Srinivas: Hi Anupam, nice to see you at DVCon. I’ve been really looking forward to meeting you here. You’ve been to DAC recently, right? You’ve seen the growth of AI in EDA, and also a bit of open source. As an expert, what are the latest trends you’re observing? What insights can you share from DAC and DVCon with our audience?

Anupam: First of all, Srinivas, thank you for seeking us out and meeting after a long time. Sorry I haven’t been at DVCon India in recent years, but India is playing a pivotal role and we need to pay attention to it.

I’ve been on a bit of a world tour—Long Beach for DAC, now here, and next Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. The clear message everywhere is that a disruption is happening. You either ride the wave or get drowned by it.

Srinivas: It’s an AI tsunami. We can see that happening everywhere.

Anupam: Exactly. It’s an AI tsunami, and we’d rather be on top of it than be drowned by it.
