What Mirafra Technologies does

Mirafra Technologies is a Bangalore-headquartered semiconductor design and embedded software services company founded in 2004 by PV Shyam Sunder Rao and Alok Kuchlous, both former Synopsys verification group leaders. The company provides end-to-end capabilities spanning architecture-to-silicon chip design (RTL design, design verification, DFT, physical design, synthesis and STA, silicon validation, signoff, IC packaging, FPGA, prototyping and emulation, test and product engineering), embedded software (bare metal programming, board support packages, device drivers, OS porting, cyber security, ADAS, infotainment, BMS, MCAL, ISO 26262 functional safety), and digital software (AI/ML, analytics, big data, cloud, DevOps, mobility) across 25+ technology verticals, serving 50+ customers that include fabless semiconductor firms, automotive OEMs and Tier-1s, telecom equipment manufacturers, and BFSI/retail enterprises.

The company operates a professional services revenue model delivered through offshore development centers (ODCs) and on-site engineering placement, with senior management owning hunting and farming of Global In-house Captive (GIC) semiconductor customers and Fortune-500 technology accounts on mid-size to large ODC, KPI, and Turnkey deals. Mirafra has developed proprietary technology assets including ChipCraft (a Python-powered RTL2GDS CAD flow integrating Genus, Innovus, and Fusion Compiler with PPA recipes, validated on TSMC 22nm designs), the Ramanujan SoC platform (an end-to-end silicon demonstrator taped out at TSMC 22nm), and mBits (an open-source UVM-based Verification IP repository under MIT license). The firm is differentiated by a 2000+ engineer workforce, a dedicated training center at Manipal, exclusive EDA-vendor training partnerships, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 certifications, and 12 US patents in SERDES and mixed-signal circuit design.

Mirafra operates from 11 offices across India (Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Noida, Manipal, Chennai, Pune, Ahmedabad), the United States (Austin, TX), Germany (Munich, launched April 2025), Singapore, and Malaysia, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in the US, Germany, Malaysia, and Singapore. Notable customer relationships include Achronix, Infineon India, an undisclosed CPU market leader, an automotive client, and a networking/Smart NIC client. The leadership team combines co-founder Synopsys DNA with senior hires from Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Infineon, Bell Labs, Nokia, NXP, Motorola, Philips, Bosch, and Denso, providing credibility across the semiconductor and automotive value chains.
