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, in his arrival speech, stated that India will soon be invited to join the Pax Silica. Moreover, India has been working to develop resilient semiconductor supply chains with other Pax Silica countries such as Japan and Singapore. India will be keen to ensure that its strategic autonomy is not diluted through its participation in the Pax Silica. As a developing country, India has relatively young semiconductor and AI ecosystems compared with those of other Pax Silica countries.
