What Industry Says about our CEO ?

Adnan Khan, ASIC Verification Engineer Says :

 Siva was my mentor and trainer at Maven Silicon where I underwent training for Verification. His immense knowledge of the domain and vast industry experience is the right mix for somebody who is responsible to impart knowledge. These qualities coupled with numerous contacts in the Semiconductor – EDA industry make him the right man to head a training organization like Maven Silicon. I wish Siva and Maven Silicon the very best for the future going forward 

Sunder Karthik, ON Semiconductor Says :

 Mr. Sivakumar is a performance oriented guide. In a short span of 1 year, he brought into action, a very dynamic curriculum to guide students in the field of VLSI Design and Verification at Maven Silicon. It is the duty of a teacher to help his students build a strong foundation and integrate from there on. I hired his services twice and thanks to the brilliant quality of education, not to be found anywhere else in India, the result is that I’m right now studying at one of the best institutes for VLSI research in the world. I wish a wonderful future to Mr. Sivakumar and his brainchild, Maven Silicon
