Our Mission

“Multiply the turnover 5x in next three year”

Since inception 3 years back, we have achieved building a stable, consistently growing start-up company crossing a revenue of 10 Cr. Now is the phase to accelerate growth. We plan to achieve this by means of well-planned organic growth and by inorganic growth as well.

Our Vision

“Simulate future with Innovation and be one step ahead of customer's expectations.”

Working “Smart Way” is the culture we wish to cultivate within the organisation and encourage applying innovation in anything & everything we do. In today’s scenario where complexity of the chip and the product being developed has scaled up in non-linear fashion, the cycle time however has not changed, but rather it has shortened. Therefore, there is strong need of creating innovative solution, and develop intuitive tools to meet challenges.

Our Goal

"Our Goal is to work relentlessly for success of our customer."

We would like own the implementation so that our Customer can focus on their next dream design. The practice we have been following is to quickly identify customer’s critical needs and put together the right team in shortest possible time. This is the “Mantra” of our success.

Our Leadership & People

We have achieved by building a world class engineering team with intensive knowledge in Chip Design, Embedded Software and Hardware.
