Enfabrica Launches R&amp;D Hub in Hyderabad to Boost AI Networking Innovation
Enfabrica Corporation, the California-based leading innovator in AI networking, has announced the opening of its India R&D centre in Hyderabad, strengthening its global presence and expanding AI infrastructure capabilities. This move underscores the company’s commitment to scaling silicon and software product development while leveraging India’s deep talent pool. The Hyderabad centre will focus on accelerating the delivery of Enfabrica’s cutting-edge Accelerated Compute Fabric SuperNIC (ACF-S) silicon and networking software, designed to enhance the efficiency and scalability of AI infrastructure for Generative AI (GenAI) training, inference, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications. The company aims to significantly expand its workforce in India, with plans to quadruple its headcount by the end of 2025. The company’s 3.2 Terabit/second ACF SuperNIC is engineered to be the fastest and most resilient GPU network interface controller, capable of supporting AI clusters ranging from 2,000 to over 100,000 GPUs. By optimising network design, the technology aims to enhance AI framework performance while reducing capital and operational expenses. “Computer technology has always advanced at the speed and capacity set by interconnect and scaling capabilities,” said Shrijeet Mukherjee, chief development officer at Enfabrica. “There is a tremendous opportunity for expansion in this market and Enfabrica is well positioned to help lead that evolution. We are proud to establish our very own hub in Hyderabad, leveraging the massive Indian talent pool to drive further innovation.” India’s Growing AI EcosystemIndia’s AI market is on track to reach $8 billion by 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate of over 40% from 2020 to 2025. The country’s digital infrastructure, combined with its diverse demographic and economic landscape, presents a strategic advantage for scaling AI applications. Backed by Strong InvestmentFounded in 2020 by Silicon Valley veterans Rochan Sankar and Shrijeet Mukherjee, alongside key engineers from Broadcom, Google, Cisco, AWS, and Intel, Enfabrica has rapidly emerged as a leader in AI networking. The company recently announced the general availability of its 3.2 Tbps ACF SuperNIC and secured a $115 million Series C funding round, bringing its total funding to $260 million. With strong investor backing, Enfabrica is poised for further growth and innovation in the AI infrastructure space.
