Vedanta-Foxconn Semiconductors Limited (VFSL), a joint venture between
Foxconn and Vedanta Group, has appointed Mike Young as Senior Vice

In this role, Mike will oversee the seamless execution of
manufacturing and operational processes as VFSL looks at setting up a
state-of-the-art semiconductor fab in India.
"Mike Young brings
with him 34 years of extensive experience in front-end semiconductor
manufacturing across multiple geographies with significant contribution
to two high volume startups," said David Reed, CEO, VFSL.
"We

India is at the cusp of becoming a major semiconductor player," said Mike Young.
"I

Prior
to this, he served as CEO of X-FAB Sarawak, Malaysia. He has
extensively worked in areas of operations, yield, and device engineering
with global leaders like X-FAB UK, STMicroelectronics, Siemens, Atmel,
