The 18-year-old company sees exponential growth opportunity due to the scale of India’s electronics market, as a result of which it hopes to ramp up its portfolio in the country, Vivek Bansal, co-founder and president of VVDN Technologies, said on the sidelines of the India Mobile Congress.

Bansal said the firm has applied for the electronics component manufacturing scheme (ECMS) for component subsidy, which will make a significant difference in terms of the returns to capital expenditure that it plans to make.

Plans include PCBs and display manufacturing, expanding to imported parts like capacitors and resistors
