In addition to Peak XV, Yali Deeptech, and TDK Ventures, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is among the company's backers.
C2i Semiconductors, a Bengaluru-based semiconductor startup, raised $15 million in Series A funding in February 2026. The company is developing innovative power management solutions that deliver electricity more efficiently from the grid directly to GPUs in AI data centers.
The round was led by Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia India), with participation from Yali Deeptech and TDK Ventures. Notably, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is among the company's backers, signaling strong industry validation.
C2i takes a grid-to-GPU approach to power delivery, redesigning how electricity flows from the power grid to processors inside data centers. Current power delivery systems lose significant energy through multiple conversion stages. C2i aims to reduce these losses, improving efficiency and reducing cooling requirements.
As AI data centers scale rapidly, power delivery has become a critical bottleneck. Data centers consume enormous amounts of electricity, and even small efficiency improvements translate to massive cost savings and reduced environmental impact. C2i is well-positioned at the intersection of the semiconductor and AI infrastructure markets.
