Microchip Technology Inc. has expanded its India footprint with the acquisition of 1.72 lakh square feet (approximately 16,000 square meters) of office space in the Export Promotion Industrial Park (EPIP) Zone in Whitefield, Bengaluru, the company announced. The new site will function as a strategic extension of Microchip’s Bengaluru Development Center and is designed to accommodate more than 3,000 employees over the next decade. The facility will feature modern infrastructure, collaborative workspaces, and advanced laboratories aimed at accelerating integrated circuit (IC) design, research and development, and engineering operations for global programs. “At Microchip, growth is about creating opportunities as much as scaling operations,” said Srikanth Settikere, Vice President and Managing Director of Microchip’s India Development Center. “With India contributing nearly 20% of global semiconductor design talent, our new Bengaluru facility will sharpen our advanced IC design focus and strengthen our engagement in one of the country’s most dynamic technology hubs.” Steve Sanghi, President and CEO of Microchip Technology, framed the move as a milestone in the company’s long-term commitment to India. “We recently celebrated Microchip’s 25th anniversary in India, and this acquisition reaffirms our deep commitment to the region. India plays a vital role in the global semiconductor ecosystem, and our continued investments will help us leverage and contribute to this growing industry,” he said. The investment complements Microchip’s existing operations in Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and New Delhi, consolidating its presence across India’s major technology corridors. It aligns with the company’s mission to deliver semiconductor solutions spanning automotive, industrial automation, consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, communications, and computing. India has emerged as a rapidly expanding hub for electronics manufacturing and design, buoyed by global demand for semiconductors and supportive policy initiatives. Microchip’s Bengaluru expansion is intended to enhance collaboration, innovation, and time-to-market for its global customer base while tapping into a deep local talent pool.
