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?

If India wants to lead in tech, it needs to take bigger risks, invest in R&D, and build for excellence—not just affordability. Bold bets change the future.

This will happen as the market matures and disposable income rises. Right now, affordability drives demand, but as purchasing power grows, so will the appetite for premium, high-quality products. The shift is inevitable—just a matter of when, not if.

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.
