Cyient Semiconductors announces strategic collaboration with MIPS
To leverage Cyient's Analog Mixed Signal capabilities and MIPS Atlas CPU IP for motor control and data center power delivery
Cyient Semiconductors, a fast-growing custom silicon company based in Hyderabad, and MIPS, a global leader in RISC-V processor IP, today announced a strategic collaboration to develop domain-optimized ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) and ASSP (application-specific standard product) solutions that leverage the MIPS Atlas portfolio of advanced, efficient processor IP.
The partnership will focus on enabling real-time, safety-critical applications, power delivery, and compute efficiency in demanding platforms for automotive, industrial, and data center markets. Motor Control & Data Center Power Delivery are focal platforms to leverage Cyient's Analog Mixed Signal capabilities and MIPS Atlas CPU IP.
As compute systems scale from cloud to the edge, intelligent power delivery is emerging as a key enabler of performance and efficiency, said Suman Narayan, CEO of Cyient Semiconductors. Our collaboration with MIPS allows us to bring together embedded intelligence and advanced power architectures in custom silicon platforms built on a scalable, open foundation. Together, we are designing tomorrow's semiconductors purpose-built for a more connected and power-efficient world.
Demand for software defined vehicles, data center infrastructure, and industrial automation is driving growth for custom silicon. Customers can build advanced, differentiated solutions that are easy to program using MIPS advanced processor IP, based on the open RISC-V instruction set architecture, combined with Cyient intelligent power and mixed-signal design expertise.
Targeted applications include motor drive control, intelligent power management, power delivery management, and safety-critical applications, offered as ASSP or ASIC platforms. OEMs and system integrators will benefit from faster time-to-market, avoiding proprietary lock-ins, and optimized platform cost.

Gold in a healthy consolidation period, says Chris Wood
Gold prices have risen by 85% since the start of 2022 while the MSCI AC World Index is up only 19% over the same period, according to the note. Synopsis Jefferies' Christopher Wood notes gold's consolidation above $3,000. He maintains high gold allocation in his pension fund. Western gold ETF flows are light despite gold's outperformance since 2022. Total ETF holdings are below 2020 peak. Gold prices have significantly outpaced the MSCI AC World Index since 2022. China's gold imports surged in April. Mumbai: Jefferies' global equity strategist Christopher Wood said gold has entered a 'healthy consolidation' period with prices holding above US$3,000 an ounce-a level he described as ideal for gold mining companies to enjoy rising profit margins. In his newsletter, Greed & Fear, Wood said he maintains a 40% allocation to physical gold and 20% to gold mining stocks in his asset allocation for a US dollar-denominated pension fund. ADVERTISEMENT "Normally, when a certain category of stocks outperform, there are strong flows into the related ETFs. But that has not been the case with gold in recent years," he said. "Flows into gold ETFs in the western world have remained relatively light given the dramatic outperformance of gold since the start of 2022." Total known ETF holdings of gold are up 10% from their May 2024 low but remain 20.3% below the October 2020 peak. Gold prices have risen by 85% since the start of 2022 while the MSCI AC World Index is up only 19% over the same period, according to the said China has increased its gold purchases with imports rising 73% in April from the previous month to 127.5 tonnes, the highest level in 11 months. This volume is equivalent to nearly half of the average monthly global gold production outside China, he said."Holdings in China-listed gold ETFs have increased by 82 tonnes so far this year, compared to an increase of 53.3 tonnes in all of 2024," the note said.

Entrepreneurship is not a choice, but a national necessity, says founder-Chairman of Cyient Mohan Reddy
Bifurcation has put Andhra Pradesh at a disadvantage with limited development in the last 10 years. Though the strength of the State lies in its human resources, the government needs to put in place supporting infrastructure to make optimum use of the talent pool. 'The State government is now focused on building this infrastructure, and once it's in place, human resources and infrastructure will work in tandem like a 'jugalbandi', producing something truly remarkable,' says founder-Chairman of Cyient and Padma Shri recipient B.V.R. Mohan Reddy. Cyient had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the representatives of the All-India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) here on Wednesday to establish an innovation cluster in Visakhapatnam. Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Mohan Reddy says the project's aim is to promote entrepreneurship, as it generates jobs, drives innovation, and creates wealth. 'It builds ecosystems that support long-term growth. That's why this is a passion project for me. Even after stepping down from my operational role at Cyient, I've continued to work on initiatives to foster innovation and entrepreneurship, including the BVR SCIENT (School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship) at IIT-Hyderabad,' Mr. Mohan Reddy says. 'To truly move the needle, we need to build entrepreneurship at scale. But departments have limited budget and corporates can do only limited stuff. So we can start at one place and scale it up later,' he says, and explains why he chose to begin in Visakhapatnam. 'Cyient has a strong presence in the Port City, with around 1,000 employees and good infrastructure, making it a logical starting point. Once a pilot succeeds, governments can step in and expand it,' he avers. Partnering with AICTE gives us reach across engineering institutions in the country. It's a powerful synergy, he adds. Objectives On the key indicators of success he envisions over the next few years out of the project, he says its too early to assign numbers. 'We have outlined two major objectives. First, we must instil an entrepreneurial mindset in our youth. That doesn't always mean starting a business. It's about thinking like an owner, having purpose, accountability, and a drive to create value. This mindset can significantly raise productivity. The second objective is to improve outcomes from existing incubation centers in colleges,' he says. 'Many institutions have incubators simply to tick boxes. There's often no real output. We want to change that by involving industry mentors, not just professors, and helping students understand go-to-market strategies, business planning, and product-market fit. We will help them in terms of market access,' Mr. Mohan Reddy says. Funding To ensure long-term continuity of the project, he says the funding will be both through Cyient's CSR arm and his family Foundation. 'We are serious about outcomes,' he stresses, citing the example of his organisation's work with 34 government schools in Telangana. 'We have achieved 56% girl child enrolment, up from much lower numbers,' he says, pointing out that recently 54 of the total 100 students in the Telangana Board's 10th grade results came from his schools. 'Our approach is driven by measurable outcomes,' he reiterates. About the role of the industry, he says it will be primarily of knowledge partners. 'They can offer subject matter expertise, business mentoring, and marketing know-how. Their experience is invaluable in guiding students from ideation to product.' Speaking about student support, he says it will begin with stimulating curiosity. 'Why can't we do this differently?' From there, innovation emerges, followed by entrepreneurship,' he says, informing Cyient is working with the State government to rethink curricula and pedagogy. 'This isn't just about awareness; it's about practical skill-building and hands-on experience,' he says. Inclusivity Mr. Mohan Reddy says inclusivity is central to his mission. 'Many of the institutions we are working with are located in rural or semi-urban areas. We are actively working to ensure that similar outreach happens through the innovation cluster, especially in northern Andhra Pradesh and other underserved regions,' he says. On possible replication of the project, he says scalability will depend on funding. Mr. Mohan Reddy opines that for a nation like India, entrepreneurship is no longer a choice, it's an imperative. 'We have the advantage of demographic dividend, but it is also a challenge of creating enough jobs. Our ambition of becoming a Viksit Bharat by 2047 makes entrepreneurship a national necessity,' he signs off.
