HCLTech partners with Dolphin Semiconductor to co-develop energy-efficient chips
New Delhi, December 8
HCLTech announced a strategic partnership with Dolphin Semiconductor, a pioneer in low-power semiconductor IP, to co-develop energy-efficient chips.
This collaboration is designed to help enterprises address growing demands for energy efficiency and high performance in increasingly complex and connected environments, HCLTech said in a statement.
Leveraging its deep engineering expertise in system-on-chip (SoC) architecture, design and development, HCLTech will embed Dolphin's specialized low-power IP into its silicon design workflows.
This integration will deliver scalable, high-efficiency SoCs that reduce energy consumption while maintaining robust computational capabilities across diverse workloads, the company said.
Speaking on the development, Hari Sadarahalli, CVP and Head of Engineering and R&D Services, HCLTech said, "As AI workloads surge, data grows exponentially and sustainability becomes a top priority, our collaboration with Dolphin Semiconductor will empower our clients to lead with agility, high performance and a strong commitment to environmental responsibility."
Pierre-Marie Dell'Accio, Executive VP Engineering of Dolphin Semiconductor said, "By partnering with HCLTech, we will be able to extend the reach of our low-power IP to more applications and customers than ever before. This partnership will help us push the boundaries of energy-efficient computing -- whether it is for IoT devices or datacenter ecosystems."

Great move for sustainability. Data centers consume so much power. If these chips can reduce that, it's a win for both business costs and the environment. Hope this leads to more affordable tech solutions for Indian startups as well.
Sounds promising, but I'll believe it when I see the real-world results. Many companies make big claims about "energy efficiency." The proof will be in the actual power savings and performance in Indian summer heat and voltage fluctuations. 🤞
As someone working in IoT, this is very relevant. Low-power chips are crucial for sensor networks and smart devices that need to run for years on a battery. If HCLTech can deliver, it could revolutionize smart farming and city projects here.
Good strategic partnership. We need more Indian IT giants to move up the value chain into core hardware and semiconductor design, not just services. This is the way to build long-term capability and reduce dependency on imports.
Respectfully, while the intent is good, I hope HCLTech ensures this doesn't just remain a press release. We've seen many such announcements. The real test is creating a product that is cost-competitive for the price-sensitive Indian market.
