Tessolve, a semiconductor engineering services company majority-owned by Hero Electronix, raised $150 million from TPG Alternative Asset Management.

The funds will be used to strengthen global delivery centres, expand advanced test labs, and accelerate strategic acquisitions as the company seeks to cement its position as a key enabler of the global and Indian semiconductor ecosystems.

Key Highlights

• Tessolve secures a landmark $150 million from TPG Growth—the largest raise for an Indian semiconductor engineering firm.
