Research overview
Cadence Design Systems is a US-based electronic design automation (EDA) company that makes software, hardware and IP used to design semiconductors, systems-on-chip, printed circuit boards, and molecular/drug-design tools. Founded 1983, headquartered in San Jose, California. Listed on NASDAQ as CDNS. Anirudh Devgan has been President and CEO since December 2021. Per Wikipedia (reflecting 2021 figures), the company reported roughly 9,300 employees and about $3B in revenue that year; on-file figures of ~$5.3B revenue and ~12,498 global headcount reflect more recent growth but could not be independently verified against a current primary source within this session.
- India launch
- 1986
- Maturity
- Innovation & R&D Hub
Cadence's India entity has been incorporated since 1986 and Cadence is fundamentally an engineering-product company (EDA software, chip IP), so its India operations are widely understood to center on core product R&D and engineering rather than back-office/shared services; treated as a reasoned estimate rather than a confirmed fact.
Location rationale
Not independently sourced this session. Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Noida are established Indian hubs for semiconductor design, VLSI, and embedded-software engineering talent, aligning with Cadence's core EDA/chip-design-tool R&D work - but no company statement explaining location choices could be retrieved this session.
Timeline
- 1986-12-01
Cadence Design Systems (India) Private Limited incorporated in Bengaluru, Karnataka (CIN U30007KA1986PTC080807).

A separate India entity, Cadence Design Systems (Sales) India Private Limited (CIN U72200KA2011PTC060999), was incorporated in Bengaluru.
Leadership context
Could not be reliably confirmed this session. On-file records list Alok Jain (Corporate Vice President, R&D, and India Managing Director). Corporate registry records for Cadence Design Systems (India) Private Limited (via Zaubacorp/MCA, last filed AGM Sept 2023) list the statutory Managing Director as Jaswinder Singh Ahuja, alongside directors Mukul Mathur, Dean Masato Ozawa, and Arnold Foster Jensen - with no 'Alok Jain' appearing in that filing. Could be a business-title vs. statutory-role distinction or an unreflected leadership change; not confirmed with an independent current source within this session.
Real estate
Registered office (Zaubacorp/MCA): Level 1, 2 & 3, Campus 4A & 4B, RMZ Ecoworld, Sarjapur-Marathahalli, Outer Ring Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560103. Sales affiliate registered office: Ground Floor, Bay Area (adjacent to Building 6A), Outer Ring Road, Devarabeesanahalli Village, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560103. Hyderabad, Noida, and Pune presence could not be independently verified with facility-level detail this session.
