Raja Koduri Launches OXMIQ: GPU Innovation Meets India’s AI Dreams
The timing couldn’t be better for India’s semiconductor ambitions. With India pushing to become a semiconductor manufacturing and AI innovation hub through Digital India and India Semiconductor Mission, OXMIQ’s licensing-first model opens opportunities for Indian chipmakers and AI startups to access cutting-edge GPU technology.
OXMIQ’s Revolutionary Approach
Innovation | Impact | India Relevance |
---|---|---|
OXPython | CUDA apps on non-NVIDIA hardware | Cost-effective AI development |
OXCORE | Modular GPU architecture | Flexible Indian manufacturing |
OXQUILT | Chiplet scaling technology | Scalable data center solutions |
Software-First | Simplified deployment | Developer-friendly ecosystem |
Powering India’s Creative Revolution
Koduri’s connection to India runs deep through his collaboration with Mihira Visual Labs, co-founded with filmmaker SS Rajamouli. OXMIQ’s GPU IP will power Mihira’s cinematic AI platform, enabling Indian creators to tell global stories using AI-driven tools.
As Shobu Yarlagadda, Baahubali producer and Mihira co-founder, noted: “Raja’s early contributions helped shape our foundational vision of cinematic AI. Now with OXMIQ, he’s building the deep-tech infrastructure that powers our next chapter”.
Breaking Hardware Barriers
OXMIQ’s game-changing OXPython technology addresses a critical industry pain point. It allows Python-based NVIDIA CUDA AI applications to run on non-NVIDIA hardware without any code changes, potentially saving Indian companies millions in hardware costs.
The partnership with Tenstorrent demonstrates this vision. CEO Jim Keller praised OXPython’s ability to bring CUDA workloads to AI platforms like Wormhole and Blackhole, enhancing developer portability.
Strong Financial Backing
OXMIQ has raised $20 million in seed funding from technology investors, including MediaTek, with MediaTek’s Lawrence Loh highlighting the company’s “impressive bold vision and world-class team” that will drive compute flexibility across devices.
