On the die

Chipset OEM B2B

Sold as the bare SoC2 die: all six domains.

The case in brief

  • Chipset OEM B2B delivers the highest gross margin in the portfolio at 94%, projected by management to generate ₹54.0 Cr on 30,000 units in FY2032 without requiring installation, certification, or warranty overhead.
  • Supplied as a bare SoC2 die designed for TSMC 28 nm, with a 39.3 TOPS design target, the product serves Tier-1 suppliers and vehicle manufacturers seeking domestic silicon alternatives to costly imported modules.
  • Commercial execution depends entirely on qualified silicon emerging from tapeout and closing direct, high-commitment design-in cycles with automotive engineering teams.

What it is used for

Tier-1 Braking and Perception Subsystem Integration

Buyer
Tier-1 suppliers and OEMs with in-house hardware teams
The job
Tier-1 suppliers must incorporate perception compute into custom boards inside an accountable safety case, wanting Indian-designed silicon and domestic supply rather than an imported module. DeepGrid does not own brake actuation, calibration, homologation, or warranty, leaving system-level responsibility with the integrator.
What DeepGrid supplies
DeepGrid supplies the tested and binned SoC2 die in tray or reel with reference designs and toolchain access, allowing the customer's hardware to execute on-chip perception while their proprietary software determines actuation.

Commercial Vehicle OEM Hardware Integration

Buyer
Tier-1 suppliers and OEMs with in-house hardware teams
The job
Vehicle manufacturers with internal engineering teams require domestic supply rather than an imported part, navigating direct design-in engagements where OEM design-in runs 18 to 30 months. They require bare silicon to place directly onto proprietary vehicle boards rather than buying an integrated module.
What DeepGrid supplies
DeepGrid provides the bare die with a datasheet and integration documentation, enabling customer sensors to feed their own board while SoC2 performs perception compute inside their design.

The story

Bare SoC2 silicon supplied directly for customer board integration at portfolio-leading gross margins.

DeepGrid supplies the bare SoC2 die in tray or reel with reference designs and toolchain access for customers to mount onto their own hardware. The product eliminates enclosures, cabling, and installation services, providing tested silicon alongside integration documentation so the buyer handles the rest. Selling at ₹18,000, this line delivers the most profitable revenue in the business plan at a 94% gross margin.

Portfolio deck, slide 32: What it is

The SoC2 die executes perception compute within the customer's proprietary board architecture.

External sensors feed the customer's board directly, where the SoC2 die processes incoming perception streams inside their proprietary hardware design. The customer's software determines vehicle actuation from that compute, allowing their finished product to ship with DeepGrid silicon inside. Designed for TSMC 28 nm and not yet fabricated, the roughly 57 mm² die targets 39.3 TOPS of compute (a design target) and 102.4 GB/s memory bandwidth, leaving physical board integration entirely with the buyer.

Portfolio deck, slide 33: How it works

Tier-1 suppliers and OEMs choose domestic silicon to satisfy localization priorities and internal engineering needs.

The buyer base comprises Tier-1 automotive suppliers and OEMs with in-house hardware teams capable of board-level integration. Procurement policies favoring Indian-designed silicon and domestic supply drive customers away from imported modules, supported by the ADAS mandate. Engaging this market requires direct design-in relationships, targeting a management-projected 0.25% capture of an India ADAS chip pool estimated at $2.29B in 2024.

Portfolio deck, slide 34: Who buys it

Chipset OEM adds high-margin revenue to the portfolio without consuming field operations capacity.

Management projects Chipset OEM B2B to generate ₹54.0 Cr on 30,000 units by FY2032, accounting for 4.8% of group revenue at a 94% gross margin. Because customers manage board assembly, vehicle certification, and field service, revenue expands without demanding internal installation or warranty infrastructure. Every unit in this line remains strictly downstream of successful tapeout qualification.

What has to go right

Product viability depends entirely on working, qualified silicon downstream of ASIC tapeout completion and qualification. Because bare die sales provide no enclosure or integration layer, every unit in this line is downstream of the tapeout landing. DeepGrid must secure direct design-in engagements with Tier-1 suppliers and OEMs with in-house hardware teams through long cycles and high commitment, where OEM design-in runs 18 to 30 months. DeepGrid must also provide sufficient reference designs and toolchain support so integrators execute their own software without requiring broad OEM customisation or safety-case ownership from DeepGrid.
