Kaynes Semicon Opens Chip Design Centre In Oman

Kaynes Semicon, a fully owned subsidiary of Kaynes Technology India, has opened its first international chip design centre in Muscat, Oman.

The centre was launched in partnership with Oman’s ministries of transport, communications, and labour.

It will focus on both front-end and back-end chip design. CEO Raghu Panicker said the company will also train 80 to 100 students each year in advanced chip design technologies.

"The centre will help students with designing complex integrated circuits, chip fabrication, wafer preparation, etc," he explained.

When asked why they chose Oman, he said the government fully funds the design centre.

Ramesh Kannan, MD of Kaynes Technology India, said, “With this step, we are extending our plan of building a strong semiconductor ecosystem beyond India, supporting local governments”.

Kaynes got approval from the Union Cabinet in September last year to set up a semiconductor assembly and testing unit (OSAT) in Sanand, Gujarat, with an investment of ₹3,307 crore. 

This facility will be able to produce 6.3 million chips per day.
