Semiconductor startup Vervesemi has secured $10 million in a Series A funding round led by investor Ashish Kacholia and Unicorn India Ventures.
The funding round saw participation from Roots Ventures, Caperize Fina, and MAIQ Growth Scheme.
The fundraise will enable the startup to accelerate commercialisation of its machine learning enhanced analog signals, expand the engineering and applications teams, strengthen research and development, and build market presence.
The Noida-based fabless semiconductor company was founded by Rakesh Malik and Pratap Narayan Singh in 2017, and focuses on analog signal chains and signal processing.
Vervesemi is among the first cohort approved under the Indian government's Design Linked Incentive (DLI) Scheme. It claims to hold a portfolio of over 140 IPs, 25 IC products, 10 patents, and 5 trade secrets. It is developing chips for space, defence, industrial and smart energy applications.
The startup is also supported under the Chips to Startup (C2S) programme, an initiative by the central government to found a self-reliant semiconductor ecosystem in India.
