The enthusiasm around the Indian semiconductor industry is palpable! While the government and domestic manufacturers have already started demonstrating their commitment through investments and project announcements, global technology suppliers are joining the optimism.
Confirming this positive trend, Teradyne, a leading provider of automated test equipment and advanced robotics, has announced the opening of an office in India focused on supporting semiconductor manufacturing, located in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The new office formalises Teradyne’s growing presence in the country and underscores the company’s long-term commitment to India’s semiconductor and electronics manufacturing industry. As AI drives demand across the full semiconductor supply chain – from wafer to data centre – this announcement will certainly provide a boost to the segment.
“India is at an inflection point in its semiconductor journey and establishing a permanent office in Bengaluru reflects our long-term commitment to this market,” said Greg Smith, President and CEO of Teradyne. “As India accelerates investment in domestic fabrication, packaging, and test capabilities, we intend to be a trusted partner to our customers, our government partners, and the broader ecosystem every step of the way. Establishing a local presence will help us move at the speed this industry demands.”
Teradyne Bets Big on India
The Bengaluru office, located at Vesta Building, Bagmane Cosmos Tech Park, will serve as a local hub for customer engagement, applications support, training, and strategic partnerships, strengthening Teradyne’s ability to support India’s expanding base of chipmakers and electronics manufacturers as the country builds out high-volume manufacturing, packaging, and test capabilities.
The new office will support Teradyne’s broader India strategy, led by Alpa Sood, Country Manager, Teradyne, as the company deepens its presence across the country. The opening comes as India accelerates its semiconductor ambitions under the government’s India Semiconductor Mission, which is driving significant new investment in domestic fabrication and manufacturing infrastructure.
“Teradyne’s decision to establish a permanent office in India is a strong vote of confidence in India’s semiconductor growth story,” said Amitesh Kumar Sinha, chief executive officer of the India Semiconductor Mission, and additional secretary at the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. “As India scales its semiconductor fabrication, packaging, and test capabilities, the presence of a global leader such as Teradyne will further strengthen the semiconductor value chain and contribute to the development of a robust semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem in the country.
