Semiconductor company Tessolve has secured USD 150 million in funding from leading global alternative asset management firm TPG, the company said on Monday.
Tessolve plans to use the additional capital to strengthen global delivery centers, expand advanced test labs and accelerate strategic acquisition as it looks to consolidate the company's position as a key enabler to the global and Indian semiconductor ecosystem.
TPG invested through TPG Growth, the firm's middle market and growth equity platform.
"Tessolve... has secured USD 150 million in funding from leading global alternative asset management firm TPG. This marks the largest fundraise for a semiconductor engineering services company in India," the company said in a statement.
Tessolve, Chairman, and Hero Electronix, Vice Chairman, Ujjwal Munjal said the investment is a significant milestone for Tessolve and a testament to Hero Electronix's vision to build leading technology ventures of global scale from India.
