From Hyderabad’s growing tech hub, Silicon Labs’ 50% facility expansion signals deeper collaboration between the US and India, boosting wireless R&D.
Silicon Labs has expanded its Hyderabad operations, increasing its footprint in the city by 50 per cent. The new facility was inaugurated in a ceremony attended by Laura E. Williams, US Consul General in Hyderabad, alongside senior executives from the company on March 2, 2026.
The expansion adds advanced laboratories and collaboration spaces to support wireless design, validation and system integration, while also enabling continued hiring.
“Hyderabad has become a critical hub in our global engineering and operations footprint,” said Matt Johnson, President and CEO of Silicon Labs. “This expansion is a long-term investment in talent, innovation, and global collaboration. It strengthens our ability to deliver secure, power-efficient wireless solutions to customers worldwide while deepening the collaboration of our teams across the United States, Europe, and Asia.”
Since establishing its Hyderabad site in 2020, Silicon Labs has tripled its India-based workforce, broadening capabilities across research and development, engineering, product operations, sales and IT.
“Scaling our Hyderabad site is about building more capacity for invention and execution,” said Manish Kothari, Senior Vice President of Software Development. “With new labs and collaboration space, this facility strengthens Hyderabad’s role as a core R&D centre for Silicon Labs, including expanded work across hardware and wireless development.”
The company acknowledged that the presence of the US Consul General at the opening highlighted the significance of US-India cooperation in technology and economic growth. “The continued growth of US technology investment in India reflects the deep collaboration between our two countries,” said Williams.
Executives, including Dean Butler, Chief Financial Officer; Radhika Chennakeshavula, Chief Information Officer; and Nestor Ho, Chief Legal Officer, joined Johnson and Kothari at the event.
