India's large IT service and consultant HCL Technologies, recently announced the acquisition of $ 25 million in cash to acquire local simiconductor; this is one of the strategies of HCL expansion new market sectors. This transaction also shows it. India has more and more chip design companies to take their heads, and no longer just play the role of the multinational commissioner design center.
Since the 1980s, such as Ti, Intel and other semiconductor or EDA suppliers have set up overseas design centers in India; for these multinational companies, India is the aggregation of software development talents, which can have a lot of human resources. Support large development projects. Now there are many "alumni" from these design centers to start their own development. You can find a member of the former TI engineer or management in some new companies in India, and some people have rich. Entrepreneurial experience.
For example, the founder Vivek Pawar of Sankalp Semiconductor has more than 15 years of work data, which is the first person in charge of Rambus India, which is 15 years in Rambus INDIA. Patel has established North American base for Sankalp and has become the company's chief technology officer in 2013.
Early Indian chip new stars also have Cosmic Circuits, which was founded in 2005 in 2005; this company is a Sapler, an analog mixed signal IP supplier, was acquired by Cadence in May 2013 . CADENCE Director Chen Liwu (Lip-Bu TAN) was optimistic about the Indian market in 2011, indicating that India has a chance to born world-class chip industry. Interestingly, two of the founders of Cosmic have also joined Sankalp management team in the past two years.
In fact, Patel participated in an event in the US Silicon Valley in early 2018, it was once thought that India will have more acquisitions, and there will be more new companies in the Indian stock market IPO, such as 2017, success in India stocks. Optical Network System Developer Tejas Networks.
India's IC new company "family tree"
Cosmic jointly founding one of the Ganapathy Subramaniam, and later continued to serve as a partner in Chen Liwu's venture capital company, and focused on the Indian market; he dominated an investment case Aura Semiconductor, is a network application wireless IC, timing IC , The unstimetrial semiconductor company of the portable audio IC solution, founder is the former Silicon Labs engineer Srinath Sridharan and Kishore Ganti.
Subramaniam is also another headquartered chairman of Bangalore's freestalline circular semiconductor company CIREL SYSTEMS, which develops a mixed signal ASIC and standardized power management products, as well as the MEMS sensor front end IC.
There is also a "alumni" founded by TI announced this year, the company has become the first 4G / LTE and 5G NR modem chip in India, and published four Chip: 4G / LTE modem single-chip, 4x4 LTE transceiver chip, 2x2 LTE transceiver chip, 4G / LTE transceiver chip, and 2x2 transceiver chip support 5G NR standard. The RF of the Signalchip chip supports all LTE / 5G-NR bands up to 6GHz, and also supports the positioning function of Navic from India's own satellite navigation system.
Like a case of Cosmic founders from TI, only a "family tree" in the Indian chip design field; 2006 established software defined radio chip developer Saankhya labs, jointly founded PHILIPS SOFTWARE Genesis Microchip (already ST acquisition) and Synopsys and other companies.
Saankhya Labs recently announced that it is developing a Broadcast Office, which is a Broadcast Office, which supports the US TV operator Sinclair Broadcast Group; the company is developed to include a radio node and an end-to-end of the action terminal device. Network platform allows 4G and 5G network operators to remove OTT (over-the-TOP) to a live content traffic to a pair of Digital Ground Broadcasting (DTT) networks.
In January last year, there is an Ioale Network Design Service Company Einfochips, which is headquartered in Western India, Gujarat, India, is acquired by the passage of ARROW Electronics for $ 280 million; the company's founder and executive Pratul Shroff initially is an Intel microprocessor department. A logic design engineer, later worked for the US EDA DAISY Systems.
Provide Chip and Embedded System Design and Testing, Testolve Semiconductor, product engineering services, Trinity founders have served TI, NS, Motorola and Cirrus Logic, Engineers and other companies; TesSolve is acquired by Hero Electronix in 2016, etc. More than 1,500 engineers, customers include at least 8 of the top ten semiconductor companies in the world. Hero Electronix is a technology venture capital company, a motorcycle manufacturing lottery in India.
Indian semiconductor industry ecosystem finally forms?
What did these companies have represented? The Indian "alumni" of multinational companies from TI has created their own IC business in India. Is it possible like American Silicon Valley that year, because there are many new companies founded by the "alumni", which have worked for Fairchild, etc. Form a semiconductor industrial ecosystem, can then become the power of the leading global technology industry?
SAATEESH ANDRA, Director of Endiya Partners in India Sandesh Andra believes that Sino-US trade warfare is an opportunity to upgrade into chip design centers in India. Last year, Endiya has invested $ 1 million in Bangalore's new company Steradian Semiconductor. This company is founded by TI and Qualcomm's former employees. They have more than 50 patents in the technical field of GPS and LTE-A; Steradian claims have developed global Minimized 28 Ni Metal Millimeter Wave Image Radar (MMWAVE Image Radar), can achieve 4D imaging.
Although the Indian government has continued to achieve various support and incentive policies for the "Make In India), Andra said in an article submitted in Indian magazine. Now it is unprecedented. The semiconductor industry has developed a good opportunity, but lack of market competition fairness may become an obstacle.
Since 1993, the author has long observed the Indian electronics industry. Although India has always showed ambition, it still needs to turn from cultural attitude toward the actual investment of the chip ecosystem injection. In India's digital app, new companies have rich funds, but local electronic design new companies are still the poor relatives that are not favored by investors, although they are from multinational big places Successful case.
