C2i Semiconductors was founded in 2024. Two years on, Infineon, Germany's largest semiconductor company, has agreed to acquire it! @NavamCapital invested in C2i's Series A round alongside Yali Capital, @peakxvpartners and others. thehindubusinessline.com/inf… economictimes.indiatimes.com… C2i founders Ram Anant, Preetam Tadeparthy, Vikram Gakhar and B.S. Dattatreya went after a constraint that the AI build-out has made unavoidable: as accelerators draw more current and switch loads faster, the bottleneck migrates from the processor to the power delivered to it. C2i's solution is a software-defined voltage regulator platform: the Manas controller and the Sarayu smart power stage, architected, taped out and validated in Bengaluru. The received wisdom holds that India carries out only supporting work for the global semiconductor industry: verification, layout and physical design for architectures is done elsewhere. C2i has shown what is possible. The intellectual property was created here, and a global incumbent has acquired the company that developed it. IP-differentiated deep tech, built by top tier talent that chose to build in India, funded by patient risk capital at the point of maximum technical risk. Taking just two years from incorporation to acquisition by one of the world's leading power semiconductor firms is not good fortune - it speaks to the quality of work done by the C2i team! C2i Semiconductors is an early example of what is going to unfold - India will not merely assemble and test what others design. It will design what others buy. Every outcome of this kind grows the pool of founders willing to take a swing, and expands the pool of capital willing to fund them. Congratulations to C2i founders Ram Anant, Preetam Tadeparthy, Vikram Gakhar and B.S. Dattatreya, as well as the entire C2i team!
