// About
We build the engineers who build the chips.
MasterVLSI started in 2015 as a small mentor circle. A decade later we've trained 5000+ engineers across India, the US, Europe and APAC. We obsess over one outcome: getting you into a real VLSI role at a real company in record time.
Our mission
Make world-class VLSI education accessible, hands-on, and outcome-driven — for every serious engineer regardless of pedigree.
Our vision
Become the global default for chip-design talent training by 2030, with alumni shipping silicon at every major foundry-bound company.
Our values
Honest mentorship. No shortcuts. Career-long support. We pick up the call after you've graduated, signed and shipped.
Our proof
5000+ alumni at 30+ marquee silicon companies. 4.9★ average Google review across 200+ verified reviewers.

// Methodology
How a MasterVLSI cohort actually runs.
We don't believe in tutorial-style learning. Every concept is taught against a real artifact you build — a UART, a DMA, a 32-bit pipelined adder, a floorplan, a UVM testbench. By the end of the cohort, you have not a certificate — a portfolio.
Live, capped batches
Max 12 students. Cameras on. Mentor knows your name and your last bug.
Lab-first delivery
We open the EDA tool before opening a slide. Theory follows the keystroke.
Graded weekly labs
Every assignment is reviewed line-by-line. No 'completion' — only quality.
1-on-1 design reviews
Senior engineers review your RTL/testbench like a real PR — comments, requested changes, sign-off.
// Industry tools
You'll graduate on the same EDA stack your manager uses.
// Honest comparison
MasterVLSI vs a typical bootcamp.
// Timeline
A decade etched in silicon.
2015
Founded
Started as a 12-student weekend cohort in Bengaluru with two senior engineers and a borrowed lab.
2017
First Intel offer
An alumna joins Intel's DV team — our first marquee placement and our first written testimonial.
2018
1000+ Alumni
Crossed our first major milestone with curated cohorts across DV, RTL and PD tracks.
2020
24/7 Online Lab
Pivoted to remote-first with full EDA tool access for every enrolled student, no geographic limits.
2022
Services arm launched
Began delivering NDA-grade RTL & DV engagements to fabless startups in addition to training.
2023
5000+ engineers placed
Across Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Synopsys, Cadence and 25 more.
2026
Global Cohort
Students from 14 countries learning live with us, with placement support across India, US and APAC.
