Microchip Technology, a leading global semiconductor company known for enabling innovation through total system solutions, has expanded its India operations with the acquisition of 1.72 lakh square feet (16,000 square meters) of premium office space at the Export Promotion Industrial Park (EPIP) Zone in Whitefield, Bengaluru.
The new facility marks a major milestone in Microchip’s growth journey in India and reinforces its long-term commitment to strengthening engineering and design capabilities in the country.
Strategic Expansion to Power Innovation
The new Bengaluru office will serve as a strategic extension of Microchip’s existing Bengaluru Development Center, supporting the company’s global R&D and engineering operations.
Capable of accommodating over 3,000 employees over the next decade, the facility is designed to foster collaboration between global and regional teams, enabling faster innovation and seamless design integration across Microchip’s global network.
The site will feature state-of-the-art infrastructure dedicated to advanced IC design, verification, and product development, supporting Microchip’s mission to deliver intelligent, secure, and connected solutions for its customers worldwide.
Focus on Engineering Excellence
Commenting on the expansion, Srikanth Settikere, Vice President and Managing Director of Microchip’s India Development Center, said:
“At Microchip, growth is about creating opportunities as much as scaling operations. With India contributing nearly 20 percent of global semiconductor design talent, our new Bengaluru facility will sharpen our advanced IC design focus and strengthen our engagement in one of the country’s most dynamic technology hubs.”
A Testament to 25 Years of Growth in India
Steve Sanghi, President and CEO of Microchip Technology, noted that the company’s 25th anniversary in India marks an important milestone.
“This office acquisition is a testament to our commitment in India. We believe our investments in the region will enable us to both benefit from and contribute to the country’s increasingly important role in the global semiconductor industry.”
Strengthening India’s Semiconductor Ecosystem
Microchip’s new Bengaluru facility adds to its growing India footprint, which already includes centers in Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and New Delhi.
Through its expanded India presence, the company aims to:
- Drive semiconductor design innovation aligned with global product development goals.
- Support India’s growing semiconductor and electronics manufacturing ecosystem.
- Enhance collaboration between engineering, R&D, and operations teams across regions.
Conclusion
With this expansion, Microchip Technology continues to deepen its roots in India — positioning the country as a key engineering and R&D hub within its global network.
The new Bengaluru facility not only reflects Microchip’s strategic investment in India’s semiconductor talent and innovation capabilities but also reinforces India’s emergence as a global powerhouse in chip design and advanced electronics development.
