Rapidus Corporation and HCLTech have opened two development centers in Bengaluru and Hubli, India, to support Rapidus’ semiconductor engineering requirements. The centers were inaugurated on October 26, 2026.
The centers will offer semiconductor engineering capabilities including mask design; design infrastructure; process design kit development; design technology co-optimization; and layout design.
HCLTech will also work with Rapidus to build a pipeline of Indian engineering talent to meet the company’s evolving talent requirements in Japan.
Dr. Atsuyoshi Koike, representative director and CEO of Rapidus Corporation, said the collaboration is expected to provide access to India’s growing pool of semiconductor engineering talent and establish development capabilities that complement Rapidus’ operations in Japan.
