In this episode of Leadership Lounge with The CEO Magazine, we speak with Ishwar Kumhar, Co-Founder of Brandworks Technologies, a company that is redefining India’s electronics manufacturing landscape. From a small B2B electronics platform to a fast-growing ODM/OEM powerhouse, Brandworks has evolved into one of India’s leading design-led manufacturing companies — driven by innovation, inclusivity, and future-ready technology.
With a 3.2 lakh sq. ft. mega facility, a dedicated R&D centre in Bengaluru, and 70% women workforce, Brandworks represents the new face of Indian manufacturing — one where technology, people, and sustainability work together to build global-scale products from India.
How Ishwar’s journey began at NIT Jaipur, leading to his first venture ekmatra.store — and how this experience revealed the gaps and opportunities in India’s electronics market.
The transition from a 20,000 sq. ft. assembly line to a 3.2 lakh sq. ft. electronics manufacturing plant, offering end-to-end ODM solutions for global brands.
