Sophrosyne Tech Raises $2 Million to Scale Biosensing Semiconductor
- Sophrosyne Technologies secures $2 million in seed funding led by Bluehill.VC
- MeitY DLI grant of $1.2 million strengthens its deep-tech roadmap
- Funds to speed up silicon development, hiring, and early customer deployments
Semiconductor startup Sophrosyne Technologies has raised $2 million in a seed round led by Bluehill.VC, giving the Bengaluru-based deep-tech company fresh momentum as it moves from prototype silicon to full-scale product development. The company also recently cleared technical diligence and secured a $1.2 million MeitY DLI grant, further validating its technology and roadmap.
The new capital will support the expansion of its silicon design and firmware teams, accelerate global OEM partnerships, and enable early deployments in India and international markets. Founded in 2022 by Manish Srivastava and Jatin Gupta, Sophrosyne builds advanced biosensing system-on-chips (SoCs) for wearable and digital-health devices.
Its integrated architecture combines analog signal acquisition, power management, and software support to help manufacturers build more precise and energy-efficient health-monitoring products. The company is developing a unified multi-vital biosensing SoC capable of measuring ECG, PPG, respiration, temperature, and other signals with high accuracy while consuming very low power. By consolidating multiple sensing functions into one chip, Sophrosyne aims to make wearables smaller, more capable, and better suited for continuous health tracking.
