About Chip Design Academy

Chip Design Academy (CDA) is a specialized technology training and innovation institute focused on building industry-ready engineers in VLSI & Chip Design, Embedded Systems, Robotics, and Internet of Things (IoT).

Founded with a strong belief that practical skills matter more than certificates, CDA bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world engineering requirements. Our programs are designed to reflect actual industry workflows, tools, and problem-solving approaches used in professional silicon, embedded, and robotics projects.

Our Vision

To become a center of excellence for core engineering education, empowering students and professionals to design, build, and innovate real hardware systems that impact industry and society.

Our Mission

  • To deliver hands-on, industry-driven training in chip design and embedded technologies
  • To transform learners into confident, job-ready engineers
  • To promote a build-first mindset through real projects, labs, and prototyping
  • To support India's growing ecosystem in semiconductors, embedded systems, robotics, and edge computing
