Case study
Line Start-Up to Ramp-Up: Building the Core Team for a Newly Launched OSAT
Read the case study →The constraint
The next constraint in Indian semiconductors is not capital. It is people.
Plants are moving from approval to production. Each one needs technicians, equipment engineers, process and quality specialists who are productive on a live line — not candidates who have only sat through a classroom module.
How it works
Three engines. One ready workforce.
We mobilise experienced talent now, manufacture India's own workforce for scale, and deploy both onto your line with performance tracked.
Mobilise
Experienced OSAT, ATMP and fab talent from global semiconductor hubs, mobilised to India to start and stabilise your lines now, and to train your local teams on the floor.

Plant lifecycle
A workforce for every stage of the plant
From planning and tool install to volume production and upgrades, each stage needs a different workforce.
- Stage 1
Plan
Workforce diagnostic, role architecture, and a hiring and training roadmap tied to the ramp schedule.
- Stage 2
Construct & install
Mobilised installation and facilities specialists plus local technicians, deployed against the tool-in schedule.
- Stage 3
Ramp-up
A Line Start-Up Team of mobilised experts plus local hires, and Ramp-Up Cohorts certified Nirji Ready.
- Stage 4
Volume production
Managed workforce, backfill, shift supervision and Nirji Ready certification of new joiners.
- Stage 5
Sustain & upgrade
Upskilling for new packages and processes, retention tracking and workforce performance data.

Solutions
Four ways we build workforce capacity
The Nirji Standard
What makes a Nirji-built workforce different
OSAT / ATMP first
Starting where plants are live and roles repeat
Twelve priority roles cover the majority of hiring on an assembly, packaging and test floor.
Expansion
Where the workforce standard goes next
OSAT / ATMP
Fabs & manufacturing
Semiconductor design
Broader ecosystem
“Tell us what semiconductor industry you want to attract. We will help build the workforce ecosystem to support it.”For state governments
India's clusters
Where India's semiconductor workforce is needed
Manufacturing and packaging projects and design hubs across ten states, each with different role needs.
Give us one workforce problem. We will build the workforce solution.
Tell us your roles, volumes and ramp dates. We map the workforce your line needs and show how to mobilise, manufacture and deploy it.
