Vervesemi develops application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for sensors and wireless devices

It raised $10 Mn (approx ₹90.7 Cr) in Series A led by Ashish Kacholia and Unicorn India Ventures

The company holds 10 patents and five trade secrets, and serves space, defense, and industrial applications

Vervesemi has raised $10 Mn (approx ₹90.7 Cr) in a Series A funding round.
The round was led by Ashish Kacholia and Unicorn India Ventures.
Other participants include Roots Ventures, Caperize Fina, MAIQ Growth Scheme, and HNIs.
The company will use the funds to accelerate commercialisation of its ML-enhanced analog signal chain IC portfolio.
It will also fund production of existing silicon chips, hiring, IP portfolio expansion, and R&D in next-gen precision analog architectures.
Additionally, Vervesemi plans to build go-to-market presence across Asia, US, and other key semiconductor markets.

Indian semiconductor startups raised about $50 Mn in 2025, up from over $28 Mn in 2024.
C2i Semiconductors bagged $15 Mn earlier this week for AI computing power delivery solutions.
The finance minister announced 'India Semiconductor Mission 2.0' in the Budget speech earlier this month.
