Axiomise Turns 5!
On 17 October 2022, we turned five! With many firsts to its name in the last five years, Axiomise turned a corner today by completing five years since its inception. In the last five years, we trained nearly 200 engineers across the industry. We built the industry’s first vendor-neutral RISC-V formal verification solution with coverage and an intelligent debugger powered by the i-RADAR technology. We also floated the world’s first online formal verification training programme. We have been providing consulting & services to some of the best-known names in the top 20 semiconductor companies of the world.
Axiomise Grows Rapidly in 2022
Gurudutt (GD) Bansal and Neil Dunlop joined Axiomise in 2022. We continue to hire smart talent from across the world while growing our customer base. We opened new offices in the UK.

Axiomise Joins the ESD Alliance
On 11 October, Axiomise joined the ESD Alliance, a SEMI Technology community. “Verification is an increasingly critical part of system design,” adds Bob Smith, the ESD Alliance’s executive director. “We’re pleased Axiomise is now a member of our ecosystem and expect Ashish will quickly become a valued participant in our activities.”
Axiomise CEO, Dr Ashish Darbari said, “It’s important for companies of our size to be part of the thriving electronic system design community. The networking and educational events and technical programs offer us a platform to reinforce the value of formal verification in semiconductor design in the global electronics industry.”

DAC Pavillion Panel: Those Darn Bugs
One of the highlights of 59th DAC was the panel that attempted to answer whether bug eradication will ever become a reality. The video of the panel is available online and is a great watch. Brian Bailey of Semiconductor Engineering led panellists, including Axiomise’s Ashish Darbari on an exploration to find out why.
Cadence Theater Talk
With 8.8K views in the last three months, this has been a very popular talk on our YT channel. The talk was given in DAC 2022 at the Cadence Theatre in San Francisco. Find out how 32-bit and 64-bit cores are verified with formal verification using the Axiomise formalISA app.
Daniel Payne talks to Dr Ashish Darbari
He goes on with: What sets him apart is the unique combination of industry experience and a passion for all things formal. I look forward to following his career, and that of Axiomise for years to come, as they make verification more manageable by working smarter. You can read more about Ashish and Axiomise at SemiWiki.

We continue to verify new RISC-V processors using our automated app, give us a call if you would like a demo. Recently, our app was used to verify three RISC-V processors that were previously formally verified. We caught 30+ new bugs. Want to know more about how we did that? Read our blog. Our formal verification solution finds bugs in processors that have been previously verified with simulation and other formal verification groups.
Knowledge Hub
Check out our knowledge hub – a collection of whitepapers, webinars, conference presentations, and tutorial podcasts. Dr. Ashish Darbari talked to several world-leaders in verification last year in the podcast series.
