Top 10 embedded companies in India

January 4, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Right then! This topic should be of interest to several folks in India as well as overseas! Especially, those who are looking to tap the renowned Indian talent in embedded systems and software.

It is very well known that all the leading MNCs are present in India, and well, do great work in embedded systems and software. Definitely, any top 10 list of such companies would include the likes of:

* Intel
* Texas Instruments
* Freescale
* Philips
* Samsung
* LG Electronics
* And some of the other leading multinational companies.

However, my exercise is NOT to look for the leading MNCs in this domain, but to find out who are the leading Indian companies ‘working’ in the embedded systems and software space.

Some immediate ones that would spring to mind could be the likes of Ittiam, Sasken, Mistral, KPIT, Symphony, Mphasis, eInfochips, Infosys, TCS, HCL Technologies, Wipro, etc., perhaps.

There are so many others, including Yindusoft, Dexcel Designs, Ample Communications. Ibex, EmLabs, eSpark Infotech, i Micro System, Adamya Computing, etc.

However, I am not very sure how all of these companies are currently performing, nor is it possible for me to find out in a short time. Nevertheless, having been in close touch with some of these companies, it is quite possible that the downturn could be hitting some of the smaller companies, and maybe, even the bigger ones. Well, it is a downturn after all, and spends are not that high!

It is widely hoped that the very strong Indian embedded industry will overcome these problems and shine brightly in the new year.

In my list of the leading Indian companies in the embedded space, I am clubbing some of the larger companies, which are also into other activities, such as IT and outsourcing services.

In no particular order, my top 10 companies in the embedded systems and software space in India would be:

1. Tata Elxsi/Sasken
2. Ittiam Systems
3. Infosys/TCS
4. HCL Technologies/Wipro
5. KPIT Cummins Infosystems
5. Mphasis/BFL
6. Symphony
7. Sonata Software
8. Mistral/eInfochips
9. Dexcel Designs
10. Robosoft/Yindusoft

Yes, do feel free to disagree, friends! 🙂 Again, I know this may not be a perfect list!

There are several companies in the embedded space within India who have been really doing outstanding work. I will try my best to contact as many of these companies and find out what these folks are presently working on!

I will also TRY and revise this list, IF I am able to round up as many companies, and am able to rank them, based on the solidity of their current projects, and NOT on the revenue gained in 2008. Again, I agree, this criteria may not appeal to all, but then it is my list 🙂

Therefore, feel free to disagree, folks… and please add several names of these great Indian companies in the embedded systems and software space, along with their email IDs, so I can easily touch base with them!

PS: One reader has mentioned about whether these companies have great products! Well, would be great if the companies could come up and say how great their products are!!

Thanks for the feedback, Mr. Nair, and good to have new names… 🙂

Another reader had mentioned ProcSys! Many thanks for those names, friends!

    India needs a vibrant embedded software exporting market,so that we can employ a lot of young minds in them. but it seems that our efforts are far less than expected.actually our so called biggies don’t pay attention to this area. 2 big companies TCS and INFY don’t pay attention into this untapped area,which can be tapped by our rivals with their big market in hand.indian companies don’t need to employ separate employees for this sector as they recruit huge number of electronics students and they need to be trained only.

    hope CEO of any big company will look into this matter after reading my comments.

    It doesn’t matter on the rank! What matters is what skill levels will a student or prospective employee for any company is bringing to the table. Ultimately, it is your skills and talent on the job, and not your marks scored in exams, that determine your success.

    Don’t look too far, Ravi, someone you know, who blogs a lot, never did that well in studies.. but hasn’t done that badly in life either 😉 Best wishes.

    Hello Arsha and Kiran, thanks for your comments.

    Pl. have a look at my blog post titled: Growth drivers for embedded electronics in India, dated Nov. 23, 2009.

    Also, the post titled: Embedded electronics: Trends and opportunities in India! dated, Nov. 4, 2009.

    They’ll give you an idea of the trends and areas people are working on.

    Verticals of growth are:
    * IT and office automation (OA)
    * Wireless telecom infrastructure
    * Consumer electronics
    * Industrial electroncis
    * Automotive electronics
    * Medical electronics, smart cards
    * Defence and aerospace
    * Green electronics — LEDs, solar.

    Try developing skills related to these OR some of these areas. Also, follow blogs from key companies — Intel, TI, Samsung, ST, Freescale, AMD, TSMC, NI, Xilinx, Altera, Cadence. Mentor, Synopsys, etc., to read up on latest developments. Look at the tools, technologies, processes these companies are working on.

    Merely following curriculum is not enough. Lot of self study will also be required.

    This will surely help you make a good career in either chip designing or embedded electronics. If your intention is only getting into a top MNC, then I think you need to work more hard on developing skills they need. If you want to do something of your own, it is important to learn to do self study, try innovating yourself, and address local problems. Best of luck with your endeavours. 🙂

    Pradeep,

    Just a quick comment – you may want to look considering “pure embedded companies”, that is companies that are doing only embedded systems and companies that have embedded systems as one of the focus areas. Mistral, Ittiam, Sasken, Global Edge, eInfochips will be in the category of pure play embedded systems companies. Wipro, Infosys, Mindtree, TCS are companies that offer embedded systems as one of the focus areas.

    Why have you put the name of a service/maintenance company like Infosys in top 10 embedded companies in india while it is having one of the worst R&D in india, which has no name and does not have an EMBEDDED SYSTEM UNIT? A company is earning money by giving mantainance does not mean that it will be one of the top 10 embedded companies in India. Next time try to delete the name of such service companies. Bye

    The list is very tough to maintain, and can be extended only by thread – Embedded companies in India instead of Top 10, as anywhere this information is not present. However Big companies have multiple domains and a medium companies have limited domains so the list pure embedded does not matter much.
    For Embedded Courses, I feel CDAC is best and Cranes and Uthara are good options in Bangalore. CDAC & Vector in Hyderabad. In North only CDAC, Noida is the only option. The profile will be good if you have knowledge of at least one microcontroller and one RTOS. C concepts and OS Concepts should be strong. More specifically ARM knowledge will be best and VxWorks/Linux/Symbian in RTOS.
    Embedded Development work is very interesting. You will learn lot. In testing, it depends on the type of product you are working on, sometimes you will learn too much by testing only. The scope is increasing in India for embedded but still North India is lagging too much.
    I completed CDAC – Embedded from Bangalore in 2008. Worked for Mistral for one year.

    @ DHIREN – Hi Dhiren, You have a quiet a very good experience and it will be chota muh badi baat type thing. Although I can’t suggest you anything but I can share my experience.

    Upto now I have worked on Power PC and ARM based system. Although I have some basic knowledge of 8051. In PowerPC based system, we were cross compiling the code, so the programming was a simple C programming. Only we had to be cautious about memory utilization and performance. In ARM based system I was developing the code using Real Time Operating System.

    So I found that simple knowledge of C (good programming/optimization skills), OS concepts, Interrupt Handling, IPC’s and scheduling is ok, rest is datasheet and Google, as per the requirement of the module/project. After that one can go for Linux Device Drivers, Socket Programming.

    @ RAVI — Hi ravi, ask the same question to K.BABU SIR 🙂 .

    @ ALL — In Embedded, you will find more core knowledge in small scale companies and minimum in large scale companies. If you want both money and work, then medium level companies are good.

      @mahesh – first try to search for a job without any course. All you need a good C skills and link it with the assembly. How exactly C works. How exactly a function call works. Although I am not from an Electronics background, but a question was asked to me at fresher level – How will you recognise a processor is Little Endian or Big Endian using C language. Other things are OS concepts (memory management, Scheduler, Interrupt handling, IPC’s),knowledge of Microcontroller,knowledge of Linux and Device Driver is optional. Although if you really want to do some course in Embedded, then CDAC is best. But success rate is not 100% there. Other options are Vector Hyderabad, Cranes Bangalore. I feel colleges in Maharastra covers everything what is there in PG Diploma – Embedded courses.

      The company can’t be so specific as you asked. Its purely depends on the product. All you have to work in a company by your concepts and Datasheet. You should have knowledge of at least one uc (that you have). Now a days many embedded products where we can supply external power, currently using Intel Atom also. So now the definition of embedded products is also changing. But still if you want a answer, I guess Tata Elxsi. If you have two-three choices (offers) then people can help you. Take Care.

    Hello Venkatesh, companies in embedded would expect you to have a good domain knowledge and a willingness to learn. Better plan to develop good domain knowledge of various fields as well. Requires lots of reading and also (hopefully) practice. Best of luck!

    Hello Mr Pradeep… i must applaud your blog… i had been an honour to read your blog and i am serious… I have been in the field for about one and half year.. i have worked on series from 8051’s to atmega32 from avr32 to dspic33f series … but i have come to the knowlege ic is just a datasheet away.. now i am developing my knowledge of os concepts and working on RTOS and ecos…

    However, i was afraid by the lack of embedded companies in mumbai…and the low payscale.. you blog have give me higher company to aim at..

    Yeah, my question is…. is a natural progression so pick up fpga programming after some time spent in RTOS and ecos..Just wanted to verify if my learning garph is going the right direction…Or should i persue MS in embedded so that the pay is respectable in india… sorry for the long post could’nt help pouring my heart out….

    Hello Pradeep

    I am a headhunter based in Malaysia and my clients are predominantly American and European MNCs operating in Malaysia as well as other Asian countries; I do cross-border searches.

    I read with interest your blog on the embedded industry in your country. India has a growing list of companies, both local and foreign, in the embedded and firmware space, thus, a growing talent pool. It will be a a matter of time when such companies and talent will leave their mark in this field as others have done in IT, banking, FMCG, etc.

    I wish to reach out to your readers who may be interested–and possessing of the relevant experience, skills and competencies–to consider a senior position I am trying to fill for a technology company based in Malaysia.

    I am looking for a Senior Director, R&D Asia Pacific, with a leading SSD manufacturer. This is a leadership role overseeing all software R&D and product development functions in the Malaysian facility which is the company’s predominant production facility globally.

    Knowledge of software and firmware engineering is mandatory. HDD or SSD industry knowledge is a plus. Proven leadership, senior management, project management, people and communication, strategic mindset and track record apply.

    As per my knowledge there will be two sections in an Embedded company. One section of professionals that work on software part & the other work on Actual Hardware like Board testing, debugging and all.

    so i wanted to know which section give us more flexibility in learning and developing our career in that domain? whether working in Hardware section will leave us with less options later as the technologies(generally Microcontrollers) used change very frequently???

    Hi Pradeep

    Its nice to see a good amount of information about embedded systems in India from you.

    I’m a telecom engineer and a 2009 BE ECE passout. I have a great affinity toward embedded systems. I gave an exam for ‘Diploma in Embedded system design’ course at ‘C-DAC’ and got selected for its Pune branch. It starts on September 13th.

    But my peers are telling that the embedded field is still in a budding stage in India and so there will be no good profile job and higher pay after completing the course (although placements opportunities are there). Also an offer in IT domain is also with me.

    I’m in a dilemma which field to choose. I want you to tell the real climate of Embedded systems in India, its scope, abroad opportunities, salary levels, etc so that I could make a clear decision as I’m getting it from you, an industry expert. Please guide me . . .

    First, I would like to appreciate your effort that you are taking out time to reply each and every post. I am working with a very big software service based company (don’t want to name) under Java technology in Bangalore, and having nine months experience.

    My interest is more in embedded. Even I have published tech papers in national conference and did a number of projects on AVR microcontrollers. I am a 2009 pass out, did B. Tech in ECE.

    But, i am not happy with my current work. So, I have decided to switch to other firm.

    Can you please guide me how to prepare for the interview? I mean, which topics should be covered? Are their companies in Delhi NCR?

      Yes, there are companies in Delhi NCR. Some MNCs have offices there. Please check!

      As for preparing for an interview — do look up the areas the companies are working on — e.g. telecom, medical electronics, defence electronics, wireless, consumer electronics, IT and office automation, green electronics, etc., and then check whether you have the necessary skills.

      That’s what they’d like to know, as well as any work that you may have done in those areas. They want people who are industry ready — with a capability of working on projects, and not merely having degrees, etc.

    Is it the right time to go for CDAC DESD course (AS I AM 2009 PASSED OUT) OR should I continue my job search?

    Or, can I go for private training center (because in CDAC, classes starts from 9am-6pm every mon-sat) so that I can search for a job and study the subject in parallel?

      While it is not possible for me to list the names of companies who hire freshers, I believe that skills and what you actually bring to the table are most important.

      After all, you need to be ready to face the challenges of the semicon/VLSI/embedded industry!

      Best of luck.

    I am a 52.8 percent aggregate holder from Pune University. Presently, I am doing an Embedded System Design Course. Is there any scope available for students like me? It’s been really tough time for me since nobody even allows me for an interview since they all need a first class.

    PLEASE HELP ME!

      Kaustubh, consider developing an embedded project and putting up some of the details — that will interest any prospective employer. The project should be in line with the current industry requirements. If you can convince them with the intricacy of the project, you could stand a chance.

      Companies want to know your skills — so, try and develop something in embedded — where you can clearly show your skills.

      Best wishes.

    Hello sir,

    I have three questions in mind, so please help me to out from those.

    1) I had completed my B.Tech with 70% in electronics and communication engineering. I want to pursue my career in embedded domain. So, I am joining VECTOR Hyderabad for embedded systems course. IS it good????

    2) I wish to pursue my career in embedded domain. Currently. what are prerequisites for it? I am looking out for a job but am not able to find one..

    3) Finally, I heard that the pay scale for freshers in embedded is low compared to software side and work is also high for first two years. Is it true ?

      The post is well matured now, and can answer all your queries.
      Vector is good, rest is your own knowledge.
      There is no specific criteria of payscale in any domain for freshers, all depends on the company and your luck. Even some freshers are working without pay also.

      Good …
      Just learn about Microprocessor and Microcontroller Architecture once, will be easy for you, if you are an electronics guy. Parallely C and Linux will help you lot. Read about multiprocessing, multithreading, memory concepts and implement it in demo codes. Learn IPCs and try some demo code, you can think of, running in embedded device of your daily use, like lift in your appartment/college (assume case of multiple lift), your mobile device, your Mp3 player, ATM Machines or any other device. Try efficient coding, minimum memory usage, no code crash, proper testing, no memory leak etc. Use C under Linux. Try to generate the binaries using the make utility. Also learn about the shared libraries. Enjoy homework 🙂

    I agree with you that embedded system is an area where our youngsters can make their mark. Wish that the Indian companies own many more original design patents in the near future.

      Hello Bodhibrata, how are you? First, you will need to get out of Calcutta/Bengal to make a good career. Once you have done that, you will find many doors opening for you. Best of luck and cheers 😉

    Hi Pradeep,
    The blog has been quite informative. Thanks for the compilation of company list working in embedded area, although I have read after quite a long time.

    I have 4.5 years of IT experience in Telecom domain with C/C++ & Unix/Linux technology and I am going for Embedded course offered by CDAC.

    I have following queries:
    1. Is it right time to switch field from IT to embedded?
    2. Will my prior experience in IT will be counted when looking for Job as it is in C & Unix?

      Hello Ronak: There’s nothing called a good time. You can change, if you want to! IT and semicon are two different areas, so don’t think your previous experience will help. Best wishes.

    Hello Mr. Chakraborty
    I must say its a great piece of work shared by you, but its my kind request to share some more links, which would be beneficial for our fresh graduates. They are still not fully aware of our industry requirements and those who do, they don’t know which path to opt for. There are millions of students who graduate every year and spend a lot of money doing many other courses and then finally compromise with their dream; to get a job. Experienced people like you can help them.

    I know that being a professional, you won’t be having so much spare time, but its my humble request to lead the young generation of our country. I’ll be very thankful to you for your act of kindness in this regard.
    Abhineet
