WATCH: Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra Talks Technology Growth and Innovation at India AI Summit | AI1Z

Good morning. On behalf of Micron Technology, I want to say we are super excited to be here participating in this phenomenal AI summit. Micron is a semiconductor technology leader, leader in memory and storage. Memory and storage are critical to driving AI. As contextual processing becomes larger and as real-time demands on performance are placed on AI systems, they need more and more memory. I am very proud to say that Micron is the only company in the Western hemisphere that develops and manufactures memory and storage, and we have successive generations of leadership in DRAM technology as well as NAND technology. But I am also very proud today, later with this PACK SiLica initiative that will be signed here, bringing the technology collaboration closer between US and India. Micron since 2019 has had large presence here in India with R&D centers in Bangalore, in Hyderabad, employing nearly 4,000 employees today. What I am proud is that Micron has 60 patents worldwide, one of the most innovative companies, but also a manufacturing powerhouse. Some of our most advanced DRAM products are being designed right here in India in collaboration with our teams in the US. In fact, we have now in this short period since 2019, we now have 300 inventors with patent number of patents approaching nearly 2,000 that have been contributed by the innovative phenomenal team here in India. Very proud also of Micron's investment in bringing advanced packaging, assembly, and test technologies here to Sanand, Gujarat. In fact, Micron is making an investment of 2.75 billion dollars here in Gujarat. We will talk more about it in the fireside chat a little bit later. And those investments now are, it is going to be bringing a grand opening coming up soon where packaging and assembly will be done of advanced memory wafers produced worldwide. So, this is a pioneering project here in India. The size of this facility that has been built is 500,000 square feet. So imagine that clean room is the size of 10 cricket fields. This amount of steel that has been used in that is about three and a half times full tower. The amount of concrete that is used in that is size of 100 Olympic-sized swimming pools. This is the pioneering project of semiconductor manufacturing here in India, and Micron is proud to have partnered with the central government as well as the government in Gujarat bringing this project to Sanand. Modi ji's government has provided tremendous support and really a policy that encourages investment here in India. So without further ado, having shared some of the strengths of memory and storage in terms of driving AI infrastructure worldwide and in terms of Micron here in India in R&D as well as in manufacturing, I would now like to pass it back to our host here in continuing with the regularly scheduled program. Thank you very much.
