Our Story

Mindgrove began with a simple frustration. India has built devices, machines, and systems at every scale. But the core chip? Almost always imported.

In 2021, we decided to change that. From a small room in Chennai, we set out to design secure, production-grade chips and prove that world-class silicon could be built right here in India.

Mission

To build secure, scalable silicon platforms that Indian products can truly call their own.

VALUES

Our Culture is Built on

Collaboration

Collaboration drives innovation. We believe in regular and deliberate collaboration. We are better together, like a mangrove.

Product-focused Development

We are designing products that everyone needs, and developing them for scale with razor-sharp product-focus.

Software Driven Co-design

We use hardware to accelerate only those workloads which cannot be accelerated in software.

Growth

With a focus on continuous learning, experimentation, and constant feedback, we are always working towards growth.
