About NXP Semiconductors
NXP Semiconductors has a design centre in India with sites in Bengaluru, Noida, Hyderabad and Pune. From India it runs a startup challenge, a startup programme and two student programmes, one of them a training course for women engineering students.
How the programmes work
The NXP India Tech Startup Challenge is a startup challenge run by NXP India. Press reports on its sixth season say applications ran from 17 February to 20 March 2026 and that the virtual grand finale was held on 28 May 2026. The top three winners share a cash prize, and the top 10 get equity-free incubation and pre-incubation support at partner institutions. NXP's own India pages do not mention the challenge, so these details come from press coverage.
NXP also runs a startup programme. Founders share their ideas with the programme's representatives by submitting a proposal through an online form. NXP's pages describe the programme's focus areas in two ways that do not match. One set names automotive, industrial, robotics and healthcare. The entry rules list a longer set that includes building and home automation, factory automation, AI and ML, edge computing, functional safety, low power and security.
Two student programmes sit alongside these. NXP's Women in Tech course is a year-long training course for the top 75 women engineering students it selects. Participants receive a scholarship for educational support and a certificate on completion. NXP Cup India, previously known as NXP AIM India, is a competition for engineering students, and its grand finale awards cash prizes.
Who can apply
The challenge is open to startups incorporated in India as Private Limited Companies with at least 51 percent Indian ownership. The startup programme asks for a registered business with a legal entity. Women in Tech is for women engineering students in the third semester of a B.E., B.Tech. or dual-degree course at a UGC or AICTE-approved college in India. NXP Cup India is for students aged 16 to 26 on 1 April of the competition year who study engineering at a registered Indian college.
Scale
NXP says its Centre of Excellence in India runs from four sites with more than 2,500 engineers. It says the centre focuses on innovations for the automotive, IoT, industrial and mobile markets, and it reports more than 500 patents. These are NXP's own figures for its India centre, not startups it has supported.
NXP's India page says its presence in India goes back more than 50 years. NXP's history page says NXP itself was established in 2006 and marked 20 years as a company in September 2026. The two pages give different dates for NXP's start, so both are stated here.
Who runs it
NXP's India page says the company was recognised as a Great Place to Work in July 2023.
Locations
NXP's India page lists sites in Bengaluru, Noida, Hyderabad and Pune.
