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).
