Enterprise Tech
Ananant is a pioneering Indian semiconductor and wireless systems company at the forefront of advanced connectivity, computing, and security solutions for 5G and 6G infrastructure and devices.
It is technologically self-reliant and has developed proprietary IP, Ananant has the potential to be a flag bearer and position India as a global hub for wireless solution.
Chitu has been working on semiconductor chip design for 3–4 years, starting in the US and then continuing in India. We admire his commitment to the long haul—designing and building a business in this space typically takes over 10 years to generate the first revenue. Very few are undertaking such efforts in India.
What’s especially impressive is his decision to leave a high-paying job in the US and relocate to India to build solutions locally, at a time when the country is actively seeking homegrown innovation in deep tech and design.
Ananant represents a rare early-stage investment driven entirely by the extraordinary technical depth of its founder, Chitranjan (“Chitu”) Singh, whose background in advanced semiconductor design and leadership of multiple generations of cutting-edge modem architecture strongly validated the company’s potential. Supported by a highly experienced core team with long-standing expertise across major global technology companies and strong academic pedigrees, the company brings together a uniquely capable group equipped to build world-class semiconductor solutions.
The opportunity is further strengthened by the significant long-term growth potential of India’s semiconductor sector, supported by government initiatives aimed at accelerating domestic electronics design and manufacturing. These structural tailwinds reinforce the strategic relevance of an indigenous semiconductor leader capable of contributing meaningfully to India’s technological ambitions.
Given the strength of the founding team and the favourable policy environment, Ananant stands out as a compelling opportunity to back one of the few teams in India with the expertise required to build a homegrown semiconductor champion.
