Dr. M. J. Zarabi, Chairman of the Board
Dr. M.J. Zarabi Co-founder of Masamb Electronics Systems, pioneered VLSI design and fabrication effort in India. He has, in fact, been synonymous with the microelectronics activity in India for more than three decades. He was the chairman and Managing Director of India's premier integrated chip manufacturing and R&D company, Semiconductor Complex Ltd. (SCL) from June 1993 to August 2005. Prior to that, he was the Head of Research & Development and later Executive Director in-charge of both R&D and VLSI manufacturing operations of the company. He launched and successfully led a number of technologies and product development projects which has led to the development of an indigenous capability to meet India's strategic requirements in the vital area of microelectronics. As SCL's Chairman & Managing Director, Dr. Zarabi was responsible in building a modern VLSI fabrication facility in 1997. Under his stewardship, SCL also established the only Gallium Arsenide Enabling Technology Centre to design and manufacture Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs). With his distinguished academic background and industry experience, he is currently advising a few companies of repute and is also on the Boards of Directors of a few other companies that include state owned ECIL & CEL. He is also Honorary Advisor to India Semiconductor Association.
