Cyient's arm partners with Anora to boost semiconductor product development

Engineering and technology solutions company Cyient Ltd on Tuesday announced that its semiconductor arm, Cyient Semiconductors, has entered into a strategic partnership with U.S.-based semiconductor firm Anora LLC to offer end-to-end semiconductor product development services. The collaboration aims to support the full lifecycle of chip development — from architecture and design to silicon bring-up, qualification, and testing.

With its headquarters in Hyderabad, Cyient has a strong international presence catering to aerospace, defence, automotive, industrial, and semiconductor customers. Texas-based Anora is a design-for-test, post-silicon validation, production testing, PCB design, and automation company. It has implemented 2,800 projects for over 50 international customers.

As part of the partnership, the two companies will establish a semiconductor validation and production testing facility in Bengaluru, according to a stock exchange filing. The site will feature clean room infrastructure and equipment, including probers, engineering and production handlers, and automated test platforms to facilitate high-volume manufacturing. The Bengaluru facility is expected to complement Anora’s existing test centre in Texas.

“This partnership is about creating a complete solution for the semiconductor industry,” said Hari Chandran, co-founder and co-CEO of Anora. “By integrating Cyient’s design and silicon capabilities with our strengths in post-silicon validation and test, we can empower customers to move faster, reduce risk, and achieve production readiness with confidence.”

Suman Narayan, CEO of Cyient Semiconductors, added, “Semiconductor companies are looking for fewer hand-offs and more integrated partners. Our collaboration with Anora addresses exactly that need, offering customers a one-stop hub from concept to final silicon. By investing in world-class validation and test infrastructure in Bangalore, we are positioning India as a critical player in the global semiconductor ecosystem while supporting the vision of the India Semiconductor Mission.”

The development comes amid growing momentum in India’s semiconductor sector. Last week, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the country’s largest IT services firm, unveiled chiplet-based system engineering services aimed at expediting semiconductor innovation. The services are designed to assist companies in building faster, more efficient chips and democratise next-generation chip design.

India’s semiconductor market is projected to more than double from an estimated $45–50 billion in 2024–25 to $100–110 billion by 2030. The Union Cabinet has already approved the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) with a ₹76,000 crore outlay to promote fabrication, design, and manufacturing, underscoring the government’s ambition to position India as a global semiconductor hub.
