Microchip Technology, the global semiconductor company listed on Nasdaq (MCHP), has expanded its India operations with the acquisition of 1.72 lakh sq ft of premium office space at the Export Promotion Industrial Park (EPIP) Zone, Whitefield, Bengaluru. The move underlines Microchip’s continued focus on strengthening engineering and design capabilities in one of India’s leading technology hubs.

The new facility will act as an extension of Microchip’s Bengaluru Development Center and is designed to accommodate over 3,000 employees over the next decade. With modern infrastructure to support advanced research and development, the space aims to enhance collaboration between the company’s global and regional teams.

Speaking about the expansion, Srikanth Settikere, Vice-President and Managing Director of Microchip’s India Development Center, said the new investment reflects the company’s commitment to creating opportunities and scaling operations. He highlighted that with India contributing nearly 20 per cent of global semiconductor design talent, the Bengaluru facility will bolster Microchip’s advanced IC design efforts.

Steve Sanghi, President and CEO, Microchip, noted that the development comes as the company marks 25 years in India. He said the acquisition reinforces Microchip’s long-term commitment to the country and its growing role in the global semiconductor ecosystem.

The new office is Microchip’s second facility in Bengaluru, complementing its existing presence in Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune and New Delhi. The expansion further strengthens its capabilities across industrial, automotive, consumer, aerospace and defence, communications and computing segments.
