Hi
The Unstoppable Rise of RISC-V
RISC-V isn’t just another instruction set—it’s rewriting the rules of computing. With adoption by tech titans like NVIDIA, Intel, Google, and SiFive, RISC-V is projected to command 30% of the CPU market by 2030 (Semico Research). But here’s the
critical takeaway: RISC-V skills are no longer optional. Engineers who delay hands-on learning today risk obsolescence tomorrow.
Why This Moment Matters
Last week, the VSD RISC-V for High Schools Program achieved global recognition, featured on RISC-V International’s 15-year anniversary page alongside pioneers like Prof. Krste Asanović (SiFive), Amber
Huffman (RISE), and leaders from Infineon, ETH Zurich, and UC Berkeley. This milestone underscores a universal truth: RISC-V education is now a strategic imperative—for nations, corporations, and individuals.
The Deadline You Can’t Afford to Miss
The NASSCOM RISC-V MYTH Program - a gateway to mastering RISC-V - closes registrations in 24 hours. Here’s why this is your last chance to act:
1. RISC-V Skills = Career Insurance
- Salary Premiums: Early adopters command 25–40% higher salaries (LinkedIn Data).
- Geopolitical Momentum: India’s DIR-V initiative and China’s $140M RISC-V
investment signal a global shift.
- Industry Demand: Companies like Tenstorrent, Microchip, and Ventana prioritize RISC-V expertise.
2. What MYTH Delivers
- Build a RISC-V Core: From ISA design to tape-out-ready
verification.
- Industry Tools: Synopsys VCS, Verilator, and RISC-V toolchains used by SiFive and Google.
- DIR-V Alignment: Directly contribute to India’s semiconductor self-reliance mission.
3. Who Needs This?
- Engineers: Escape the “tutorial hell” of theoretical MOOCs.
- Students: Stand out in placements for RISC-V roles at Apple, Tesla, or
startups.
- Educators: Equip students with skills validated by NASSCOM and global leaders.
The Stakes Are Clear
By 2025, RISC-V will dominate AI accelerators, IoT devices, and automotive chips. Here’s what’s at risk if you delay:
- Missed Deadlines: Registration closes in 1 day. Enroll NOW.
- Career Stagnation: Without RISC-V expertise, you’ll compete for shrinking Arm/x86 roles.
- Lost Influence: Early adopters shape standards—laggards follow.
Act Now - Or Regret Later
This isn’t hype—it’s a career-defining crossroads.
If you aspire to:
- Lead RISC-V projects at Intel, Tenstorrent, or DIR-V-backed startups.
- Design chips powering AI, edge computing, or India’s tech sovereignty.
- Earn recognition in the next wave of semiconductor innovation.
Your final chance is here.
