Whatever happend to Subash Dehmukh? Last time we heard about him, POET Technologies said:

"POET’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), Dr. Subhash Deshmukh, resigned effective January 13, 2017 and will assume a new part-time role as special advisor to the CEO where he is expected to drive and lead special projects for the Company."

At least, when I googled, I did not find him working for any other company - what seams odd for a man with his CV!

"Most recently, Dr. Deshmukh has been Vice President of Emerging Technologies and Products at Applied Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMAT). Prior to rejoining Applied Materials, he served as Vice President and General Manager of the Plasma Products Business Unit as well as Vice President of Business Development for Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates Inc. (Nasdaq: VSEA). Varian Semiconductor was acquired by Applied Materials in November 2011. Before moving to Varian Semiconductor, Dr. Deshmukh served as General Manager of the Dielectric Etch Products Division of Applied Materials. He previously served in a number of executive and management positions with increasing responsibility at Applied Materials, Lam Research, and AMI Semiconductors. Dr. Deshmukh holds a PhD in Chemical Sciences, has authored and co-authored over 55 technical articles and has been granted over 27 patents, with several patents pending."

So my thoughts went wild: Could it be, that maybe, if POET bid for the Indian tender, Subash Deshmukh drives and leads this special project? And yes, we do not know, whether POET really bid for the Indian tender, but I just wanted to share this speculative thought with you. Have a nice sunday. One way or another, until the end of the month, we will hear whether POET and the Indian goverment will be working together.
