Tata Elxsi and Synopsys Collaborate to Accelerate Software-Defined Vehicle Development through Advanced ECU Virtualization Capabilities

Senior leaders of Tata Elxsi and Synopsys pose for lensemen after signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the SNUG India 2025 event in Bengaluru today to deliver advanced automotive virtualization solutions

The collaboration brings together Tata Elxsi’s engineering capabilities in embedded systems and integration with Synopsys’ industry-leading virtualization solutionsthat are used by more than 50 global automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to help reduce development complexity and cost, improve quality of software systems, and de-risk vehicle production timelines.

Tata Elxsi, a leading player in design and technology services, today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Synopsys, a leader in silicon to systems design solutions, to collaborate to deliver advanced automotive virtualization solutions. The MoU was signed at the SNUG India 2025 event in Bengaluru by senior leaders from both companies.

The collaboration will provide customers pre-verified, integrated solutions and services that make it easy to design and deploy virtual electronic control units (vECUs), a cornerstone technology critical for efficient software development and testing in today’s software-defined vehicles. The collaboration brings together Tata Elxsi’s engineering capabilities in embedded systems and integration with Synopsys’ industry-leading virtualization solutionsthat are used by more than 50 global automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to help reduce development complexity and cost, improve quality of software systems, and de-risk vehicle production timelines.

Together, the companies are already collaboratingon programs with several global customersto enablevECUs,as well as software bring-up, board support package (BSP) integration, and early-stage software validation. These solutions are being deployed across vehicle domains such as powertrain, chassis, body control, gateway, and central compute, helping customerssimulate real-world scenarios, validate software early, and reduce reliance on physical prototypes.

Through the collaboration, Synopsys and Tata Elxsi will further explore opportunities to scale and accelerate the deployment of electronics digital twins for multi-ECU and application specific systems.

“Our partnership with Synopsys reflects a future-forward response to how vehicle development is evolving. As OEMs move away from traditional workflows, there is growing demand for engineering services that are tightly integrated with virtualization tools. This strategic collaboration enables us to jointly address that shift with focus, flexibility, and domain depth,” said SundarGanapathi, Chief Technology Officer of Automotive, Tata Elxsi.

“The automotive industry’stransformation to software-defined vehicles requires advanced virtualizationcapabilities from silicon to systems. Our leadership enabling automotive electronics digital twins, combined with Tata Elxsi’sengineering scale and practical experience operationalisingautomotive system design,will simplifythe adoption of virtual ECUs and thereby accelerate software development and testing to improvequality and time to market,” said Marc Serughetti, Vice President, Synopsys Product Management & Markets Group.
