Government initiatives such as Design in India, Make in India, and Start-up India are seen empowering start-ups across the country to boost their innovation process. Such efforts have shifted the focus to the hardware sector and are boding well for the hardware start-up ecosystem in India. With new opportunities looming in IoT, cloud-based technologies, drones, the new hardware start-ups are building real physical hardware devices that people can buy and use.To provide these start-ups necessary backup, mentorship and funding, many hardware-centric accelerators and incubators in the country are coming in the forefront.
