Silicon Labs announced the expansion of its facility in Hyderabad, increasing the site’s footprint by approximately 50 percent and adding laboratories and operational space to support engineering and wireless technology development. The expansion was inaugurated on 2 March 2026 during a ceremony attended by Laura E. Williams, U.S. Consul General in Hyderabad, and members of the company’s executive leadership.
The expansion adds advanced laboratories for wireless design, validation and system integration, along with additional collaboration areas to support cross-functional engineering teams. The infrastructure is intended to support continued hiring and strengthen development capabilities across software, hardware and wireless connectivity technologies.
“Hyderabad has become a critical hub in our global engineering and operations footprint,” said Matt Johnson, President and CEO of Silicon Labs. “This expansion is a long-term investment in talent, innovation, and global collaboration. It strengthens our ability to deliver secure, power-efficient wireless solutions to customers worldwide while deepening the collaboration of our teams across the United States, Europe, and Asia.”
Silicon Labs established operations in Hyderabad in 2020 and has since more than tripled its India-based workforce, expanding technical and operational capabilities across research and development (R&D), engineering, product management, operations, sales, technical marketing and information technology functions.
“Scaling our Hyderabad site is about building more capacity for invention and execution,” said Manish Kothari, Senior Vice President of Software Development. “With new labs and collaboration space, this facility strengthens Hyderabad’s role as a core R&D center for Silicon Labs, including expanded work across hardware and wireless development.”
Executives attending the inauguration included Johnson, Chief Financial Officer Dean Butler, Senior Vice President of Software Development Manish Kothari, Chief Information Officer Radhika Chennakeshavula and Chief Legal Officer and Vice President of Government Affairs and Public Policy Nestor Ho.
Silicon Labs develops low-power wireless connectivity technologies and embedded semiconductor solutions used in applications including smart home systems, industrial Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, the company operates in more than 16 countries.
