"India's embedded market continues to grow at a very fast rate; not only because of outsourcing, but because demand within its domestic market is flourishing. As India continues to move up the electronics design value-add chain, it's imperative that the U.S. maintains a relationship with our fellow embedded designers in India, and our goal is to continue to make ESC India the premier venue for these interactions and reciprocal learning to take place."
