Mindgrove Technologies Unveils Secure IoT, India&#8217;s First High-Performance SoC for IoT Devices
Mindgrove Technologies, a fabless semiconductor startup supported by Peak XV Partners, has unveiled India’s inaugural commercial high-performance SoC (system on chip) dubbed Secure IoT. The chip, based on RISC-V architecture, targets Indian Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) seeking cost-effective yet feature-rich solutions for IoT devices. Priced 30% lower than competitors, Secure IoT promises advanced functionalities without compromising performance. Designed to operate at 700 MHz, Secure IoT is a versatile microcontroller catering to a spectrum of connected devices—from wearables and smart city infrastructure to EV management systems. “Right-sizing has been the key differentiating factor when it comes to Mindgrove, giving it an edge over others, with enhanced flexibility, adaptability, security and cost-efficiency coupled with a robust support system.” said Shashwath TR, CEO and C0-Founder of Mindgrove Technologies. Apart from chip sales, Mindgrove extends design support to domestic brands, fostering innovation and local production scale-up. This initiative aligns with India’s goal of self-sufficiency and global competitiveness in the semiconductor domain. Shashwath forecasts a substantial market potential within India and anticipates global interest in Secure IoT. The chip has completed a successful MPW tape-out at the 28nm node, with reference boards slated for OEM evaluation shortly. Secure IoT boasts extensive I/O capabilities, hardware-accelerated security algorithms, secure boot features, and on-chip programmable memory. Its compatibility with bare-metal code or microcontroller RTOS opens avenues in diverse sectors like traffic management, autonomous vehicles, and medical devices.
