Solid Sands is expanding its footprint in India, teaming up with Bengaluru-based GSAS Micro Systems to bring localized engineering support to its SuperTest and SuperGuard safety qualification suites.
For engineering teams working on safety-critical projects, proving the reliability of the actual toolchain is non-negotiable. That is exactly the gap Solid Sands fills. The SuperTest suite handles the rigorous validation of almost any compiler configuration from modern open-source to legacy systems. Meanwhile, SuperGuard steps in to manage requirements-based safety qualification for standard C and C++ libraries.
Partnering with GSAS makes strong strategic sense for the region. Since 2010, the embedded electronics specialist has built a solid footprint across India’s major technology hubs. They know the functional safety landscape inside and out, offering hands-on tool qualification and compliance support for strict industry standards like ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and DO-178C.
By bringing GSAS into the fold, Solid Sands can offer direct, on-the-ground integration, application engineering, and technical training.
Ultimately, this partnership connects Indian developers with the exact tools needed to hit aggressive compliance targets without the friction of remote support. Whether a team is building automotive software, industrial robotics, or proving out semiconductor compilers, they now have a local heavyweight backing their safety qualification process.
Leadership Comments
Marianne Damstra, CEO of Solid Sands, comments: “India has a substantial embedded software and semiconductor engineering community, including organizations developing safety- and mission-critical systems. Compiler and library qualification is a specialist field, 
so it was important for us to work with a partner that combines knowledge of development tools with practical functional safety expertise. GSAS gives us that expertise on the ground and an established engineering presence across India.”
Anvesh Gopalam, Executive Director, GSAS Group, comments: “Qualification cannot be separated from the toolchain and configuration actually used to build the application. Solid Sands adds specialist compiler and standard library qualification technology to the tools and functional safety expertise we already provide, enabling us to support Indian development teams with objective evidence about the C and C++ toolchains they depend on.”
