Customers Speak

  • Meenu provided us a training session on ASIC concepts. The course covered all the aspects of ASIC development. The course was designed in a way to make even a person remotely connected with VLSI design to understand stages involved in ASIC design from Specification till production. I noticed that since Meenu has worked on almost all aspects of ASIC design she was able to deliver this training very effectively to a novice or an expert in this field. Some of the best were - it was very well upto date with current technology used in VLSI and ASIC design. - it had exercises of medium complexity to make the concepts clear. - it was customized as per our requirements.

  • When I was still serving at Global Foundries Singapore, the company engaged Meenu to conduct regular seminars on the ASIC design flow and supply chain. I found that she possesses deep insight and timely intelligence of the semiconductor industry due to her large network of contacts with the industry players. Her clear and personable delivery style also encourages active participation from the audience.
