Tata Sons' N Chandrasekaran Backs Patient Capital For Chips, Says Long-Term Need Matters

Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran says India must take a long-term view of semiconductor manufacturing, arguing that the strategic importance of chips outweighs whether near-term targets are met. Speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum 2026 in New Delhi, he explains Tata Group’s investment approach, the need for global technology partnerships and the importance of balancing ambition with financial discipline. Chandrasekaran also discusses supply chain resilience, the risks posed by cyber attacks and geopolitical conflicts, and the impact of technology on jobs. Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Blackstone’s Jonathan Gray also share their views on a changing global order.
