The 3-Day Chip Design Workshop at SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Tiruchirappalli, was a resounding success, bringing together 100+ participants from academia and industry. Hosted by Object Automation, OpenPOWER Foundation, OpenROAD, and CDAC India, the event offered hands-on learning in IC design, FPGA implementation, and semiconductor innovation. Led by experts like Ganesan Narayanasamy, Dr. Sameer Shende, Mrs. Sri Kamani, Dr. Libin T T, and Kirupanithi, participants explored OpenPOWER-based FPGA development, OpenROAD design flows, and India’s Vega processor. The workshop featured live demonstrations, real-world chip design challenges, and success stories from students. More than just training, it fostered a community of semiconductor innovators. Building on this momentum, Object Automation and its partners plan to expand these initiatives across India, empowering the next generation of chip designers.
