Axiro Ignites India’s Semiconductor Surge with High-Scale Chip Design Centre Launch
India’s semiconductor journey just gained strong momentum. On April 15, 2025, Axiro Semiconductor Pvt Ltd launched its cutting-edge fabless chip design centre in Whitefield, Bengaluru.
This strategic launch marks more than a new beginning—it signals India’s rise in the global semiconductor race. More importantly, it reflects a strong commitment to delivering customer-centric innovation at scale.
Focusing on Scale, Speed, and Innovation
Axiro isn’t starting small. It already ships millions of ICs each month to industry giants like Ericsson, Nokia, Hughes, and Siemens.
Instead of manufacturing chips, Axiro embraces the fabless model, focusing exclusively on design and IP creation. As a result, the company leverages global foundries for production. This approach ensures speed, cost efficiency, and uncompromising quality.
In addition, Axiro’s new Bengaluru centre is not just an office—it’s a fully equipped R&D and innovation powerhouse. It features advanced design labs, collaborative zones, and an expansion-ready infrastructure. Axiro plans to double its R&D team by 2026.
Most importantly, the company integrates sustainability into its operations. A well-structured ESG roadmap guides every step, ensuring long-term value for both customers and the planet.
Backed by Visionary Investment
Crucially, this ambitious project is backed by CG Power and Industrial Solutions Ltd, a part of the Murugappa Group. The group recently invested $36 million, reflecting its formal entry into semiconductor design.
With this investment, CG Power now leads from the front in India’s quest for semiconductor self-reliance. In turn, customers and partners can expect a stable, well-funded innovation engine that prioritizes CX excellence.
Leadership Voices Emphasize Customer and National Value
At the inauguration, key voices from the government and industry highlighted Axiro’s national and global relevance.
Mr. Sushil Pal, CEO of ISM, called Axiro “a milestone for India’s semiconductor mission.” He added, “It reflects the vision of self-reliance with global relevance.”
Moreover, Mr. Vellayan Subbiah, Chairman of CG Power and Cholamandalam, emphasized the importance of collaboration with academia and tech partners. He said, “Breakthrough innovations and a commitment to excellence will propel Axiro forward.”
His words are not mere vision—they highlight how Axiro plans to serve markets in AI, automotive, IoT, defence, and satcom. These are all sectors where customer expectations around performance and reliability are sky-high.
Building Seamless Experiences from the Chip Level
Customer experience in semiconductors begins at the core—the chip itself. From design to delivery, Axiro focuses on creating seamless digital interactions.
Its fabless model allows faster innovation cycles, cost-effective prototyping, and rapid scale-up. Each of these factors directly improves CX for Axiro’s clients—by delivering better chips, faster.
Furthermore, Axiro’s chip solutions are highly customizable. This helps OEMs and system integrators achieve product-market fit with precision.
When customers demand lower latency, higher bandwidth, or energy efficiency, Axiro adapts. When time-to-market matters, Axiro delivers.
This responsiveness builds trust and stickiness, two pillars of great customer experience in B2B tech markets.
Designed in India, Manufactured for the World
Although the chips are manufactured globally, their brains are built in India. This blend of global execution and local innovation ensures that Axiro delivers both quality and agility.
Moreover, by operating from India, Axiro can harness the deep pool of engineering talent. This translates into faster design iterations, cost-effective development, and 24/7 support for global clients.
Also, Axiro collaborates with academic institutions to nurture future semiconductor leaders. This ensures continuous capability growth, which is essential in an ever-evolving tech landscape.
Future-Ready Facility, Built for Growth
Axiro’s new centre in Whitefield, Bengaluru, reflects a forward-looking design philosophy. Every aspect—lab setup, power infrastructure, collaboration spaces—is optimized for rapid scaling and employee productivity.
What does this mean for customers? Faster project turnarounds. More accurate simulations. Enhanced QA cycles. In short, a tighter, smoother delivery process.
Additionally, Axiro embeds sustainability at every level. Its ESG roadmap includes energy-efficient systems, waste reduction, and carbon footprint minimization. This resonates with global clients who now demand green accountability from tech partners.
Why This Matters for India’s CX Ecosystem
India’s tech ecosystem is evolving rapidly. However, until now, it lacked large-scale, world-class semiconductor design houses.
Axiro changes that. It brings world-class chip design to Indian soil and blends it with global best practices.
For Indian OEMs, this means faster access to high-performance ICs. For global clients, it means access to cost-efficient, innovative chip solutions.
Ultimately, this enhances CX across the board—whether the end-user is using a 5G-enabled drone, a connected car, or a smart satellite system.
Powered by Murugappa Group Legacy
Being a part of the Murugappa Group gives Axiro unique advantages. The group brings 125 years of business wisdom, financial strength, and a reputation for operational discipline.
While Axiro functions as an agile, innovation-first venture, it also benefits from the credibility and trust associated with the Murugappa name.
This dual identity—start-up agility with enterprise-grade governance—offers reassurance to clients. Especially in semiconductor supply chains, this balance is critical for building long-term customer relationships.
Conclusion: A CX-Centric Semiconductor Future Begins
Axiro isn’t just building chips. It’s building confidence, speed, and value into every client engagement.
With strong funding, expert talent, and an innovation-friendly environment, it is set to transform how chips are designed, delivered, and experienced.
As the world demands faster, smaller, and smarter devices, Axiro stands ready. Its India-first, customer-focused approach is not only timely—it’s essential.
And with this launch, India takes one giant leap closer to becoming a global semiconductor powerhouse—with CX at its core.
