Your thoughts on: India making strides in becoming a semi conductor export hub and Fabs. Fabs per se may employ less people but the far reaching secondary/tertiary supplier network and the entire ecosystem that AAPL (or in future at some point. TSLA) will create/foster is worthy enough of taking this seriously for India+Vietnam++ to be counted as a counter balance to China+1 strategy. https://lnkd.in/gWqRUcC7

"Standardization" in manufacturing, often viewed peripherally is a criticality, more so in terms of electronics. It is a pivotal issue for development, acceptance of products and associated scales of production. The main difference between the international and national standards is perhaps in the scope, with the former looking at consistency and the latter being need specific. For India’s burgeoning electronics sector, which has set course to become a significant player in the electronics export market, adopting standards is instrumental in harmonizing products and processes across borders. Sharing my piece on this very important issue in The Economic Times today.

Core Engineering GCC in India Low hanging fruits to get started off – PCB designs & Library Management, TCO (Total Cost Optimization). These 2 portfolio skills can be a good jump-start for revenue generation. Pre-requisite: Have deep knowledge, strong product fundamentals and a good vendor-partner ecosystem before launching these services. Common Misconceptions: Product TCO is not the art of changing existing suppliers with low-cost ones to reduce the BOM cost there by increase margins! VAVE & TCO needs to be looked more organically & holistically. TCO in PCBs is just not re-designing layouts with same form-factor or reduce layer count or change vendor or PCB material to achieve cost reduction. The myth of TCO as established in the early years of “outsourced engineering” is cost take out (cheap labor, cheap materials). In my formative years of R&D, every morning we used have the "SAME PCB" in our hand to identify “The Eureka” moment to replace a component vendor! Boy! that’s not the case anymore! TCO is no mere supply chain or component engineering job. We used to call it TDR – Tear Down Re-Engineering. One of my Korean bosses used to say that the product must be engineered until the last drop of tear comes out of your eyes! Hence, TDR. This need serious product & system skills – some one should be able to open-up the box and put it back again! GCC’s & TCO Opportunities Product GCC’s setup in India must have strong completing skills (system engineering) to do a proper TCO! Ex: PCB team must understand mechanicals, manufacturing, assembly, test techniques, fabrication, physics behind materials, etc. If a PCB has been on the market for several years now without any quality issues, and if its cost has to be reduced – first question should be why? What's the objective of the TCO, is the vendor going bankrupt? Business answers needs to be understood before getting into the opportunity itself. This will also determine the seriousness of the customer! You put a lot of effort to reduce the cost and the customer merely says thank you, your quote is not competitive enough! Or they may be also looking at the mere feasibility. Give an indicative % of cost reduction with a ballpark strategy and tell the customer that if they are really interested in the details, you can submit a “Onetime chargeable quote”. If they are interested, they’d pay for your quote and if you win the bid, you implement!

At Phynart, we're passionate about building innovative hardware products in India. But let's be honest, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. ️ Here are some of the common challenges we (and many other hardware startups) face: •⁠ ⁠Limited Startup Ecosystem Support: The love affair with software is real! Many investors and incubators shy away from hardware, not understanding its potential. •⁠ ⁠Prototyping & Manufacturing Pain Points: From finding the right partners to navigating complex regulations, the road to production can be bumpy. •⁠ ⁠Multi-Disciplinary Talent Hunt: Building IoT products requires a dream team of engineers across mobile, backend, hardware, firmware, and industrial design. Not an easy feat! •⁠ ⁠Funding the Future: Securing funding for hardware ventures can feel like searching for a unicorn. Grants and investments are scarce. •⁠ ⁠Mentor Matchmaking Mishap: Experienced hardware veterans are hard to come by. Often, the "been there, done that" guidance is missing. ‍ •⁠ ⁠⁠Import Reliance vs. Homegrown Innovation: The "Made in India" mindset for hardware needs a boost. We can't just be importers, we need to be creators! 🇮🇳 Despite these challenges, we believe the future of hardware is bright in India. At Phynart, we're determined to: •⁠ ⁠Change the Narrative: We're advocating for the immense potential of hardware startups. ️ •⁠ ⁠Build the Ecosystem: We're collaborating with partners to bridge the gaps in prototyping and manufacturing. •⁠ ⁠Nurture Talent: We're fostering a community of passionate hardware developers. ‍ •⁠ ⁠Be the Change: We're leading by example, showing that world-class hardware can be built in India. 🇮🇳 Are you a hardware startup facing similar challenges?

Health systems and medical practitioners across the globe are facing the question of how to integrate AI into the workplace. The possibilities are endless, especially when it comes to the speedy informing of clinical decisions and more accurate predictability. Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a disease that affects premature babies and is the leading cause of infant blindness in the world. This disease impacts India significantly, since the country has more than three million babies born premature every year, the highest number in the world. This is where CleaVision’s solution, supported by SAP Business AI technology becomes a complete game changer. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Healthcare #SAPOneBillionLives #SAPBTP #SAPAnalyticsCloud

Inspiring towards an Atmanirbhar Bharat Through Local Manufacturing The benefits of local manufacturing are manifold: Job Creation: Local manufacturing generates employment opportunities across various skill levels, from engineers and technicians to artisans and craftsmen. This helps to reduce unemployment and empower our workforce. Economic Growth: Manufacturing creates a ripple effect throughout the economy, stimulating demand for raw materials, components, and services. This, in turn, drives growth in other sectors, creating a virtuous cycle of development. Data Privacy & National Security: By reducing our dependence on imports, we become less vulnerable to external data breaches and national security, ensuring a more stable and secure economic future. Let's make in India, for India, and for the world.

Google partners with India's ElectricPe to bring EV charging stations to Google Maps. This collaboration aims to provide Google Maps users across India with real-time information on the availability and status of EV charging points, thereby facilitating better journey planning and alleviating range anxiety among EV users. As part of this collaboration, ElectricPe's extensive network of over 25,000 charging stations will be seamlessly integrated into Google Maps. This means users can now view real-time availability and status of charging points directly on their maps. With the expected rise to over 5 million public charging stations by 2030, this partnership is perfectly timed to support the rapid growth of India's EV market. While it is a crucial step in Google's strategy to enhance user experience on Google Maps, especially amidst growing competition from local alternatives like Ola Maps. No more range anxiety or scrambling for the nearest charger—journey planning just got a whole lot easier!
