Electronics R&D and manufacturing firm Brandworks Technologies has raised $7 million in a Series A round led by Cactus Partners, with participation from Hira Group, Legacy Assets, and Gujarat Venture Finance Limited (GVFL).
The investment marks a major milestone in Brandworks’ journey to scale as a global leader in design-led electronics innovation and manufacturing. The funds will accelerate R&D expansion, global market entry, product innovation, high-efficiency manufacturing, and talent acquisition across the company’s core verticals.
The capital infusion will be deployed to upgrade and expand Brandworks’ R&D centres, deepen its technology capabilities, and strengthen partnerships in key international markets. The company aims to develop next-generation product platforms that meet global standards of performance and sustainability, reinforcing India’s growing leadership in advanced electronics design and production.
“This fundraise is fuel for a much larger mission to make Brandworks a global leader in electronics R&D and manufacturing,” said Ishwar Kumhar, Co-founder of Brandworks Technologies. “We are here to prove that world-class innovation can be imagined, designed, and built in India, and delivered to the world.”
Brandworks Technologies has emerged as one of India’s most dynamic electronics companies, specializing in AI hardware, IoT solutions, advanced audio systems, charging technologies, financial devices, surveillance systems, and renewable energy products.
The Series A investment will support the setup of high-efficiency production lines, ensuring faster scale-up from concept to commercialization. Brandworks also plans to strengthen its engineering, design, and operations teams to support continuous product development and global delivery excellence.
Speaking about the investment, Amit Sharma, General Partner at Cactus Partners, said,
“Electronics manufacturing as an industry is expected to grow at a healthy pace in the foreseeable future, thanks to the ‘Make in India’ initiative, shifting supply chains, and changing global dynamics. High-quality and well-managed companies such as Brandworks are well positioned to grow significantly faster than the industry.”
Cactus Partners focuses on early-growth stage ventures driving innovation across technology, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing. The firm, which closed its ₹630 crore Fund I in December 2023, has backed several high-growth companies including Lohum, Indigrid, Intangles, Kapture, Vitraya, Auric, Parkmate, Ananant Systems, and Rubix (exited).
With this fundraise, Brandworks strengthens its mission to position India as a hub for world-class hardware innovation. The company’s design-first approach, coupled with robust in-house manufacturing and deep R&D capabilities, enables faster product cycles, higher efficiency, and reliable global-standard quality.
The Series A round marks not just a financial milestone but a strategic step toward making Brandworks a partner of choice for OEMs, ODMs, and enterprises across sectors driving India’s digital and industrial transformation.
