Our Framework

Four Pillars of
Transformation

Rayza addresses India's semiconductor talent gap from every angle — from freshman curriculum redesign to advanced research labs.

01 / PILLAR

Curriculum Modernization

University syllabi lag industry by 5–10 years. We review, redesign, and realign VLSI coursework with how chips are actually built today — covering RTL, PD, verification, analog, and mixed-signal threads.

SystemVerilogUVM FundamentalsASIC Design FlowOpen-Source EDAAICTE / NEP 2020
02 / PILLAR

Faculty Upskilling

Faculty Development Programs that give professors direct, hands-on exposure to modern RTL, verification, and physical design workflows — taught by engineers who shipped real silicon.

Industry Design FlowsLab DevelopmentProject Mentorship3-Layer Delivery Model
03 / PILLAR

Lab Setup & Enablement

Affordable, scalable semiconductor labs for every engineering college — complete with lab manuals, EDA frameworks, and faculty training. Zero proprietary tool licenses required.

04 / PILLAR

Industry-Led Student Programs

Practical, project-based training covering RTL design, verification, microarchitecture, physical design, and AI hardware systems — mentored by architects from NVIDIA, Apple, and ARM.

CPU RTL Design
& Microarchitecture

A deep-dive into processor microarchitecture — from a clean 5-stage in-order pipeline to a full Tomasulo out-of-order execution engine. Students build and verify a real CPU in RTL, understanding every design decision that modern silicon teams face.
