Embedded Industry in India
Embedded industry
in India
Phase- I
• Outsourced product development from India
• Purely cost advantage
• Project or contract based work execution
Phase - II
• Offshore development centers of major MNCs (ex: Intel, TI, HP etc…)
• Task level ownership
• Augmenting teams in the head-quarters
Phase – III
• Complete product development from India
• Domestic market needs
• Higher value added activities – product ownership, product launch, innovation, IP creation
Why Embedded?
Indian Tech industry’s paradigm shift
Embedded Systems is heart of product development
Rewarding career experience : Embedding Intelligence
Inside a Box
Skill shortage in India and the need for ‘Quality’
engineers
One among the top paid jobs in the industry today.
Industry and Academia gap
Emertxe’s objective is to bridge this gap by providing
high ‘Quality’ trainings in the area of Embedded
Systems.
Market size
About 6,80,000 embedded professionals requirement*
Mainly for embedded software (firmware)
Global R & D opportunity is $89 billion*
India can contribute $15 billion in terms of R & D*
Apart from R & D, opportunity exists in manufacturing,
local market consumption and India specific solutions
Myth of “only for ECE / EEE people”
Both local & global opportunities

Training philosophy
Crux of coaching
“Any life can be damaged by the wrong words from the right person’s lips. Conversely, any life can be healed by the right words from the right person’s lips. Each of our lives has been touched by the presence of one individual who made a tremendous difference. That individual may have trusted in you when others doubted, backed you when others backed away, saw deeper into your soul than you ever imagined possible. That person provided a kind word at a critical moment, an encouraging smile, or an arm around the shoulder”
Emertxe training methodology believes and implements “coaching”
approach, by building in skill and confidence in individuals.
Learning by doing
“Learning is far more efficient when the
person is encouraged to develop solutions
with their own-hands. With this approach
individuals will go through “do-reflect-
generalize-apply” cycle thereby able to
meet industry expectations. Applying
learning to practical problems is key to
building technology businesses”
Emertxe trainings lay very high stress on hands-on, practical methodology
for getting prepared for industry. By taking this problem solving approach
learning is more engaged and effective.

Delivery structure*
Classroom
(9:30 – 11:30)
•Work-book
•Slide-deck
•Understand concepts well
• Industry usage
•Scenario understanding
Hands-on
(11:30 – 1:00)
•Template programs
•High support from mentor
•Apply concepts
•Create working programs
Assignments
(2:00 – 4:00)
•Specific problem provided
•Find out solution on your own
•Minimal support from mentor
•Used for assessments
Logistics: Library facility e-learning (in progress) e-books (given as CD, will go online soon) Online test platform (for ample amount of practice tests) Corporate head office (MG Road), Extended delivery center (Jayamahal)
* Timings are indicative, will change between batches. However overall structure of sessions will remain the same.
Delivery structure
Delivery structure is created with clear goals & objectives for each
session
Some minor modifications (ex: hands-on, extra-classes) can be
done depending on module nature and schedule
Following the flow is very important for overall goals
Mentors are here to support, real work is expected from you
Assessment is continuous in nature, if the flow is missed it will
affect the result
Assessment system
Objectives
Continuously assessment
Holistic
Aligned with goal of becoming job ready
Continuous improvement
Do course corrections as necessary
Motivate, Inspire and Achieve
Components
