IndieSemiC Unveils India’s First IoT Evolution Board at Semicon India 2025, Marking a Major Leap in Domestic Hardware Innovation

IndieSemiC, a Gujarat-based semiconductor start-up, has launched India’s first IoT Evolution Board at Semicon India 2025 in New Delhi, setting a new benchmark for homegrown electronics and self-reliant innovation. The launch, attended by Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister for Railways, Communications & Electronics & IT, was celebrated as a milestone in the nation’s drive towards technological sovereignty under the Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiatives.

A Breakthrough for India’s Hardware Ecosystem

The new board, developed in close collaboration with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), integrates the indigenous VEGA processor alongside dual wireless connectivity—Bluetooth and LoRa—designed in-house by IndieSemiC. This combination delivers a fully indigenous, deployment-ready platform to Indian engineers, students, and enterprises, offering a faster and more secure route from concept to market while reducing the nation’s reliance on imported hardware.

“India has long been a consumer of global hardware platforms, but with the IoT Evolution Board, we are flipping that narrative,” said Nikul Shah, Founder & CEO of IndieSemiC, emphasizing the product’s potential to democratize access to advanced technologies for innovators across the country. Jinal Shah, Co-Founder & CMO, added that this launch marks the beginning of an ecosystem where compute, connectivity, and intelligence converge on an indigenous platform—empowering startups, industries, and mission-critical sectors alike.

IoT Evolution Board: Features and Competitive Edge

Key Specifications:
– Processor: Homegrown VEGA processor (by C-DAC)
– Wireless Connectivity: Integrated Bluetooth and LoRa modules
– Form Factor: Compact, suitable for both prototyping and deployment
– Security: Enhanced features for secure, mission-critical applications
– Applications: Smart cities, industrial automation, healthcare, defence, aerospace

Unlike global alternatives that often rely on imported processors and add-on connectivity, the IndieSemiC IoT Evolution Board offers a uniquely Indian, vertically integrated solution. Its design ensures that both hardware and wireless modules are tailored for local needs, from urban smart infrastructure to secure defence systems.

Industry and Community Reception

The launch has sparked widespread excitement within India’s electronics and start-up ecosystem. Social media commentary and influencer posts from the event highlight national pride in the country’s growing capacity for advanced hardware design. Attendees at Semicon India 2025 described the unveiling as a “turning point” for the domestic semiconductor sector. Many believe it will inspire a new generation of engineers to build on homegrown platforms, further fueling India’s ambitions to become a global hardware innovation hub.

IndieSemiC, founded in 2023, already supports over 60 customers across IoT, automotive, and industrial sectors. Its move from certified RF modules to a full system-level platform is seen as a bridge between compute and connectivity, paving the way for more indigenous products in the pipeline—including AI-at-the-edge computing and RISC-V processors for industrial and defence use.

The Road Ahead: Towards a Vertically Integrated Ecosystem

With this launch, IndieSemiC signals its intent to build India’s first vertically integrated semiconductor ecosystem. The company’s roadmap includes advanced AI-enabled chips and next-generation processors, aiming to position India at the forefront of both domestic and global hardware innovation.
