The new 78,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art prototyping facility in Hyderabad will be India’s largest hardware prototyping center
Mouser Electronics Inc. has entered into a partnership with T Works, an initiative by the Telangana government, to support what will be India’s largest hardware prototyping center in Hyderabad.
The company said that the new 78,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art prototyping facility will be equipped with over 250 industry-grade tools, such as 3D printers, CNC machines, laser cutters, and PCB fabrication to enable Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), startups, and individual innovators to convert their ideas into products more efficiently and economically.
According to the India Hardware Startup Survey conducted by T Works, customs handling and component procurement are two of the major bottleneck activities for hardware prototyping and development.
Through this strategic partnership, T Works and Mouser aim to reduce the barriers that the Indian hardware ecosystem face by sourcing high-quality, reliable components for development.
The partnership also aims to conduct collaborative events to bring component manufacturers closer to end users through application development support and product demos.
“The partnership between T Works and Mouser represents a unique opportunity for electronic components procurement in India,” said Sujai Karampuri, CEO of T Works. “With a strong combination of our technology and process innovation, support from customs-handling partners and a varied range of components from Mouser, startups, makers and SMEs will be able to source components with ease, reducing the barrier in terms of cost, time and complexity.”
Mark Burr-Lonnon, Mouser Senior Vice President of Global Service & EMEA and APAC Business, said, “With this new partnership and the prototyping facility, Mouser and T Works are supporting today’s innovators with the resources they need to solve tomorrow’s challenges.”
