New Delhi [India], August 22:<\/b> It is not every day that India\u2019s push for technological sovereignty makes tangible strides. But on a humid Friday afternoon in Delhi, the country\u2019s semiconductor story turned a new page. The Government of India, under its ambitious Design Linked Incentive (DLI) Scheme, announced the sanction of 23 chip-design projects led by homegrown startups and MSMEs. And right in the spotlight stands <\/span>Vervesemi Microelectronics<\/b>, a fabless semiconductor firm from Bengaluru, now armed with a roadmap that could reshape the nation\u2019s semiconductor future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Government Push: Chips for Atmanirbhar Bharat<\/b><\/h3>\n

The DLI Scheme is more than a policy initiative; it is India\u2019s attempt to reduce its dependency on imported chips that power everything from energy meters to surveillance cameras. With 72 companies already gaining access to industry-grade Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, the playing field is finally being leveled for domestic talent.<\/span><\/p>\n

These sanctioned projects are not just symbolic gestures. They are strategic investments into areas such as microprocessor IPs, networking applications, and SoC solutions, all critical to India\u2019s digital backbone. In the middle of this action is Vervesemi, one of the first firms to secure approvals under both the <\/span>DLI Scheme<\/b> and the <\/span>Chips to Startup (C2S) program<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vervesemi\u2019s Rise: From Startup to Global Player<\/b><\/h3>\n

Founded in 2017, Vervesemi is no stranger to bold moves. As one of the first Indian companies to export semiconductor intellectual property (IP) globally, its portfolio today boasts over <\/span>110 IPs, 25 IC SKUs, 10 patents, and five trade secrets<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its proprietary machine learning-powered analog chain IPs already sit inside products made by leading global manufacturers. From space and defense to industrial automation and smart energy, the firm\u2019s designs are quietly shaping the future. Customers worldwide are currently evaluating its chips, signaling that \u201cDesigned-in-India\u201d no longer means second-best; it means world-class.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rakesh Malik, the company\u2019s Founder & CEO, puts it simply: <\/span>\u201cBy building high-performance, Made-in-India ICs for strategic and consumer markets, we are not only driving import substitution but also showcasing India\u2019s capability to lead on the global semiconductor stage.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Roadmap ICs: Where Innovation Meets Necessity<\/b><\/h3>\n

Vervesemi has set its sights on late 2026 and early 2027 for volume production of its new integrated circuits. The roadmap includes several groundbreaking designs:<\/span><\/p>\n
