We are proud to announce that our Managing Director & Co-Founder, Nikita Kumawat, has been honoured with the distinguished ET Edge 40 Under 40 - West Edition 2025 award. This accolade recognises young and visionary leaders who are driving significant change across industries in India.
Nikita’s recognition speaks volumes not just of personal achievement but of the path she is charting for the future of electronics manufacturing in India. From founding Brandworks Technologies to building an ecosystem that empowers Indian brands and global clients alike, her leadership reflects foresight, perseverance and purpose.
With a strong academic foundation in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering and experience at leading global firms, Nikita made a bold transition into entrepreneurship. At Brandworks Technologies she channelled that background into creating an enterprise that combines design-led innovation, manufacturing excellence and market relevance.
Under her guidance, Brandworks has scaled from a modest assembly unit into a full-service OEM, ODM and EMS provider serving over 40 Indian brands and expanding into GCC markets. Her commitment to Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives aligns firmly with the national ambition for self-reliance in electronics.
One of Nikita’s standout achievements is cultivating a workplace that places people and purpose at its core. With more than 70% of the workforce being women, Brandworks is redefining what inclusivity and innovation look like in manufacturing. Nikita’s leadership style emphasises collaboration, empowerment and a collective drive to build smarter products.
Her recognition by ET Edge is as much a testament to her individual excellence as it is an acknowledgment of the team and ecosystem she leads. It highlights how professional ambition can coexist with social responsibility and technological progress.
As we celebrate this milestone, we also look ahead to what comes next. Under Nikita’s leadership, Brandworks is poised to deepen its R&D capabilities, expand into new verticals and continue delivering high-quality, connected devices designed and produced in India for the world.
This ET Edge award shines a spotlight on what is possible when vision meets execution. It inspires each one of us at Brandworks to raise the bar, innovate with intent and contribute to India’s growing footprint in global electronics.
Please note: Partner with Brandworks to shape the next wave of innovation in electronics. Let’s build smarter, more connected solutions for India and the world.
