MumbaiSemi aims to become a global supplier of high-quality RF chips
IIT Bombay spinout MumbaiSemi has developed a prototype chip that can process signals from satellite navigation systems, including NavIC, GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou.
India's satellite navigation system, NavIC, has spurred the development of an indigenous RF chip by MumbaiSemi, an IIT Bombay spinout. Found in late 2024, MumbaiSemi aims to supply high-quality RF chips to process NavIC and other global satellite navigation signals. The company’s flagship product, DhruvaPro, is a programmable RF chip that can function across various frequency bands, unlike traditional chips that work within specific bands.
Founded by Vijay Kanchetla and Rajesh Zele, the Mumbai-based startup has an 11-member team and has successfully undergone two silicon iterations. Unlike previous chips, DhruvaPro can be programmed to work with global navigation satellite systems such as GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou. The chip can also adapt to new frequency bands, allowing navigation systems to evolve without hardware replacements.
Kanchetla envisions MumbaiSemi making a significant impact on India's semiconductor ecosystem and become a global specialist in RF chips.
