What semiconductor companies, i.e. working in VLSI or embedded systems, or EDA (electronic design automation), or any other field related related to semiconductors have a non-trivial development presence in Pune?

Here is a running list list consolidated from everybody's answers. Keep adding answers, and I'll keep updating this list.

• Airtight Networks - Wireless network security products. Includes hardware.

• AMCC (Applied Micro Circuits Corporation) - (details needed)

• C-DAC does work in VLSI/embedded/EDA/semiconductor. See the webpage of their hardware technologies department for details. Not sure if their Pune center is also involved in this.

• eInfoChips - They are a design and verification services company, with focus on the latter. They established the Pune center to set up an ODC for Qlogic around 2004. Since then, they have expanded.

• Indra Networks - has a R&D centre in Pune for about 8 years. It is involved in developing FPGA based data compression cards used in backup servers.

• Ishnatek - VLSI front-end and back-end design

• KPIT Cummins - has both hardware as well as embedded systems

• LSI Logic - LSI’s presence in Pune came through the acquisition of Metta technologies, a multimedia SOC and software company. They do a lot of work on ASIC design and verification

• Marvell Semiconductor - A fabless semiconductor company doing networking & communications devices. The Pune dev center mainly does software, though

• Mindtree - Has a presence in Pune in Semiconductor - Hinjewadi. They took over a startup company last year. They do work in digital ASIC/SoC, Analog/Mixed Signal ICs and FPGAs.

• Nevis Networks - hardware based LAN security and Network Access Control

• NVidia - does a lot of work in Pune. Pune is likely to become one of their biggest dev centers in the coming years

• Patni - has a hardware division

• Persistent Systems - does embedded systems services

• QLogic - (details needed)

• Quartics technologies - (what do they do?)

• Sasken - Started its Pune center in 2004 to focus on VLSI design including Analog and Mixed-Signal designs.

• Silicon Machine - Development and training in DSP, speech, audio, image, video and embedded systems

• Softdel - Embedded systems services

• Tensilica - Tensilica’s Pune design center was set up in 2006. According to their news release, the Pune team is working on a number of projects, including next-generation integrated processors, software and system design automation tools, and advanced multimedia architecture/applications for cell phones, portable media and digital TV. It also works on the company’s TIE (Tensilica Instruction Extension) compiler for automated hardware and software generation from high-level processor description.

• Uniquify - VLSI front-end and back-end services

• Virage Logic - (details needed)

• Wipro - has some hardware work in Pune - not sure of exact details

• Wavelet has some projects in hardware

If you know any more companies, add them as a new answer, and someone will add it here. If you have additional info about the companies below, add that info as a comment, and someone will incorporate that info.
