SEALSQ and Kaynes SemiCon have signed a time period sheet to create SEALKAYNESQ, a three way partnership (JV) aimed toward establishing India’s first safe semiconductor design and personalisation centre.
The JV will see SEALSQ take a 51% stake, with Kaynes SemiCon holding the remaining 49%. Each corporations will share governance via a five-member board. SEALSQ is a subsidiary of WISeKey Worldwide.
WISeKey and SEALSQ will licence mental property (IP) solely to the JV. Any new IP generated can be owned by SEALKAYNESQ.
The ability can be primarily based at Kaynes SemiCon’s manufacturing web site, specializing in superior semiconductor take a look at and personalisation companies that meet widespread standards requirements.
The centre will combine public key infrastructure (PKI) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) personalisation, concentrating on compliance with nationwide safety rules and delivering options for important infrastructure sectors.
Kaynes SemiCon CEO Raghu Panicker mentioned: “This collaboration is a testomony to our dedication to place India on the worldwide semiconductor map. At Kaynes SemiCon, now we have accelerated each step from design to prototype to mass manufacturing, driving India’s ambition to realize semiconductor self-reliance.”
SEALSQ intends to convey PQC-ready chips, safe parts, crypto-processor IPs, PKI lifecycle platforms (INeS), VaultIC {hardware} safety modules, QS7001, and QVault-TPM post-quantum safe processors to the partnership.
These parts are designed to supply chip-level PQC personalisation and assist deployment in finance, healthcare, authorities, defence, and IoT environments working below Indian nationwide safety necessities.
A key goal is the native deployment of the SEALSQ Quantum Defend semiconductor, which is engineered for post-quantum safety resilience.
SEALSQ CEO Carlos Moreira mentioned: “This partnership with Kaynes SemiCon leverages SEALSQ’s experience in constructing superior semiconductor personalisation and design to enter India’s vibrant market via a trusted native producer.”
This collaboration aligns with India’s semiconductor technique and international provide chain safety initiatives. It’s also anticipated to learn from the Swiss–India Free Commerce Settlement signed after 16 years of negotiations.
The settlement grants customs reduction to 94.7% of Swiss exports to India, enabling price reductions for imported semiconductor tools, know-how, and parts.
Kaynes SemiCon’s mum or dad firm, Kaynes Know-how India, recorded trailing 12-month income of $340m as of mid-September 2025 and has a market capitalisation of $5.44bn.
