An Exclusive Chat With SMB ElectroTech

Interviewee :   Abbas JawadWala ,CEO & Co, Founder , SMB ElectroTech

Question 1.)  Kindly tell us about the solutions that SMB Eletro-Tech Provides to its customers ?

We are in the business of developing bespoke electronics for our clients including hardware, embedded systems , IoT, etc. We also have our own IoT data logger products, which can be customised as per the clients’ requirements.

Question 2.)  How long have you been in business, and as a startup, what are the challenges you face ?

I have been in business for the past 4 years. I am currently facing challenges related to recruiting employable human resources, source ability of components, high import duties and lack of infrastructure for IoT technologies like LoRa and NB IoT. Recruitment is biggest problem out of them all.

Question 3.)  What are your expectations from the government, and is it meeting them ?

We expect the government to push for India as an electronic design hub and to reduce import duties. We believe having testing labs, sophisticated certification and compliances like FCC and CE would create an edge for us. The lack of these resources limits our approach to designing electronics for global firms. I personally believe that the government is failing to meet these requirements as most government schemes focus on the electronics manufacturing sector which is already dominated by other SEA countries. Mr. Raghu Ram Rajan (Former Governor of RBI) has also mentioned that we need a push in the design and intellectual sector of electronics.

Question 4.)  What is the USP of the company, why do your clients choose you ?

My company’s USP has mostly been cross domain expertise in different electronics design niches, but we are now also focusing on providing quick to setup cost effective Industrial IoT solutions for SMEs.

Question 5.)  What are your goals for 2025, and how do you plan to achieve them ?

We already have one of our Industrial IoT product(Temperature Data logger) in the market and we are now looking to launch our own highly configurable IoT ecosystem.
