“Forget Arduino & ESP32 | India’s Own Microcontroller Has Arrived 🇮🇳”

Did you know India is quietly building its own microprocessors, just like Arduino or ESP32—but entirely homegrown?

In this video, we explore India’s indigenous RISC-V semiconductor ecosystem, powered by the Digital India RISC-V (DIR-V) Programme and driven by the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.

You’ll learn:

Why moving away from proprietary architectures like ARM and Intel matters for national security, cost, and innovation

How India, which consumes ~20% of the world’s microprocessors and produces ~20% of global chip design talent, is leveraging open-source RISC-V

A clear breakdown of India’s major processors:

SHAKTI (IIT Madras) – strategic & defence systems

AJIT (IIT Bombay) – industrial and robotics applications

VIKRAM (ISRO–SCL) – radiation-hardened space processor

THEJAS64 & DHRUV64 (C-DAC) – industrial, 5G, automotive & IoT

DHANUSH64 / DHANUSH64+ – upcoming SoC platforms

How students and makers can start today using ARIES development boards—available for around ₹1,000

The difference between:

ET1031 (32-bit) for DIY projects and smart meters

AS4161 (64-bit quad-core) for Linux laptops and servers

And finally, India’s roadmap toward octa-core processors by 2026, positioning the country as a global RISC-V hub

Whether you’re a student, engineer, maker, or tech enthusiast, this video explains why India’s chip journey is not just about silicon—but about sovereignty, scale, and the future of computing.

Stay Tuned & Be Curious.
