semiconductor design company Synopsys will help Tata Electronics ramp up designing of custom semiconductor products, help in factory automation, data analytics, computer-aided design and supply product design kits, and develop intellectual property for chip fabrication, chief executive Sassine Ghazi told ET.
Ghazi met Tata Electronics CEO Randhir Thakur and Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran in Mumbai. He also held talks with Ola Cabs chief Bhavish Aggarwal in Bengaluru.
“They (Tatas) are bringing the technology from a partner. We’re going to be working with them to tune it, bring it to their expectation of yield, power and performance and to bring their customers in,” he said.
Synopsys’ collaboration with the Tatas will be like its partnerships with Rapidus, TSMC, Intel, Samsung and GlobalFoundries, he said. Synopsys will also provide IP and design tools to Ola’s artificial intelligence startup, Krutrim, to develop an AI chip and a digital twin of the Indian company’s electronics systems, Ghazi said.
“We will be the on-ramp to help customers get to the fab because you can build the most beautiful, sophisticated manufacturing facility but if you don’t have enablement where you provide the IP, and how semiconductor companies design
