What Silicon Interfaces does

Silicon Interfaces Private Limited is a privately-held India-based technology services and semiconductor IP firm headquartered in Mumbai with regional operations in Navi Mumbai, Campbell (California), and sales coverage in Europe and broader North America. The company operates two principal service lines: VLSI design services spanning front-end design, verification (SystemVerilog, UVM, Low Power, CDC, Portable Stimulus), analog, and backend physical IC layout for SoC, ASIC, FPGA, and IP customers; and software services covering cloud, web, mobile, SaaS, AI/ML, and Big Data implementations for technology and EDA customers. Under the Silicon Cores program, it licenses a portfolio of semiconductor IP cores and verification IP (PCIe 3.0, Infiniband, RapidIO, USB 2.0, I2C/I3C/SPI/SafeSPI, IEEE 1394, 802.11 a/b/g, Gigabit Ethernet, 8051) compatible with Synopsys VMM and Cadence Specman/OVM/URM methodologies, having joined the Synopsys Catalyst, Cadence OpenChoice, and Actel partner programs in 2003-2004.

The company monetizes through custom-priced contract and turnkey services (onsite, VPN-based, and offshore delivery), IP core licensing with FPGA netlist options priced lower than ASIC implementations, paid training through the Silicon Institute of Technology (SIT), and a portfolio of consumer/SMB-facing digital products (Esiliconworld e-commerce, RightTick CRM/scheduler, Greettreat greeting cards, Siixt.com B2B portal). More recently, it has added Agent B2Cie (Betsie), an AI-powered conversational agent built on third-party SLM/LLM models accessed via OpenRouter and deployed through Twilio across customer-service, sales, HR, and recruitment workflows. Notable past customers include Microsoft, Norwegian Space Center, Philips USA, Xaqti, Synopsys, Doskocil/Petmate, Vitacoco, Prosoft Technologies, Omni M2M, and MyRoadForward, spanning semiconductor, EDA, aerospace, retail, beverages, healthcare, IoT, and education verticals. The firm is self-funded, has no disclosed institutional capital, and has accumulated a portfolio of registered trademarks across its brand and product lines.
