Who We Serve — Government

Accelerating
India's chip mission.

India has announced its semiconductor ambitions clearly — the India Semiconductor Mission, the Chips to Startup program, new fab incentives, and defence electronics self-reliance. All of it requires engineers who can actually design chips. VLSI EXPERT has been training those engineers since 2008 — well before the mission was announced — and works directly with CDAC, DRDO, SAC and DIAT to develop the human capital that India's chip ecosystem needs.

// chip analogy — clock distribution
"A clock tree distributes a single timing reference to every flip-flop in a design — ensuring every block operates in synchrony. India's semiconductor mission is the oscillator. VLSI EXPERT is part of the clock tree — taking that reference signal and distributing trained semiconductor engineers to every node that needs them, from defence labs to government skill programs to academic institutions."

Government Engagements

Active programs with India's
defence and government sector.

CDAC — Chips to Startup (C2S)
Training programs delivered under the Government of India's Chips to Startup (C2S) initiative, implemented through CDAC. Synopsys EDA tool-based VLSI design training for selected program candidates. Programs are customized to C2S requirements — curriculum, duration, assessment and certification aligned with program objectives. VLSI EXPERT brings both the technical curriculum and the Synopsys tool infrastructure to this engagement.

DIAT Pune — Guest Faculty
The Defence Institute of Advanced Technology, Pune is one of India's premier defence research and education institutions. Puneet Mittal — founder of VLSI EXPERT — serves as Guest Faculty at DIAT Pune, teaching Low Power Design as a formal academic subject. This is not a workshop or a one-day lecture. It is a semester course delivered to DIAT students as part of their curriculum. This relationship reflects the depth of VLSI EXPERT's engagement with India's defence semiconductor education ecosystem.

DRDO Delhi
Training collaboration with the Defence Research and Development Organisation, Delhi. VLSI EXPERT has delivered training programs for DRDO personnel in semiconductor design fundamentals and EDA tool usage. These engagements are designed around the specific needs of defence research engineers who work on electronic systems and require deeper exposure to the underlying chip design flows.

SAC Ahmedabad
The Space Applications Centre, ISRO's primary centre for spacecraft and satellite systems in Ahmedabad. Training and curriculum collaboration with SAC engineering teams. Space-grade electronics require the same fundamental semiconductor design skills — and VLSI EXPERT's programs translate directly to the needs of India's space electronics community.

What We Offer Government Programs

Customized for government requirements.

Government engagements have specific requirements that are different from corporate or academic programs — documentation, certification formats, batch structures, reporting, and sometimes security clearance considerations. VLSI EXPERT has delivered programs across this context and understands what is needed.

Synopsys Tool Access
As a Synopsys Workforce Development Partner, VLSI EXPERT brings individual 24/7 tool access to every participant — the same tools used in production semiconductor design worldwide.
Custom Curriculum Design
Programs are designed around the specific knowledge requirements of the institution — not a generic catalog course. We map your team's existing capability and design accordingly.
Certification & Documentation
Completion certificates issued under VLSI EXPERT, with Synopsys joint certification available for applicable programs. Documentation aligned with government program requirements.
On-Site Delivery
Programs can be delivered at your institution with our faculty traveling to the site — or at our centers in Noida, Mysuru or Bangalore, or online as live instructor-led sessions.
Scale Without Quality Loss
We have delivered programs ranging from 10-person specialized batches to larger scale skill development programs. Individual tool access is maintained regardless of batch size.
India-First Focus
VLSI EXPERT's mission aligns directly with India's semiconductor goals. We are not a foreign company delivering generic content — we are an Indian organization built for this market.
