Cadence, a global leader in electronic system design, is celebrating 20 years in Pune as a core research and development hub. This milestone marks two decades of sustained investment and innovation in the region. Established in 2006 by Tensilica, now part of Cadence, this anniversary marks the company’s early belief in Pune’s technology and engineering ecosystem during a period when few multinational technology companies operated there.
Starting with a five-member team, Cadence now employs over 300 employees in Pune and continues to scale its talent base. The Pune center is a key part of the Silicon Solutions Group. Teams here develop highly complex digital signal processing (DSP) IP, AI accelerators, DDR, and mixed-signal IP for leading semiconductor and electronics companies worldwide. These technologies enable critical applications across consumer electronics, data centers, and automotive markets.
“As we celebrate 20 years in Pune, we take pride in the world-class IP teams here, who collaborate with our global teams to deliver products used by customers worldwide,” said Boyd Phelps, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Silicon Solutions Group at Cadence. “The continued growth of our Pune site emphasizes Cadence’s confidence in the region’s talent and our ongoing commitment to investing in people, capabilities, and infrastructure across India.”
As it enters its third decade in Pune, the company remains dedicated to advancing cutting-edge silicon IP and nurturing local talent. Cadence actively partners with MeitY, AICTE, IITs, and over 400 universities to build a strong chip-design talent pipeline. It also supports startups through initiatives like Chips to Startup (C2S). Through advanced EDA tools and India-led innovations in AI-driven and chiplet-based design, Cadence is helping advance India’s semiconductor mission while accelerating global innovation.
