Investor Backing & Capital Strength:
SoftBank’s 2024 acquisition and subsequent funding provide substantial capital and a stronger platform for renewed development. Announced initiatives such as up to £1 billion over ten years in India and plans to significantly expand UK headcount indicate deep-pocketed support.
Market Expansion:
New locations, including an AI engineering campus in Bengaluru and a Taipei office opened in 2026, extend the company’s presence in key semiconductor and talent hubs. These moves point to continued international expansion under SoftBank ownership.
Strong Hiring & Retention:
Hiring re-accelerated with 75 new roles in November 2024 (about a 20% workforce increase) across silicon, hardware, software, infrastructure, and AI research. Plans to create 500 semiconductor jobs in India and to double UK headcount to roughly 750 signal a concerted build-out of engineering capacity.
