izmo Microsystems, a wholly owned subsidiary of izmo Limited, has been selected as the official Photonic IC Packaging Partner for a major national project led by the Centre for Programmable Photonic Integrated Circuits and Systems (CPPICS) at IIT Madras. The partnership marks an important step in strengthening India’s capabilities in advanced semiconductor and photonics technologies.
Silicon photonics is emerging as a key technology for next-generation high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, data centres and secure communication networks. By combining optical components with semiconductor manufacturing processes, the technology enables faster data transfer, lower power consumption and improved system efficiency.
As one of India’s leading photonics packaging specialists, izmo Microsystems said its participation in the programme reflects the country’s growing focus on building indigenous design, development and manufacturing expertise in critical technology areas. The company has developed specialised capabilities in sub-micron precision packaging, a highly technical process that connects advanced chip designs with commercial deployment. Packaging plays a central role in ensuring that photonic integrated circuits perform reliably in real-world environments while maintaining speed, accuracy and durability.
Dinanath Soni, Director of izmo Microsystems, said the company is honoured to partner with CPPICS at IIT Madras on a project of national importance. He noted that izmo Microsystems has made sustained investments in building advanced design and manufacturing infrastructure in India. He added that the collaboration is a strong endorsement of the company’s expertise in silicon photonics packaging.
Mr Soni further said global demand for high-speed, light-based computing systems is increasing rapidly, creating significant opportunities for Indian innovation. He stated that izmo Microsystems is well positioned to deliver world-class, locally developed solutions for domestic and international markets.
The partnership with IIT Madras is expected to contribute to India’s long-term ambitions in semiconductor self-reliance, deep technology innovation and strategic electronics manufacturing. It also supports broader national initiatives aimed at creating globally competitive technology products through domestic research and industrial collaboration.
