Virtusa Corporation, a Massachusetts-based product and platform engineering services firm, has on Wednesday announced the acquisition of SmartSoC Solutions, a firm which offers Semiconductor engineering, integrated circuit (IC) design services and automotive solutions. It did not disclose the size of the deal.
Bengaluru firm SmartSoC Solutions has over 1,400 engineers with expertise in VLSI, physical design and embedded software.
According to a company communique, this acquisition marks a pivotal moment for Virtusa and will immediately expand its industry portfolio to include the high-growth semiconductor sector and completing its full-stack, end-to-end service capabilities, spanning the entire digital technology ecosystem from the chip to the network, cloud, and application layer.
The integration of SmartSoC, with its deep expertise in silicon design, verification, and embedded systems engineering, would position Virtusa to capitalise on the secular demand for advanced silicon driven by global digital transformation, it further said.
The acquisition would also establish Virtusa’s semiconductor engineering footprint in India, in addition to strengthening its global delivery capabilities by integrating SmartSoC’s engineering presence across Bengaluru, Hubballi and Hyderabad.
Nitesh Banga, Chief Executive Officer of Virtusa, said “The acquisition of SmartSoC is transformational for Virtusa. It immediately establishes us as a key player in the high-growth semiconductor engineering space, completing our vision for a full-stack offering that can serve clients from the foundational silicon layer all the way through to the customer application.’’
The existing leadership team, led by Chief Executive Officer Bharath Desareddy, would remain unchanged and continue to oversee all delivery programs and client engagements. All current project structures, contractual commitments and service agreements would continue as they are, as per the communique.
Bharath Desareddy, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SmartSoC Solutions, said, “Joining forces with Virtusa is an incredible opportunity for the SmartSoC team and our customers.’’
