Chennai: Mindgrove Technologies, an IIT Madras–incubated semiconductor design company, has announced plans to commercially launch MG V2600, its second designed-in-India System on Chip (SoC), by late 2026.
MG V2600 is purpose-built for CCTV and surveillance applications where end-to-end security is a critical requirement, addressing rising global demand for truly secure vision chips.
MG V2600 Designed to Power Secure, Edge-Based Vision Applications
The MG V2600 supports edge AI by enabling AI-based video processing and decision-making directly on the chip, eliminating the need to transfer sensitive visual data to the cloud.
It is the first chip in a planned family of vision-focused SoCs aimed at handling advanced visual workloads across multiple use cases.

This family of chips is designed to support applications including secure CCTV systems, automotive dashcams and driver-assistance systems, machine vision for industrial automation, multi-input biometric access control, smart city surveillance, smart TVs, and connected consumer devices.
By enabling fast, on-device processing of visual data, MG V2600 facilitates real-time decision-making at the edge while significantly reducing reliance on cloud infrastructure.
Shashwath T R, Co-founder and CEO of Mindgrove Technologies, said that vision systems are increasingly becoming foundational to security, mobility, and industrial automation, driving a sharp rise in demand.
He noted that organisations are also becoming more conscious of technology provenance and data handling practices.
With the MG Vision series of SoCs, the company aims to address global demand for trusted alternatives in surveillance and vision-led systems by embedding security directly into the silicon, ensuring that visual data remains protected throughout capture and processing.

MG V2600 Aligned with Regulatory and Data Sovereignty Requirements
The announcement comes amid heightened regulatory scrutiny of connected surveillance and video infrastructure, alongside a broader global emphasis on data sovereignty, supply-chain resilience, and system integrity.
Designed for deployment in regulated and high-trust environments, MG V2600 is positioned for use in national infrastructure projects, enterprise security deployments, and large-scale commercial surveillance applications.
Commenting on the underlying technology, Sharan Srinivas J, Co-founder and CTO of Mindgrove Technologies, said that the MG Vision SoC series has been architected to handle complex vision workloads directly at the edge, where latency, reliability, and data security are critical.
He added that tight integration of compute, vision processing, and hardware-level security enables developers to build high-performance vision applications without exposing sensitive data to the cloud, improving system responsiveness while strengthening end-to-end security.
With the launch of MG V2600, Mindgrove Technologies continues to expand its silicon portfolio following the earlier introduction of Secure IoT, India’s first commercial-grade high-performance microcontroller.
Together, these products support the company’s mission to deliver secure, cost-effective, and globally competitive semiconductor solutions designed and developed in India.
