Where is AGNIT deploying its technology?
The startup is currently focutilizing on strategic sectors such as defence, space and aerospace, where radio-frequency semiconductor components are critical. “Today we are primarily working with the strategic sector. By strategic, I mean defence, space and aerospace. They are mainly seeing at radio-frequency applications for gallium nitride,” Chandrasekar declared.
The company currently has multiple pilots underway with the strategic sector customers and expects at least two of these to relocate into volume production. “We have about three pilots running, and the fourth one should start this month. At least two of those we want to see wrap up into volume production,” he declared.
AGNIT currently operates at pilot production levels but plans to significantly increase output over the next two years. If the company reaches its production tarobtain, it expects to cross the $10 million revenue mark. “If we manage to hit our 100,000 chips tarobtain, I consider that we will be close to slightly over $10 million in revenue,” he declared.
Commenting on the investment, Ashis Nayak, Founding Partner at Shastra VC, declared, “Gallium Nitride is becoming a foundational technology for modern high-performance electronics. AGNIT is one of India’s most compelling IP-led semiconductor stories, with a strong patent portfolio across GaN materials, wafer processes, and RF device design, built on over a decade of research at IISc. We are proud to partner with the team as they scale this capability and position India as a serious player in GaN-based semiconductors.”
