Mangaluru, May 29, 2026: The Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering at Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management (SCEM), Mangaluru, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Anmaya Technologies, a deep-tech company specialising in FPGA-native and embedded hardware solutions, to strengthen semiconductor-focused technical education and industry collaboration.
The MoU was signed in the presence of SCEM Principal Dr S S Injaganeri, Head of the Department of ECE Dr Anush Bekal, Anmaya Technologies CEO and Founder N J Hariprasad, faculty members and members of the Department Advisory Committee.
The collaboration comes at a time when India is expanding its semiconductor and electronics ecosystem under the national semiconductor mission. With the global semiconductor industry projected to surpass $600 billion, the partnership aims to equip students with industry-oriented skills and prepare them for opportunities in the global semiconductor sector.
As part of the collaboration, students will receive exposure to semiconductor technologies, VLSI design, embedded systems, FPGA development, AI hardware acceleration, edge computing and next-generation electronics through internships, technical mentoring, expert sessions, industry interaction and project-based learning.
The MoU will also support Sahyadri’s newly introduced M.Tech programme in VLSI Design & Embedded Systems and strengthen the B.E. programme in Electronics & Communication Engineering by providing practical exposure to real-world semiconductor and embedded hardware technologies.
The Department of ECE has already established a dedicated Centre of Excellence in VLSI Design with the support of Karmic Design Pvt Ltd. Officials said the partnership with Anmaya Technologies is expected to further enhance the institution’s semiconductor-focused learning ecosystem.
Anmaya Technologies is known for its work in FPGA-native product development for high-performance and ultra-low-latency computing applications, including AI inference acceleration, embedded systems, defense electronics, aerospace systems and advanced hardware computing solutions.
The department stated that the initiative aligns with Sahyadri’s vision of developing a future-ready semiconductor talent ecosystem and positioning the institution as an emerging hub for semiconductor and advanced electronics education in Karnataka.
