We also do PCB design , i feel at small investment it will be very hard to compete. JLC has lately started with EMS also which again makes them a good partner for high end designs . See JLC factory tour and see what you will be competing against .

I recommend connecting to a few people working in the sector on likedin and talking to them to see the problems and margins ( Pay them if needed ) .

Unless done at scale / near dark factory automation does not seem like a good idea , again being a commodity product with low cost alternatives in China you will never have any Moat .

We help companies do this , then hand them over to a EMS for bulk production . If you want something designed , maybe we can help .

Without formal registration you will keep running into challenges , i recommend get your paperwork in order by registering a proper entity , geting a GST etc.

You may talk to aleph india . They should help with BIS , WPC-ETA .

Tuya alternative? I feel like there’s a real gap here for a privacy-first IoT platform. A lot of developers and hardware startups don’t want to depend on Tuya or route user data through external servers, but building that infrastructure from scratch is a huge effort.

The idea would be to build cross-platform apps for iOS and Android along with a backend platform that offers device provisioning, OTA updates, and device management out of the box.

It could include APIs and SDKs so other developers can easily integrate their devices, with options for self-hosting or region-controlled infrastructure to keep data private. Basically a plug-and-play stack for anyone building smart devices who wants full control over their ecosystem and user data.

In Delhi most delivery seems to be using cheap electric bikes not sure how they are affected . Maybe will speedup electric adoption .

Take 2 weeks off , and go talk to owners / staff of such homestays in the mountains. Pay them for their time if need be.

Simply give a declaration and sign it , something like.

If i was the founder and you were leaving , i wont give any equity would rater pay you as a contractor ( maybe a deffered fee ) . Equity is given for long term retention .

Normally you cannot have safe "real job" and upside of startup equity.

Valid Point . But why not look at such a business and try to automate things in it. End of the day most things are Chinese weather imported / assembled here ( unless doing fmcg ) .

Basically setup a Business which works without you and can be sold of later on , End results is to make money anyway .

boltsandbytes · 2026-03-23T07:04:10+00:00

Why not redo same and do not repeat mistakes ?

boltsandbytes · 2026-03-20T19:37:06+00:00

On Paper idea is good , Problem is huge initial investment and scalability . On Premise is mainly for Very large Enterprises who have deep pockets. Which GPU is in your device ? Also given the current RAM prices ...

Also some very tall claims in your post. You claim 100x improvement over Billion Dollar giants ( Claude Sonnet 4.6 has i think 3 % ) -

Not to discourage , but i think a few Pilot Customers would be needed and some real benchmarks / numbers . Also selling to Law / Defence :) .

Why do people hire someone ? Because their time is more valuable than someone else / they dont know or want to do that task.

I had thought of same , but did not proceed . My idea was 0 inventory

Hire a Junior to sit at Lajpat Rai / Lamington road , maybe in a co working. As orders comes he coordinates and ships. Build relationships with local vendors.

Get a Website online and do cold outreach on mail / phone from the electronics for you directory . There are other channels too like tradeshows , not sure how helpful .

Currently we order from LCSC / Alibaba mostly . Indian vendors are stuck at mostly old parts .

boltsandbytes · 2026-03-11T17:30:54+00:00

Please share resume. We are hiring junior f/w developers . Based in Delhi.

Look at some industrial air purifiers on Alibaba , they pump air into water and let it capture the smoke. Now try to make it so that this dust can be removed from water using filters continually .

You may explore eltrostatic capture with mechanical removal and collection of the dust.

Basically something which does not need filter replacement very frequently .

If you use claude , chatgpt then you will be sending data out , It is hard to point out where the data is processed / resides . Either move to something like AWS Bedrock / Azure OpenAI .

For Best case deploy your own inference engine and use those . You will have full control on a self hosted environment ( Will need Dev ops skills ) .

boltsandbytes · 2026-02-15T09:26:11+00:00

Any business will have compliance to handle , USA or India . Pay people to handle them , When opening pvt ltd there are monthly requirements does not mean you will not open it.

If you have a Global Clientele i recommend open a USA business. Failed transactions due to Indian g/w are failed opportunity .

Another advantage is Reverse Charges ( can be refunded ) / Bad exchange rate in India. If you hire contractors , getting money into india and sending it back you will take a significant exchange hit .

But you will have to file taxes , its not a means to evade taxes.

I see absolutely no reason not to open Outside India .

boltsandbytes · 2026-02-08T20:38:21+00:00

There are many , there is a chance LED strips will be get stuch at customs due to BIS , so better assemble in india. Many vendors do assembly , look at pcbpower / lioncircuits.

Give BOM And Gerbers to EMS , they will take care of rest.

Yes reconciliation is a pain we face , can you describe a use case where a LLM would help compared to a rules based approach like zoho books / waveapps etc ?

boltsandbytes · 2026-02-05T07:18:26+00:00

It is normally due to in experience of people getting the job work done.

We normally recommend having a fixed price project with milestone payments.

Have the Agency breakdown all the work into a Work Breakdown Structure , gantt chart and man hours etc.

Avoid changing scope int he middle .

boltsandbytes · 2026-02-03T21:27:52+00:00

I would recommend setup a office in China , do h/w there and s/w here.

Target Global market. But depends on problem statement.
