A New Generation of Indian Hardware Entrepreneurs
The story of Indian startups is no longer confined to SaaS and software apps in Bangalore. A new wave of industrial entrepreneurs is proving that high-tech physical hardware can be engineered and scaled profitably from Tier-2 cities. Leading this movement are Afzal Shaik and Aslam Shaik, founders of Voltebyk in Tirupati.
Focusing on Unit Economics and Impact
Rather than burning venture capital on customer acquisition, the Shaik brothers focused on building resilient product designs, solid unit economics, and word-of-mouth customer satisfaction. Their products—ranging from city commuters to heavy-duty conversion kits—have earned enthusiastic reviews from riders across India.
