Synopsys to Host 27th SNUG India Conference on June 18 in Bengaluru for Chip Design Leaders

Synopsys Convenes 27th SNUG India Conference for Semiconductor Design Leaders

Synopsys will host the 27th edition of its annual Synopsys Users Group (SNUG) India conference on June 18, 2026, at the Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield Hotel. The one-day event will bring together engineers, technology leaders, researchers, and ecosystem partners from across India's rapidly expanding semiconductor and systems design community, serving as a key platform for knowledge sharing, technical collaboration, and industry dialogue.

Conference Theme and Focus

As the semiconductor industry navigates increasing design complexity, accelerated product cycles, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence, SNUG India 2026 will focus on emerging technologies and engineering approaches shaping the future of product development. Attendees will have opportunities to engage directly with industry experts, customers, and technology partners while exploring practical applications and advancements across the silicon-to-systems landscape.

Keynote: Re-Engineering the Future of Silicon

The event will open with a keynote address by Ravi Subramanian, Chief Product Management Officer at Synopsys. His presentation, titled 'Re-Engineering the Future of Silicon,' will examine how artificial intelligence, intelligent automation, and next-generation design methodologies are influencing semiconductor innovation. The keynote will also highlight the growing integration of silicon engineering, multiphysics analysis, and system-level development as organizations seek to address increasingly sophisticated design challenges.

Technical Programme

Throughout the day, attendees will participate in technical sessions, customer-led presentations, panel discussions, and interactive exchanges covering a broad range of topics. Key focus areas include AI-enabled engineering workflows, advanced packaging technologies, 3D integrated circuits (3DIC), hardware-assisted verification, software-defined systems, and multidisciplinary design approaches. The programme has been designed to encourage deeper collaboration between technology providers, design engineers, and industry stakeholders.

SNUG India's Legacy

SNUG India has established itself as one of the country's most respected forums for semiconductor professionals. Over nearly three decades, the conference has provided a platform for engineers and design teams to share experiences, discuss technical challenges, and showcase innovative solutions developed using Synopsys technologies. Participants will gain insights into evolving design methodologies, best practices, and emerging trends expected to influence the next generation of intelligent products and electronic systems.

India's Growing Importance to the Industry

India is increasingly central to the global semiconductor design landscape. Nearly 20 percent of the world's chip design engineers are Indian, and global firms including Nvidia, AMD, and Intel are undertaking advanced chip design work in the country - including extremely complex 2-nanometre chips. Union Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw recently noted that nearly 60,000 engineers across 315 universities have been trained in advanced chip design tools such as Synopsys and Cadence, fueling the country's design-led semiconductor strategy outlined in the NITI Aayog roadmap.
