A new semiconductor lifecycle company will provide spare parts, engineering services, application support, and lifecycle solutions to semiconductor manufacturers in India and around the world
Chandigarh, Punjab, India | July 10, 2026
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In a significant step toward strengthening India’s rapidly growing semiconductor industry, PurePlanet Global Ventures (PPGV) and Guru Nanak Global Foundation (GNGF) today announced the launch of Fab Guardians, a specialized semiconductor engineering and lifecycle support company dedicated to serving semiconductor manufacturers across India and global markets.
Fab Guardians has been established to address one of the industry’s most pressing challenges; the need for reliable, responsive, and cost-effective support throughout the operational lifecycle of semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
As governments and private industry invest billions of dollars in expanding semiconductor manufacturing capacity, the demand for independent engineering expertise, high-quality spare parts, equipment refurbishment, application engineering, and field services has never been greater. Fab Guardians has been created to bridge this gap.
The company will provide a comprehensive portfolio of services, including semiconductor spare parts, equipment maintenance, refurbishment, installation and commissioning, preventive and corrective maintenance, application engineering, process optimization, yield improvement, digital maintenance solutions, and lifecycle consulting for wafer fabrication facilities, advanced packaging operations, compound semiconductor manufacturers, research institutions, and equipment manufacturers.
With a strong engineering-led approach, Fab Guardians aims to become a trusted partner for customers seeking to maximize equipment uptime, improve manufacturing yield, reduce operating costs, and extend the life of critical semiconductor assets.
“India is entering a defining decade in semiconductor manufacturing. While new fabs and advanced manufacturing facilities are being established, there is an equally important need for a strong ecosystem that supports these facilities throughout their operational life. Fab Guardians has been created to become that trusted engineering partner; helping customers keep their fabs running efficiently, reliably, and competitively,” said Mr. Baljit Singh, Chairman of Fab Guardians.
Fab Guardians will initially establish operations in India while building a global sourcing and engineering network across North America, Europe, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, and other key semiconductor regions.
The company plans to support a broad range of semiconductor technologies, including silicon, silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), MEMS, photonics, sensors, advanced packaging, and power electronics.
Beyond spare parts and equipment services, Fab Guardians also plans to introduce AI-enabled predictive maintenance, remote diagnostics, digital equipment health monitoring, and advanced engineering consulting to help semiconductor manufacturers improve operational excellence.
The launch reflects the shared commitment of PurePlanet Global Ventures and Guru Nanak Global Foundation to advancing India’s technology ecosystem by creating globally competitive engineering capabilities, fostering innovation, supporting advanced manufacturing, and developing highly skilled technical talent.
Fab Guardians also intends to collaborate with universities, research organizations, equipment manufacturers, technology providers, and government agencies to strengthen semiconductor capabilities, encourage innovation, and build a resilient supply chain for the future.
