Bihar-Based Swadeza Debuts AI Chip-Design Suite FORGE At SEMICON India 2026

A chip-design tool built in Bihar is aiming at engineers worldwide. Swadeza, founded by Shweta Suman after she returned to Bihar from working abroad, makes FORGE, an AI-native suite for verification, physical design, post-silicon validation and standard cells, deployed on-premises. It had its first public demo at SEMICON India 2026.

Its first delivered product, DV-FORGE, handles full-chip verification. The company says it took the open-source OpenTitan Earl Grey chip to sign-off in 30 days and found seven bugs. Its physical-design tool is in closed testing, with production planned for Q4 2026.
