SEALSQ and Kaynes SemiCon have signed a time period sheet to create SEALKAYNESQ, a three way partnership (JV) geared 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 by 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 might be owned by SEALKAYNESQ.
The power might be primarily based at Kaynes SemiCon’s manufacturing web site, specializing in superior semiconductor check and personalisation providers that meet frequent standards requirements.
The centre will combine public key infrastructure (PKI) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) personalisation, concentrating on compliance with nationwide safety laws and delivering options for essential 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 deliver 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 Protect 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 by a trusted native producer.”
This collaboration aligns with India’s semiconductor technique and international provide chain safety initiatives. It is usually anticipated to profit from the Swiss–India Free Commerce Settlement signed after 16 years of negotiations.
The settlement grants customs aid to 94.7% of Swiss exports to India, enabling price reductions for imported semiconductor tools, know-how, and parts.
Kaynes SemiCon’s guardian firm, Kaynes Expertise India, recorded trailing 12-month income of $340m as of mid-September 2025 and has a market capitalisation of $5.44bn.
The corporate gives outsourced semiconductor meeting and check providers from its Sanand, Gujarat facility.
