India’s defence and technology sector is undergoing a major shift as the country focuses on self-reliance and homegrown innovation in critical sectors. With modern security increasingly shaped by software, embedded systems, and digital infrastructure, technological sovereignty has become as important as physical strength in safeguarding national interests.
In a recent episode of the Analytics Insight podcast, host Priya Dialani spoke with Sunil Kar, CEO of Logic Fruit Technologies, about this massive transformation. As India advances its Atma Nirbhar Bharat vision, the conversation explored how indigenous semiconductor and embedded system development can reduce dependence on foreign technologies while strengthening security and resilience. Priya highlighted that the discussion is no longer about whether India has the talent to build advanced systems, but how effectively homegrown innovation can shape the future of defence and strategic technology.
During the conversation, Sunil Kar shared insights into Logic Fruit Technologies, a 15-year-old India-based semiconductor company built by engineers for engineers.
The company specializes in developing indigenous embedded platforms and complex semiconductor solutions for defence and strategic industries. With a team of nearly 300 highly skilled engineers, Logic Fruit supports both Indian defence programs and global customers across sectors such as telecommunications, data centers, and aerospace.
Sunil Kar reflected on his three-decade-long journey in the semiconductor industry, beginning in 1992. After moving from India to the United States for higher studies, he pursued his career across multiple countries, including Japan.
He emphasized that semiconductors have evolved into a strategic necessity rather than a luxury. His vision for Logic Fruit focuses on strengthening India’s domestic capabilities while also positioning the company as a global technology partner.
The podcast also addressed the risks of relying on foreign technology for critical infrastructure. Sunil highlighted how indigenous embedded systems give nations complete control over security, upgrades, and customization.
He stressed that building technology within India reduces supply chain risks and strengthens long-term resilience.
The conversation concluded with an optimistic view of India’s future as a creator of advanced defence and semiconductor technologies.
With strong talent, focused policy support, and committed industry leadership, India is steadily moving toward technological sovereignty and global competitiveness.
