EdgeCortix did not disclose the value of the investment.
It said that the investment builds on the strong momentum of its previously oversubscribed funding round.
The investment strengthens EdgeCortix’s position as a global leader in AI inference, accelerating the development and commercialization of its next-generation, energy-efficient platforms for Generative and Agentic AI, including its next-generation SAKURA-X chiplet-based platform, the company said.
Axiro joins EdgeCortix as an investor, bringing deep expertise in RF, mmWave, and advanced connectivity IC design for next-generation wireless systems. Headquartered in India, Axiro is focused on building high-performance semiconductor solutions across telecom, satellite communications, and defense, while expanding into adjacent domains including AI-driven infrastructure, industrial systems, robotics, and consumer electronics.
“This investment reflects our focus on advancing next generation semiconductor and connectivity technologies. At Axiro, we are building capabilities across telecom, satellite communication and defense even while expanding into adjacent domains such as industrial systems, robotics and consumer electronics where AI is becoming increasingly relevant,” Dr. Naveen Yanduru, Chief Executive Officer at Axiro, said.
“We see alignment with EdgeCortix’s low-power, high-performance AI capabilities, including platforms such as SAKURA-II, and the potential to complement our work in advanced connectivity. This investment also aligns with our approach to strengthening our presence in telecom and wireless infrastructure while expanding into emerging application areas globally,” he added.
MPower Partners, participated as a financial investor.
“EdgeCortix’s software-first approach and focus on performance-per-watt align closely with our Fund 2 theme of ‘Japan Dynamism’. We believe the company is uniquely positioned to deliver sustainable, scalable innovation while enabling the next generation of AI applications globally,” Kathy Matsui, General Partner at MPower Partners, said.
“Beyond capital, both Axiro Semiconductor and MPower Partners bring unique strategic value to EdgeCortix,” said Dr. Sakyasingha Dasgupta, Founder and CEO of EdgeCortix.
“Axiro’s expertise in advanced wireless systems and strong presence across India’s industrial ecosystem open new pathways for collaboration and market expansion, while MPower’s deep network in Japan and global investment perspective support our continued growth and mission to deliver power- efficient, sustainable AI innovation. Together, these partnerships will accelerate our business development across key regions, including Japan and other global markets,” he added.
Last year, CG Power announced the launch of its first Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility at Sanand, Gujarat. CG Semi Private Ltd., a subsidiary of CG Power, in collaboration with Renesas and Stars Microelectronics is investing over Rs. 7,600 crore over five years to develop two state-of-the-art facilities at Sanand, Gujarat.
