At FITT Forward 2025, Dr Nikhil Agarwal, Managing Director of FITT– Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, announced the launch of the Bharat Byte Program in proud partnership with Cadence CSR. Bharat Byte is a 2.5-year mission-driven incubation model to empower deep-tech startups in semiconductor innovation - providing them with mentorship, infrastructure, EDA tooling, business enablement, and funding support. Each year, two select startups will be incubated and guided towards commercialization. This announcement comes at a historic juncture - as Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently reaffirmed India’s semiconductor sovereignty, with the nation’s first ‘Made-in-India’ chips set to roll out by the end of 2025 and massive investments unlocking skilled jobs across states. 👉 Together, through Bharat Byte, we are not just supporting startups — we are investing in India’s technological self-reliance and global leadership in semiconductors.

🚀 BITSILICA Contribution to India’s C2S Milestone Under the Government of India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology Chip2Startup (C2S) program, Osmania University, CHAITANYA BHARATHI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, and BITSILICA have successfully developed and delivered two “Made in India” chips — C2S0005 and C2S0009. This marks a significant achievement in strengthening India’s academic capabilities in semiconductor design and nurturing future-ready talent. BITSILICA is proud to have contributed as the industry partner, enabling this success through technical guidance, design expertise, and close collaboration with both institutions. By bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world silicon development, this partnership reflects the true spirit of the C2S scheme. We extend our appreciation to Prof Chandra Sekhar Paidimarry, Principal of Osmania University, and Mohd Ziauddin Jahangir, Assistant Professor at CBIT, whose leadership and commitment were instrumental in this achievement. This milestone reinforces how industry–academia collaboration can accelerate India’s semiconductor journey. We remain grateful to Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi for his vision in making India a global semiconductor hub, and to the C2S program for creating a platform that empowers such partnerships. The Amrit Kaal of India’s semiconductor industry has begun, and BITSILICA is honored to play its role as an enabler in this transformative mission. #SemiconIndia #BITSILICA #MadeInIndia #C2S #ChipDesign #Semiconductor #AcademiaIndustryCollaboration
