November 2025 : Microchip Technology Inc., a global leader in smart, connected, and secure embedded control solutions, has significantly expanded its footprint in India with a new design and development facility in Bengaluru, solidifying its commitment to the nation’s growing semiconductor innovation journey.
The new facility, a strategic extension of Microchip’s existing Development Center, spans 1.72 lakh sq. ft. in Whitefield’s EPIP Zone. The site is designed for long-term growth, with plans to accommodate up to 3,000 employees over the next decade, establishing it as one of Microchip’s key global centers for advanced semiconductor research and product development.
The center will be instrumental in advancing cutting-edge IC design and embedded systems for global markets, supporting sectors including Automotive, Aerospace & Defense, Industrial, Communications, Consumer, and Data Infrastructure.
Steve Sanghi, President & CEO, Microchip Technology Inc., highlighted the company’s sustained belief in the region, noting, “We recently celebrated Microchip’s 25th anniversary in India, and this office acquisition is a testament to our commitment in India. We believe our investments in the region will enable us to both benefit from and contribute to the country’s increasingly important role in the global semiconductor industry.”
The expansion recognizes India's vital role in the global talent pool. Srikanth Settikere, VP & MD, Microchip Technology Inc. India Development Center, emphasized this connection, stating: “At Microchip, growth is about creating opportunities as much as scaling operations. With India contributing to nearly 20% of global semiconductor design talent, our new Bengaluru facility will sharpen our advanced IC design focus and strengthen our engagement in one of the country’s most dynamic technology hubs.”
As a long-standing member of the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA), Microchip's investment reinforces the industry body's vision for a globally competitive design ecosystem. Mr. Ashok Chandak, President, IESA & SEMI India, reaffirmed this, saying: “India’s semiconductor future will be powered by its design strength. IESA members like Microchip continue to demonstrate #Leadership, #Commitment, and long-term belief in India’s capability to innovate for global markets and support India electronics companies.”
