Synopsys Inc., a global leader in engineering solutions, has commemorated three decades of operations in India with the opening of a new research and development facility in Bengaluru.

The new office, located at Bagmane Capital, spans over 455,000 square feet and will serve as a hub for advanced R&D in electronic design automation (EDA), semiconductor intellectual property (IP), verification and system design solutions. This expansion aims to help global and regional customers bring next-generation technologies to market more efficiently.

Sassine Ghazi, President and CEO, Synopsys and Dr. Aart de Geus, Executive Chair And Founder, Synopsys, attended the inauguration. The company's presence in India now includes seven cities, a network that has recently expanded to include offices from the newly acquired simulation and analysis leader, Ansys.

Ghazi “India has been a key part of the Synopsys story for 30 years. From our very first R&D centre in Bengaluru, to the blooming network of engineers and partners that we have here now, India is an important centre of innovation and talent. As India is building its semiconductor future, Synopsys can provide the holistic, silicon-to-systems design solutions that technology R&D teams need to realise their innovations.”

Synopsys began its India operations in 1995 with an R&D centre in Bengaluru, followed by a field organisation in 1997. Today, approximately one-third of the company's global workforce is based in India, with the majority in engineering roles. These teams are at the forefront of tackling some of the industry's most complex problems, from facilitating semiconductor manufacturing to leading advancements in automotive, AI and next-generation computing.

The company collaborates with more than 100 leading organisations, including market-leading semiconductor design centres, AI startups, and regional design and manufacturing firms.

The 30-year milestone in India follows the recent completion of Synopsys’ acquisition of Ansys in July 2025. This strategic move unites leaders in silicon design, IP, simulation, and analysis, expanding Synopsys’ total addressable market to USD 31 billion. The integration is expected to accelerate the company’s strategy to deliver advanced engineering solutions for the AI era by combining multiphysics simulation with the full EDA stack.

With Ansys' predictive simulation capabilities now part of Synopsys, engineers across industries – including semiconductors, automotive, aerospace, industrial and healthcare – can innovate faster, reduce time-to-market and improve real-world product performance.
