About AGNIT Semiconductors
AGNIT Semiconductors describes itself as a fab-lite gallium nitride company, meaning it designs and develops the process but relies on partners for some manufacturing. Gallium nitride is a material that handles high power and high frequency better than silicon, which suits radio frequency parts for telecom and strategic uses. It sells GaN wafers, RF components and modules. Its headquarters is at the Innovation Centre at the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru.
AGNIT Semiconductors was founded in 2019 and is based in Bengaluru, India. It is listed under Analog Computing, Custom Silicon. Reported funding is $2.6M seed extension (March 2026, 3one4 Capital).

What AGNIT Semiconductors works on
Analog Computing
Analog computing represents numbers as continuous physical quantities, such as voltage or current, rather than as strings of 0s and 1s. The physics of the circuit does the calculation. For example, Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's current law let a grid of resistors multiply and add numbers at once.
Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
