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?

I'm not an economist, but I think we should now shift some of our focus from government CAPEX to private CAPEX. My hope is that the upcoming budget will address this. India cannot sustain its economy solely on government spending forever; private pla
