  • eSim Camp at Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management, Mangaluru
    The eSim Research Migration Camp was conducted by the eSim Team, for the invited institution,Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management, Mangaluru. The session was delivered simultaneously across four classrooms, reaching approximately 200 attendees including coordinators, class teachers, faculty members and staff. The primary speaker, Shri. Varad Patil, conducted a detailed discussion on the eSim Research Migration Project, provided practical exposure to the eSim software, explained internship opportunities and actively engaged in doubt solving sessions to clarify participants queries. The valuable presence and support of Mr. Sumanto Kar and Ms. Shanthi Priya were sincerely acknowledged. Special thanks were extended to the Faculty Convener, Dr. Anush Bekal, Professor & Head, Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering, for his presence and for hosting the program, along with appreciation to all class coordinators for effectively managing the session across the four classrooms.

  • eSim Team Visits IIT Guwahati and IIIT Guwahati

    During the recent visit of the eSim team to IIT Guwahati and IIIT Guwahati, Mr. Sumanto Kar discussed meaningful academic and technical interactions focused on the growing importance of eSim software in the education and research ecosystem.

    During talk, Mr. Sumanto Kar elaborated on the significance of eSim EDA (Electronic Design Automation) as a powerful open source platform that supports circuit design, simulation, and hands-on learning. He explained how eSim EDA aligns with the FOSSEE vision by providing students and educators with a robust, cost-effective tool for electronics design and experimentation without reliance on proprietary systems.

    The discussions further explored how integrating eSim EDA within academic curricula can strengthen practical learning, enable research driven projects and foster collaboration between institutions and industry. The interactive sessions encouraged students and faculty to adopt open-source technologies, reinforcing the importance of self-reliant and innovation driven education ecosystems.

    The visit by Mr. Sumanto Kar behalf of eSim team strengthened academic industry collaboration and opened new avenues for integrating advanced eSim software solutions within premier institutions like IIT Guwahati and IIIT Guwahati.

  • MIT World Peace University DevConf 2026 in Pune
    At MIT World Peace University DevConf 2026 in Pune, Mr. Sumanto Kar from the FOSSEE project at IIT Bombay delivered a session titled “eSim: Building an Open-Source EDA Ecosystem for Edu, R&D, and Community Innovation.” The talk introduced eSim as a fully open-source Electronic Design Automation (EDA) toolchain for analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit simulation, built on established FOSS tools such as ngspice, KiCad, GHDL, and Verilator. He presented a technical overview of eSim’s architecture, simulation workflows, portability across environments, and its evolving AI-assisted capabilities aimed at improving usability and debugging. The session also highlighted how open-source EDA tools can support education, research, and community driven innovation, while aligning with national initiatives such as the Indian Semiconductor Mission and broader open digital infrastructure efforts.

  • eSim Camp at JSPM's Jayawantrao Sawant College of Engineering
    The eSim Camp was successfully conducted at JSPM's Jayawantrao Sawant College of Engineering, located at Survey No. 58, Indrayani Nagar, Handewadi Road, Hadapsar, Pune – 411028, Maharashtra.

    We sincerely appreciate the presence and support of the Principal, Dr. Patil Pradeep, and the Head of the Department (Electronics and Telecommunication), Dr. Chandraprabha Manjare, for their continuous coordination and encouragement throughout the event. Their guidance and cooperation were instrumental in ensuring the smooth execution of the camp.

    The session was delivered by Mr. Sumanto Kar, Assistant Project Manager, FOSSEE, IIT Bombay, who provided detailed insights into eSim and its open-source workflow. The camp included a hands-on session where students gained practical exposure to circuit design and simulation using eSim. Various academic, research, and project opportunities that can be explored through eSim were also discussed. We extend our sincere gratitude towards Shri. Varad Patil for coordinating and facilitating communication with the college.
