"We already have chips that are actually designed completely end to end in India and we are shipping those globally," Savi Soin, president of Qualcomm India, told CNBC.
"We have a lot of engineers here doing end-to-end chip design."
An integral part of the semiconductor manufacturing process, chip design defines the requirements for the chip's architecture and system, as well as how individual circuits will be laid out on the chip.
Local media reported in January that Qualcomm is expanding its Chennai operations with a new design center focusing on wireless technology.
