• boAt and HrdWyr launch Indus 1011, a chip designed entirely in India for intelligent battery management.
• The chip will power boAt’s premium TWS charging cases, set to launch early next year.
• Tata Electronics supports local assembly, packaging and testing reducing reliance on global supply chains.

In a major step for India’s tech ecosystem, consumer electronics brand boAt has joined hands with semiconductor start up HrdWyr to launch Indus 1011. It is a fully indigenous smart chip designed and developed in India. The chip will debut in boAt’s upcoming high end true wireless stereo (TWS) charging cases.

Designed entirely by HrdWyr, the Indus 1011 focuses on intelligent battery management using advanced low power and high reliability features. It is tailored for high volume consumer electronics and includes AI capabilities, making it a next gen semiconductor or AISoC (AI System on Chip).

boAt contributed real world consumer insights, helping HrdWyr create chip features that address pain points such as battery life, overheating, and charging time. HrdWyr developed new IPs using a data first approach, bringing smart innovations at the hardware level.

Tata Electronics played a crucial role by supporting the chip’s assembly, packaging, and testing, all done within India. This makes the Indus 1011 one of the first chips in the country to be fully designed, packaged, and prepared for market domestically.

Sameer Mehta, Co-founder and CEO of boAt, said the move shows how Indian brands can lead innovation at the chip level. “We’re proving that true product differentiation starts at the semiconductor level, and we can achieve this in India”, he said.

HrdWyr’s Co-founder and CEO, Ramamurthy Sivakumar, called the partnership a sign of India’s growing strategic autonomy. “Fabless product companies like HrdWyr are key to building India’s semiconductor strength”, he said.

This collaboration signals a major shift towards self-reliance in tech, showcasing that India can innovate at the core of technology from design to deployment.
