Value proposition
Reduces verification cycle time and improves pre-silicon quality and security by providing a ready-to-deploy, Python-powered verification environment that lowers the barrier to entry for complex hardware testing.
Products and solutions
UpTickPro (Flagship SaaS Verification Platform), RISC-V Verification IPs (supporting RV32/64 architectures), Cloud-based Emulation Environments, RISC-V Software Stack Solutions
Unique value
Pioneered the 'RISC-V Ecosystem-as-a-Service' model, utilizing Python-based verification (CoCoTb) which allows software engineers to participate in hardware verification, traditionally a hardware-only domain.
Target customer
Semiconductor design houses, RISC-V IP providers, SoC developers, and academic research institutions.
Industries served
Semiconductors, Electronic Design Automation (EDA), Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (Edge AI)
Technology advantage
Leverages AI for automated test generation and coverage analysis, combined with a cloud-native architecture that eliminates the need for expensive on-premise EDA infrastructure.
How they differentiate
Utilizes a 'Software-Defined Hardware Verification' approach using Python-based CoCoTb and AI-driven automation, allowing software engineers to perform hardware verification without deep SystemVerilog expertise.
Main competitors
Imperas Software (Synopsys), Breker Verification Systems, Axiomise, Codasip
Key partnerships
IIT Madras (SHAKTI Processor Project), RISC-V International (CEO serves as Ambassador for India), IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation (Incubation & Funding), NIELIT Calicut (Technical Facilitation & Hackathons), SecurSi Technologies (Security Verification Solutions)
Notable customers
SHAKTI Processor Project (IIT Madras), SecurSi Technologies, AiNekko (nekko.ai / OpenHW Core-ET-Erbium), Lemurian Labs, Indian semiconductor major (UpTickPro-Aetheria, under NDA)
Major milestones
Successfully verified SHAKTI, India's first indigenous RISC-V processor, Founder Lavanya Jagadeeswaran appointed as RISC-V International Ambassador for India, Launched UpTickPro, an AI-powered cloud-native verification platform, Incubated at IITM Pravartak; received StartupTN TANSEED support, Commercial customers/partners including SecurSi, AiNekko, and Lemurian Labs (per company site)
Growth metrics
Incubated at IITM; transitioned from academic research (SHAKTI project) to a commercial SaaS model with the UpTickPro platform.
Market positioning
Early-stage deep-tech disruptor in the RISC-V Electronic Design Automation (EDA) space.
Geographic focus
India, North America, and Europe (Global RISC-V ecosystem)
Patents and IP
At least one published patent related to semiconductor verification methodologies (as per YNOS/CB Insights records).
