Accelerating India’s RISC-V Chip Design Landscape

InCore Semiconductors, led by CEO G S Madhusudan, is driving India’s position as a hub for RISC-V chip design, aligning with global trends away from x86 architecture. Established in 2018 with support from Sequoia Capital India, InCore originates from the Shakti Microprocessor project at IIT Madras, aiming to innovate in commercial processor technologies.
Madhusudan highlights India’s significant contribution to global chip design, particularly in physical design, with major companies like Google relocating teams to India. InCore stands out for its high configurability, offering tailor-made and optimized cores through core generators, unlike competitors with limited core offerings.
The company’s market strategy initially targets local segments but has attracted international interest, especially from aerospace and automotive industries, securing notable design wins. InCore addresses challenges faced by Indian service companies by advocating for revenue models based on standardized solutions adaptable for multiple customers.
InCore prioritizes customer success by offering extensive support from chip design to application development and collaborating with multinational corporations for physical design and volume production.
