About
ELECTRONICS FOR YOU’S
R&D Awards
Many talk about the lack of R&D in electronics, and the need to encourage and grow the same in India. Electronics For You decided to walk this talk.
While we can’t give tax and financial benefits like our central and state government, we decided to highlight and promote those who do get their hands dirty and innovate in this highly complex and challenging field.
Hence, the Electronics For You R&D Awards.
An annual initiative to recognise excellence in innovation by India's best R&D and New Product Development teams.
