Brandworks Technologies and SandLogic Technologies have announced a strategic collaboration to jointly design and develop end-to-end edge AI hardware solutions entirely in India. The partnership combines Brandworks’ strengths in industrial design, hardware engineering, and advanced manufacturing with SandLogic’s expertise in edge AI processors and multilingual speech intelligence.
The two companies will co-create AI-powered devices tailored for applications such as voice-driven interfaces, intelligent IoT systems, and mobility solutions, where real-time, on-device intelligence is essential. By enabling processing directly at the edge, these products are expected to deliver faster response times, improved data security, and reliable offline performance, while reducing reliance on cloud-based infrastructure.
This alliance reflects a growing shift within India’s electronics industry toward deeper technology ownership, moving beyond assembly-focused manufacturing to include silicon design, embedded software, and AI-driven intelligence.
Commenting on the collaboration, Ishwar Kumhar, Chief Executive Officer, Brandworks Technologies, said,
“India has an opportunity to shape the next chapter of smart hardware innovation. By bringing together Brandworks’ execution capabilities and SandLogic’s advanced AI technologies, we are embedding secure, language-aware intelligence into devices that impact daily life across homes, workplaces, and mobility.”
Kamalakar Devaki, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, SandLogic, added, “Our goal has always been to make AI efficient, trustworthy, and accessible. Partnering with Brandworks allows us to translate advanced chip and speech technologies into practical products that people can depend on. This collaboration positions India to take a leadership role in edge-based AI innovation.”
The partnership aligns closely with India’s push for self-reliance in advanced electronics and aims to strengthen the country’s role in shaping future connected technologies. The first set of jointly developed AI-enabled hardware products is scheduled for launch in 2026, with a strong focus on mobility, home technology, and education. Over time, both companies plan to take these Made-in-India AI solutions to global markets.
As part of its international outreach, Brandworks Technologies will participate in CES 2026 (6–9 January, Las Vegas), where it will showcase its automotive and electric mobility electronics portfolio to global OEMs and ecosystem partners. The presentation will highlight Brandworks’ evolution as an India-based ODM and OEM partner, supported by robust in-house R&D, product design, and manufacturing capabilities for next-generation connected and electric vehicles.
