“In India, we expect to grow significantly in the next few years,” says Youvraj Chandrakar, Country Head,  PMM Division, Infineon Technologies India 
Infineon Technologies provides innovative semiconductor solutions focusing on energy efficiency, mobility and security. Looking at the increasing opportunities in Indian market, Germany’s largest and Europe’s second largest semiconductor company, aims to increase its footprint in India. Youvraj Chandrakar, Country Head, Power Management and Multi-market (PMM) Division spoke to Subhajit Roy and highlighted the industry trends, company’s strength and future roadmap.    Being the Country Head of PMM Division for Infineon India, what is your perception on the opportunities for PMM business in India?PMM offers semiconductors for efficient power management and high-frequency applications. The components are used in e.g. lighting, servers, telecom systems, computers, consumer electronics, mobile devices and wireless infrastructures.
We optimise the efficiencies along the entire electrical energy supply chain: from generation, distribution to consumption. Chips of PMM set the benchmark in energy efficiency (saving power) and power density (saving space).
As India invests on modernising its infrastructures, improving the standard of living, the level of services and connectivity for its citizens, we expect the growth to drive the overall demand for electric powered devices, creating a huge and attractive market for home grown electronics industry. These are opportunities for PMM. As a market leader in power semiconductor for the past 9 years, with strong expertise in RF, and profound system understanding, we believe we are the partner of choice. Some examples of applications include LED drivers in lighting for higher efficiency and durability, microinverters in solar systems for lower system maintenance cost, power supply management in telecom equipment requiring less cooling, and RF Power for cellular infrastructures.
In the past 12 years what kind of growth you have witnessed?We started operations in June 1997 and since then have built a strong team. Over the past few years we have increased our PMM resources in India. We see India as a significant growth region where we have set up branch offices in Delhi, Pune and Chennai extending our reach from main office in Bengaluru.
Which is the most significant vertical for you?All the verticals are important to us. Energy efficiency, mobility and security are the three major challenges of urbanisation and mega-cities. Right now, our primary focus is SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) and lighting, renewable energy sector covering solar and wind power conversions. Key product families are our best in class CoolMOS and OptiMOS.
There are few players who are already established in the energy management segment. How different is Infineon when you compare your business with other energy management players?We have a broad range of products catering to a large segment. From digital control ICs, drivers and power discretes for voltage regulators, LED drivers, RF diodes and transistors, RF power, to chips for silicon microphones, TVS diodes, ASIC design solutions for authentication and battery management. Being a German company, superior quality of our products run in our DNA. We focus on application centric innovation.
