India is a tech powerhouse, so why donโ€™t we have our own Bose or Teenage Engineering? Weโ€™re great at making budget-friendly gadgets, but where are the premium, world-class brands? The problem isnโ€™t talentโ€”itโ€™s how we think and invest. Barely any R&D: India spends just 0.6โ€“0.7% of its GDP on research. Compare that to global leaders, and itโ€™s no surprise we lag in innovation. Cheap over quality: The market prioritizes affordability, so companies focus on cutting costs instead of creating groundbreaking products. Investors play it safe: Funding goes to quick, low-risk ideas rather than bold, long-term innovation. Lack of high-tech infrastructure & skills: We have engineers, but not enough facilities or training in advanced product design. If India wants to move beyond budget electronics, we need a mindset shiftโ€”more R&D, bigger bets on innovation, and a focus on quality, not just price. The potential is there. Are we ready to take the leap?

Do you think if the world stops buring money on wars and instead spend it on R&D and Inventions, it would be better? Like America's Military Budget is 44 Times of the NASA's Budget.

Bose Professional is betting big on Mangaluru theyโ€™ve set up their 1st R&D Global Capability Centre (outside Massachusetts) there. What started with 1 engineer has grown to 25, aiming for 100 soon. Big win for Indiaโ€™s tech tier-cities.
