About Maieutic Semiconductor
Maieutic Semiconductor is a Bengaluru startup building a generative AI copilot for analog chip design. Analog circuits process continuous signals such as radio and sensor readings, and their design depends heavily on engineers' experience and manual iteration. Maieutic's tool uses a model trained on semiconductor design knowledge to automate early-stage design work and shorten design cycles. It was founded in 2025 by Gireesh Rajendran, Ashish Lachhwani, Rakesh Kumar and Krishna Sankar, some of whom earlier founded the radar chip company Steradian Semiconductors.
Maieutic Semiconductor was founded in 2025 and is based in Bengaluru, India. It is listed under Custom Silicon. Reported funding is $6M seed (UTEC, Endiya, Exfinity).

What Maieutic Semiconductor works on
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.
