India, with its significant presence in the world of chip designers, is now making strides to establish itself in the global semiconductor market. The Indian government has started investing in this sector, seizing the opportunity as companies worldwide seek alternatives to China through a “China-plus-one” strategy.

BigEndian Semiconductors, a Bengaluru-based fabless design startup, is at the forefront of this shift, focusing on developing surveillance chips for cameras. Led by CEO Sunil Kumar, a seasoned executive with experience at ARM Broadcom, Intel, and other prominent chipmakers, BigEndian aims to tap into the growing demand for semiconductor solutions in India.

The founding team of BigEndian, with a combined experience of 25 years, recognized the potential in the domestic market, where around 50 million cameras are consumed annually, amounting to billions of dollars. This, coupled with government incentives and the global push for alternatives to Chinese products, motivated the team to establish the startup.

India has allocated a budget of $9 billion to boost local semiconductor and display manufacturing companies. The government has approved four semiconductor units in the country, with an estimated investment of $17.9 billion, geared towards producing a significant number of chips daily for various applications.

BigEndian, in collaboration with Taiwanese fab company UMC, plans to introduce surveillance chips based on a 28nm node process in the first quarter of 2025. The startup also aims to expand its presence in the IoT market, focusing on 16- and 32-bit microcontrollers.

Unlike traditional fabless semiconductor companies, BigEndian is working on a platform-as-a-service model to provide customized solutions for surveillance cameras, reducing reliance on Chinese middleware access. This approach allows the startup to offer software solutions as add-ons on a subscription basis, enhancing revenue streams.

Despite facing funding challenges in India, BigEndian successfully raised $3 million in an all-equity seed round led by Vertex Ventures SEA and India. Strategic investors, including Amazon Web Services, also participated in the funding round, paving the way for future growth and scalability.

Looking ahead, BigEndian aims to expand beyond the Indian market, positioning itself as a key player in the global semiconductor industry. By focusing on middle to lower-end cameras initially, the startup plans to establish its presence and gradually move up the value chain, showcasing the capabilities of a silicon company from India.

In conclusion, BigEndian’s innovative approach, coupled with government support and strategic partnerships, reflects the growing potential of the Indian semiconductor industry on the global stage. With a strong foundation and a clear vision, the startup is poised to make a significant impact in the semiconductor market, showcasing India’s capabilities in chip design and manufacturing.
