Phoenix-based ON Semi has been working with advisers in recent months to pursue Allegro, the people said, asking not to be identified because the matter is private. It's possible other suitors could emerge for Allegro and the company hasn't indicated whether it would be open to a potential sale, they added.
Semiconductor companies interested in bulking up their automotive capabilities could look at buying Allegro, the people said. A representative for ON Semi declined to comment. A representative for Allegro didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Allegro shares jumped as much as 12% in premarket trading in New York on Monday. The stock was up 2% this year through the end of February, giving the Manchester, New Hampshire-based company a market value of about $4.1 billion. ON Semi has fallen 25% in that time and is valued at $19.8 billion.
Last week, Allegro announced it was replacing its chief executive officer of almost three years, Vineet Nargolwala, with longtime executive Mike Doogue. Allegro's biggest shareholder is Japan's Sanken Electric Co., with a stake of about 32%, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Allegro develops advanced semiconductors, describing itself as a leader in power and sensing solutions for motion control and energy-efficient systems. The products are used in car engines and safety systems, as well as data centers and factories. On Semi also develops power and sensing technologies used in automotive, industrial and cloud-computing sectors.
Analysts have warned that automotive chipmakers could face sales pressure as the electric-vehicle market in the US slows under Donald Trump's administration.

GroomYourGram: The Profit-First Influencer Agency Rewriting India's Marketing Playbook
In a space often defined by vanity metrics and unpredictability, GroomYourGram has emerged as a refreshingly grounded and profitable force in influencer marketing. Founded five years ago, this Mumbai-based agency has worked with over 300 brands and powered more than 1,000 campaigns—ranging from beauty and skincare to automobile and finance. With a team of 32 operating out of its Lokhandwala office, GroomYourGram delivers not only scale but results. A core strength lies in its unparalleled access to India's creator economy. With a curated community of over 400,000 influencers and 10,000+ active campaign participants monthly, GroomYourGram helps brands like Juicy Chemistry, Tira Beauty, Pilgrim, and Dot & Key craft meaningful narratives. On the corporate front, the agency has driven HDFC Bank's LinkedIn growth strategy and supported pharma giants such as Cipla Health and Glenmark in awareness initiatives. From pioneering Instagram Reels marketing to being among the top 4 agencies for Moj, GroomYourGram has always anticipated trends before they broke mainstream. It has led campaigns with celebrities like Kiara Advani, Janhvi Kapoor, and Ranveer Singh for brands including Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Skoda Kylak, Pepe Jeans, Snitch, and Spykar. Spearheaded by Palak Tannaa, who commands a LinkedIn audience of over 62,000 professionals, the team combines creative ingenuity with data intelligence. Despite multiple investment offers, the agency continues to be self-funded—prioritizing vision over valuation. As a brand that has been profitable since Day One, GroomYourGram exemplifies what happens when influence meets intention. What sets the agency apart is its refusal to follow a one-size-fits-all strategy. Each campaign is customized—whether it's for a youth-centric fashion brand like Freakins or a global skincare label entering Tier II cities. Their campaigns aren't just viral—they're valuable. The agency's model blends strategy with scale. In a world saturated by content, it doesn't just amplify messages—it aligns them with audiences that matter. Fashion clients like Libas, Spykar, and Pepe Jeans see tailored influencer-led storytelling campaigns that go beyond 'likes' and drive brand lift. Healthcare and pharma clients get compliance-ready creativity, while finance brands benefit from thought leadership-led influencer models. Internally, the company operates like a startup but performs like an enterprise. Its operational agility allows quick campaign turnaround, while its in-house tech stack and talent pipeline ensure scalability without compromise. The company is in the process of rolling out an AI-powered influencer analytics tool to further help brands measure ROI and sentiment in real time. With its finger firmly on the cultural pulse, GroomYourGram is not just building campaigns—it's building a new marketing DNA for India's digital-first brands. As brands in India increasingly seek partners who can combine storytelling, performance, and trust, GroomYourGram is becoming the agency of choice—not just for creators and companies, but for the future of digital India. For Business Upturn readers who track growth-focused stories and high-ROI ventures, this isn't just about numbers.
