Marvell Technology, Inc., a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, has announced a strategic investment of $250 million in India over the next three years. The investment will expand the company’s capabilities in technology, talent, and infrastructure, coinciding with its 20-year anniversary of engineering innovation in the country.
As part of the plan, Marvell aims to double its headcount in India within three years, unveil a new wing at its Bangalore office, and strengthen its presence in Hyderabad. This expansion will reinforce the company’s global innovation network, focusing on the design and development of advanced semiconductor solutions for AI, cloud, and data infrastructure applications.
“India has become a strategic hub of engineering excellence for Marvell, playing a critical role in advancing the infrastructure technologies that power the world’s leading hyperscalers and cloud providers,” said Navin Bishnoi, vice president and India country manager at Marvell. “As we celebrate 20 years in India, we remain committed to expanding R&D investments, strengthening the country’s semiconductor ecosystem, and developing the next generation of technology talent.”
Advancing Semiconductor Innovation
Marvell established operations in Bangalore in 2006 and has since grown India into the company’s second-largest R&D organization worldwide. Teams across Bangalore, Pune, and Hyderabad have developed deep expertise in advanced process technologies (2nm and beyond), high-speed analog IP, subsystem design, software/firmware development, and end-to-end silicon development. Today, Marvell India contributes across numerous technology platforms, with its employees holding multiple patents and playing a leading role in applying advanced AI tools to accelerate engineering productivity and innovation.
Beyond technology development, Marvell continues to invest in the long-term growth of India’s semiconductor ecosystem through collaboration with universities, startups, industry associations, and government organizations. The company collaborates with leading universities to support internship programs, faculty development initiatives, joint research projects, and curriculum development designed to better prepare students for careers in advanced technology fields. Marvell also works with emerging startups through mentorship and strategic collaborations in areas aligned with its technology and product portfolios. Additionally, Marvell actively engages with industry associations and government bodies to foster greater collaboration across the ecosystem and support the continued growth of India’s semiconductor industry.
Marvell Scholarship Program
During the event, Marvell highlighted its commitment to developing future engineering talent through its Marvell Scholarship for Technical and Engineering Merit (MSTEM) program. This initiative aims to cultivate the next generation of AI and semiconductor innovators through financial support, hands-on industry experience, and exposure to real-world technology development.
Launched earlier this year, the MSTEM program supports students pursuing degrees in electronics, electrical engineering, and computer science. The program attracted more than 7,000 applicants from leading universities across India, with 100 outstanding students selected to receive scholarships. By combining financial assistance with practical industry engagement, the program aims to strengthen India’s technology talent pipeline and prepare students for careers at the forefront of semiconductor and AI innovation.
