Under India Semiconductor Mission 2.0, Indian officials announced plans to develop an indigenous GPU chip in roughly 24 months. The poster mocks the timeline as guaranteed failure, calling it a ₹1,27,500 crore subsidy scheme for crony capitalists — more a jobs-program-style political project than a viable chip effort — quipping that 2047 (India's centenary goal) would have been the more believable deadline.
