Virtusa just bought SmartSoC Solutions—here's why it matters
Virtusa, a product and platform engineering services company, has snapped up Bengaluru-based SmartSoC Solutions to boost its game in semiconductor and AI chip design.
The price tag is under wraps, but the move comes as demand for high-performance chips keeps climbing worldwide.
What does SmartSoC bring to the table?
SmartSoC isn't small—they've got 1,400+ engineers across Bengaluru, Hubli, and Hyderabad who work on everything from VLSI to embedded systems.
Virtusa's CEO Nitesh Banga called the deal "transformational," saying it lets them handle everything from silicon design all the way up to user applications.
So what happens next?
SmartSoC's leadership team stays on board, with CEO Bharath Desareddy promising they'll now offer end-to-end "chip-to-cloud" engineering.
For Virtusa, this means a stronger shot at shaping the future of smarter devices and AI tech—right as those fields are exploding.
