Recently, it was reported that Enfabrica, a pioneer in the field of AI networking, announced that it will successfully set up an R&D center in Hyderabad, India. This initiative aims to leverage India's local technological advantages to further expand its global business footprint and accelerate innovation and breakthroughs in AI network technology.
Enfabrica specializes in AI network R&D, and its self-invented Accelerated Computing Fabric (ACF) chip, which can efficiently scale GPU/accelerator clusters, is influential in the industry. With the addition of its R&D center in India, Enfabrica plans to expand its world-class engineering team to advance the development of chips and software products. This will not only enable the company to create more advanced AI networking products, but also better meet the urgent need for high-performance AI networking solutions in the global market.
With the rapid development of generative AI, AI infrastructure is facing serious challenges. How to find the best balance between scale expansion and total cost of ownership has become an urgent problem for the industry. Enfabrica offers a solution to this challenge with its 3.2 terabits per second ACF SuperNIC chip. Claimed to be the world's fastest, most resilient and scalable GPU network interface controller chip, it can provide powerful high-performance support for GPU clusters of different sizes, greatly simplifying network design and effectively reducing costs.

India is gaining prominence in the global AI space. India's AI market has shown explosive growth in recent years, and is expected to reach $8 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of more than 40% from 2020 to 2025. India has an advanced digital public infrastructure that provides a solid foundation for the widespread expansion of modern AI applications. Many local enterprises and startups have actively explored various fields of AI technology, covering natural language processing, computer vision, machine learning and other aspects, and have achieved a series of remarkable results.
As a major technology city in India, Hyderabad has a vibrant academic community with a large number of talented engineers and developers. These talent resources are designed to meet the stringent performance and scalability requirements of AI and accelerated computing workloads. By choosing to locate its R&D center, Enfabrica will leverage local talent to develop innovative solutions that are more relevant to the needs of the generative AI era.
Founded in 2020, Enfabrica was co-founded by Silicon Valley veterans Rochan Sankar, Shrijeet Mukherjee, and key engineers with extensive experience at companies such as Broadcom, Google, Cisco, Amazon, and Intel. Recently, the company not only announced the general availability of the 3.2 terabits per second ACF SuperNIC chip, but also successfully completed a $115 million Series C funding round, bringing the company's total funding to $260 million. Enfabrica is currently actively recruiting across multiple engineering disciplines to support the development of products and applications to solidify its leadership in AI networking.
The opening of Enfabrica's R&D center in India is an important step in its global strategy. In the future, with the continuous development of the Indian AI market and the continuous innovation of Enfabrica technology, it is expected to bring more surprises and changes to the global AI network field and promote the in-depth application of AI technology in various industries.
