GG News Bureau
Noida, 23rd Jan. Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, and Jal Shakti, will be inaugurating Synopsys’ Chip Design Centre at DLF Tech Park in Noida today.
During this event, the Minister will deliver a special address to an audience consisting of senior leadership, employees, partners, and customer delegates of Synopsys.
Synopsys, established in 1986, has played a significant role in commercializing logic synthesis, which revolutionized the creation of digital designs from language descriptions. This capability has facilitated the transition of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) into the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) era, enabling the scaling of digital complexity in line with Moore’s Law.
Through substantial investments in research and development and approximately 120 strategic acquisitions, Synopsys has consistently expanded its product portfolio and market position. Today, Synopsys is a leading name in EDA, contributing to the advancement of digital chips within the technology ecosystem.
Synopsys offers a wide range of design portfolios, spanning from silicon to software, and generates $5.9 billion in revenue. As a market leader in EDA tools and Interface, Foundation, & Physical IPs, Synopsys holds a significant position in the industry. Recognizing the talent of Indian designers, Synopsys has established the second-largest design center in India, which goes beyond its headquarters. This center is home to approximately 6,000 engineers from India, accounting for 27% of their global design workforce.
India is known for its contribution to the global VLSI/Chip design industry, with 20% of designers being from India. The expansion of Synopsys in Noida, with 1650 engineers initially, showcases the growing ecosystem of fabless chip design and innovation in India.
Synopsys’ Indian engineers not only contribute to every aspect of the design cycle of semiconductor chips/IP Cores but also participate in the success stories of leading semiconductor companies. Almost all companies use EDA/IP solutions in some way when designing chips.
The nation is working towards fulfilling the vision set by Hon’ble Prime Minister Modi, which emphasizes the importance of “Design in India” alongside “Make in India.”
Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar is leading several initiatives to execute this vision, including SemiconIndia futureDESIGN, Digital India RISC-V (DIR-V) Program, and the India Semiconductor Research Center (ISRC).
