Partnership models

OEM or ODM. Two routes to a manufactured product.

Bring us your design and we will build it, or start from ours and put your brand on it. The right choice depends on how much you want to own and how fast you need to launch.

Your design, our manufacturing

OEM

You own the product. You supply the blueprints, tech packs and specific measurements, and we manufacture to them. The result is exclusive to your brand, and the intellectual property stays with you.

Custom design
You provide blueprints, tech packs and specific measurements.
Full control
You own the product design and the legal rights to it.
Higher initial investment
Tooling, moulds and first-article testing are funded up front.
A unique product
The finished item is exclusive to your brand.
Discuss OEM

Our design, your brand

ODM

We start from an existing design and adapt it to your brand. Development cost and risk are far lower, and the product reaches the market much sooner.

Pre-designed
Production starts from our own designs and existing tooling.
Fast launch
Products reach the market significantly faster.
Lower cost
You save on research, testing and development spend.
Brand-level changes
Colours, logos and packaging are adapted to your identity.

Engagement

How a partnership runs.

The same six stages apply either way. Under ODM, stage three is shorter because the base design already exists.

  1. 01

    Enquiry

    Share your drawings, BOM or a description of what you need built.

  2. 02

    Feasibility & quote

    We review manufacturability, confirm the approach and quote against it.

  3. 03

    Design or DFM review

    We design from scratch, or review your design for manufacture.

  4. 04

    Prototype

    A first build is produced and validated before production is committed.

  5. 05

    Production

    Assembly runs to the approved recipe with in-line inspection.

  6. 06

    Test & dispatch

    Final inspection, functional test and dispatch across India.
