Frequently Asked Questions
Seedhe sawaal, seedhe jawab
Minimum ₹15-20 lakh for small IoT/embedded systems startup (unit rent, basic equipment, first component batch, compliance). Medium scale (automotive supplier): ₹30-50 lakh. Large (contract manufacturing facility): ₹1-5 crore. PMEGP covers 25% of first ₹25 lakh if eligible.
Bilkul zaruri hai. You need B.Tech/diploma in Electronics/Embedded Systems or 3+ years in electronics manufacturing. Raw technical knowledge = must. Business experience helpful but learnable. No experience = hire co-founder or chief engineer.
PMEGP: 25% subsidy (SC/ST), 15% (general) up to ₹25 lakh. Udyam registration: 80% credit guarantee, collateral-free loans. Karnataka IT/BT/ST: 25% capital subsidy for electronics plants. SFURTI: cluster development grants. IEC registration: free. ISO 9001: partial subsidy via DPIIT scheme (₹1-2 lakh).
LinkedIn cold outreach to Bosch, Motherson Sumi, Lear procurement teams (fastest). Amazon Launchpad for IoT products (2-week approval, ₹50K fee). Telecom integrators via NASSCOM supplier database. Defense contractors via DDP (Demand-Driven Procurement) portal. Contact Mysuru Chamber of Commerce for Tier-1 supplier introductions.
Bilkul. Get IEC registration (free, 2-3 weeks). ESDM is high-export potential to USA, Germany, Singapore, Japan. No tariff barriers for electronics manufacturers under ECTA. Export margins 35-55% FOB. Compliance: ISO 9001, CE mark (EU), FCC (USA) — costs ₹3-8 lakh total. Average lead time to first export order: 6-8 months.
Honest answer: 40% of electronics startups fail in year 1-2 due to high tech complexity, customer payment delays, component supply shocks. Exit options: (1) Sell unit/client list to larger ESDM player (Tier-1), (2) Contract manufacturing for foreign companies (lower risk), (3) Pivot to design services only (NRE model, lower capex). Worst case: ₹15-20L loss if you invested ₹20L and go under.
