India is a tech powerhouse, so why don’t we have our own Bose or Teenage Engineering? We’re great at making budget-friendly gadgets, but where are the premium, world-class brands? The problem isn’t talent—it’s how we think and invest. Barely any R&D: India spends just 0.6–0.7% of its GDP on research. Compare that to global leaders, and it’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 shift—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?
