And that’s exactly why NextGen exists
For 15 years, Tarun worked as a physical design contractor for UK, European and American semiconductor companies.
Different companies. Different process nodes. Same message from clients:
“Are you free? We just need someone we can trust to get this done.”
Trust. Track record. Calm competence under pressure.
But there was a limit — there was only one Tarun.
Three years ago he asked a simple question:
How do you scale deep PD expertise without losing accountability?
The answer became NextGen Chip Design — a design services company built on two principles:
hands-on project leadership from someone who has done this for 25+ years- a scalable engineering team supporting RTL-to-GDSII delivery
Startups like the personal attention.
Larger semiconductor teams like the flexible capacity.
Everyone likes the absence of “big consultancy overhead”.
If you’re struggling to find trustworthy PD expertise — or just need a steady hand when schedules tighten — Tarun is always happy to talk.
