Press Release Body = Bangalore, Aug 13, 2007: SoftJin Technologies, a customized
EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tool development company, announced that it is
adopting a hybrid model composed of outsourced R&D services and EDA Products. The
outsourced R&D services are targeted to the Semiconductor Design and Manufacturing
market and include EDA software development, High Performance FPGA based Design and
Design Verification services for the semiconductor industry. SoftJin's EDA Products
are in the area of Post Layout Design Data Processing and EDA tools for Programmable
Platforms.

According to Nachiket Urdhwareshe, CEO, SoftJin Technologies," The management of
SoftJin took a conscious decision to firmly adopt a hybrid business model. As per
the hybrid model, we are developing our own licensable Products and technologies in
addition to continuing with customized design and development services to our
customers in the semiconductor space. We believe these are complementary business
strategies and enable us to maximally leverage our competencies to grow the
business."

Among the notable customer wins in the outsourced R&D services business, the company
has set-up an Off-Shore Development Center (ODC) in India for Cswitch Corporation, a
semiconductor company developing high performing configurable solutions for the
networking, storage, wireless base station and telecom markets. Cswitch's solution
offers performance levels approaching an ASIC, including a bandwidth up to 100Gbps,
and the configurability of an FPGA. As per the agreement, SoftJin will have a
dedicated team developing a variety of System tools, User tools and provide other
design related services for Cswitch's Configurable Switch Array.

Commented Godfrey D'Souza Vice-president - Engineering, Cswitch "We chose SoftJin to
