About PIVOT
Making VLSI education practical — from learning digital design to building real silicon. PIVOT is focused on bridging the gap between academic VLSI education and real semiconductor engineering through interactive learning, expert-led lectures, and hands-on silicon design experiences. We are proudly pioneering the effort to bring TinyTapeout to India, as SaralTapeout enabling students and professionals to design, tape out, and manufacture their own custom silicon chips. Currently we are in process of market study in India as tapeout involves huge cost.
To further our commitment to excellence in education, PIVOT is continuously expanding its collection of interactive learning tools and codelabs to deeply enhance the practical understanding of our students.
