I hope this review will help whoever is interested in investing in Scientific Technology Analog AI processors in Bangalore.
First of all please check very carefully the board on which the demo is given or planned is really mounted with proper Silicon.
Make sure it should not be with the label of company and inside you might find it is raspberry pi OR Arduino and you will be a fool as software is running on their silicon but in reality, it is not.
The second check is messages were not just printed with printf() statements but really a Math has done and then values were displayed.
Some AI analog startup Silicon company has taped out a minimum of 5 times but in reality, if you compare the 2 recent versions you will not find any difference then why the tape out was done.
Maybe it was for marketing or to be in the news or to give a message that lots of work have been done etc. confusing, you find out the answer.
If you carefully analyze the silicon, basic 3rd party peripheral IPs are in a buggy state, some of them working, some not working, just ask for the data and run all in front of your eyes.
Now you will see what talent is behind this fantastic technology, enquire about the engineers.
In the Bangalore office more than 50% of the staff you will find management own villages, relatives, friends, etc.
When you do such a type of staffing then it is obviously difficult to find technically fit so most of them are diplomas and trained for survival.
This is the reason there is no bad review of this company anywhere.
One trend you will find just enquiring 2 to 3 years of history, they don’t retain employees for more than a few months, they try to get as much as possible then mostly they are fired or asked to leave.
hardly anyone served the notice period.
This happens in 2 cases, if anyone questions about silicon then he/she must be fired as they don’t want any negative news about silicon.
Management is so clever they conduct interviews just to gain knowledge by asking the work-related questions, few times in a month this knowledge gain festival is arranged. I don’t consider it negative but it helps to judge character.
Management is desperately looking for some investment, this is commonly heard nowadays ”Let’s engage someone”, once one is engaged then they will bring another just to save their own money. Funny?
After all, this is enough to open your eyes.
I wish you all the best, you must invest if the evaluation results are up to your expectations.
Evaluate each and every part of the silicon in front of your eyes, do not trust anyone. Written review as if all is good then no issue but if anything wrong then it spoils the startup’s images and our own country India.
Jai Hind.
