About Morphing Machines
Morphing Machines is a fabless semiconductor startup incubated at the Indian Institute of Science, building REDEFINE, a runtime-reconfigurable many-core processor that can shift between CPU-style and GPU-style work on demand. The technology grew out of years of IISc research and early projects for DRDO and Safran. Dr Ranjani Narayan co-founded the Bengaluru company with S K Nandy and Deepak Shapeti, and its Series A round in 2025 raised about Rs 38 crore to build and test its first chip for data centres and AI workloads.
