The partnership reflects a broader shift within India’s electronics ecosystem, where companies are seeking to move beyond assembly-led manufacturing toward ownership of deeper technology layers, including silicon, firmware, and embedded AI.
Speaking about the partnership, Ishwar Kumhar, Chief Executive Officer, Brandworks Technologies, said, “India must define the future of smart hardware. By combining Brandworks’ hardware execution with SandLogic’s breakthrough AI, we are bringing powerful, secure, and language-smart intelligence into devices that touch everyday life across homes, workplaces, and mobility.”
Kamalakar Devaki, Founder and CEO, SandLogic, added, “Our mission is to make AI efficient, secure, and accessible. With Brandworks, we are transforming advanced chip and speech technology into meaningful consumer products that people can trust and rely on. This is India’s moment to lead the world in edge-based AI innovation.”
This strategic partnership directly supports India’s ongoing push for self-reliance in advanced electronics and elevates the country’s role in shaping the future of connected technology. The first wave of co-developed AI-enabled hardware will be introduced in 2026, with a significant focus on mobility, home-tech, and education solutions. As the ecosystem scales, both companies aim to export these made-in-India AI capabilities to global markets.
As part of its global engagement strategy, Brandworks Technologies will also participate in CES 2026 (6–9 January, Las Vegas), where it will present its automotive and electric mobility electronics portfolio to global OEMs and ecosystem partners. The showcase will reflect the company’s growing role as an India-based ODM and OEM partner with strong in-house R&D, design, and manufacturing capabilities serving the next generation of connected and electric vehicles.
