Kerala-based semiconductor startup Netrasemi has secured ₹107 crore in Series A funding led by Zoho and Unicorn India Ventures. The funds will help ramp up R&D and manufacturing and launch four AI-powered SoC chips built for edge devices like CCTV cameras, robotics, and smart infrastructure. Netrasemi, started in 2020, targets energy-efficient chips that run AI directly on devices—no cloud needed. Zoho is backing the vision with a rural R&D center in Kerala. With plans to double its team and enter edge server markets, Netrasemi is emerging as a key player in India’s deep-tech and semiconductor growth story.
