Sensesemi Technologies, a Bengaluru-based fabless semiconductor startup, has raised ₹25 crore in a seed funding round to accelerate development of its edge AI chip architecture built for high-performance, power-efficient on-device intelligence. The company is focused on enabling real-time AI inference at the edge, reducing dependency on cloud processing for latency-sensitive applications. With demand rising across industrial IoT, automotive systems, and medical devices, Sensesemi aims to deliver efficient silicon designed specifically for always-on sensing and compute at low power. This seed round was led by Piper Serica, with participation from LetsVenture Angel Fund, Sun Icon Ventures, MyAsiaVC, Whitepine Investments, Jain Oncor, and support from additional backers including REAN Foundation and notable angels. The funding will be used to advance first-generation system-on-chip (SoC) designs, complete tape-outs and validation, and strengthen the core engineering team. Sensesemi is also targeting test chips in 2026, progressing toward production-grade versions and future commercial deployments as India’s semiconductor ecosystem continues to scale.
