About C-DAC
The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) is an autonomous scientific society under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. Set up in 1988 in response to technology-denial regimes, it was created to build India's own supercomputing capability under the leadership of Dr. Vijay Bhatkar.
Today it stands as a key national R&D organisation for IT, electronics, and related fields, with a presence in 11 cities. Its work includes the VEGA microprocessors, India's first indigenous 64-bit RISC-V processor, along with AI-enabled solutions, healthcare systems, and quantum-computing tools, and it runs the Advanced Computing Training School, which offers diplomas in advanced computing and software development across the country. C-DAC plays a strategic part in national technology development spanning high-performance computing, AI, cybersecurity, and multilingual computing.
Technology startups, researchers, and enterprises wanting to collaborate on advanced computing, AI, cybersecurity, and deep-tech projects benefit from its capabilities, as do professionals taking its advanced-computing courses. It is online at cdac.in.
