Batch range

5–500units

High-mix, low-volume runs that large EMS houses decline.

Prototype

60days

A working prototype in hand — not just a bare PCB.

In-house

100%

Design, print, solder, test — same room.

Disciplines

6one team

Design, PCB, printing, firmware, AI and sourcing, together.

Four steps from a rough brief to a working product.

  1. Share the requirement

    WhatsApp, email, or a 5-minute call. Pass us files, a sketch, or a paragraph. Formal brief optional.

    Intake0–1 day
  2. We scope it

    We review DFM, pick the right stack, and return a clear scope — line items, lead time, landed cost.

    Scope1–2 days
  3. We build & test

    In-house fabrication, assembly, firmware, integration. Status updates — not a black box.

Common questions

What is Inceptarc?

Inceptarc is a product development centre in Chennai with electronics at its core. One team takes a product end to end: electronics and PCB design, embedded firmware, industrial and mechanical design, prototyping, component sourcing and small-batch manufacturing. PCB For You handles PCB design, fabrication and assembly. PartsForYou handles component procurement. Warelabs is our R&D division for prototyping and 3D printing. What sets us apart is that the whole product is developed in one place, from concept to shipping unit.

Where is your Product Development Centre, and can I visit?

The Centre is at No 79/29, North Mada Street, Padi, Chennai 600050. Visits are by appointment on weekdays: book a 30-minute slot or message us on WhatsApp, and bring any files, samples or drawings you have. Industrial design, PCB fabrication, 3D printing and firmware all happen in the same facility, so you can review your product with the engineers who would build it. See inceptarc.com/centre.

Is Inceptarc one of the embedded startup companies in Chennai?

Yes. Inceptarc is a Chennai-based engineering studio working with embedded and hardware startups on firmware, PCB design, IoT devices, and rapid prototyping — taking an idea from a sketch to a working, manufacturable product.

Do you work with VLSI and semiconductor companies in Chennai?

We do. Inceptarc is an embedded systems company on the road to semiconductor and VLSI work ourselves — today, we support VLSI and semiconductor teams in Chennai with R&D support and rapid prototyping: PCB carrier boards, chip bring-up boards, and test fixtures that get new silicon designs into validated hardware faster.

What services does Inceptarc offer?

End-to-end product development. Electronics is the core: PCB design and fabrication, embedded firmware, industrial IoT, component sourcing and low-volume assembly. The same team does product and industrial design, mechanical design and enclosures, 3D printing and AI automation, all under one roof in Chennai.

Does Inceptarc do product design or industrial design, not just electronics?

Yes. Electronics is our core, and product, industrial and mechanical design are done by the same team under the same roof, not by a separate vendor. That is what makes the development end to end: design research, form and materials, DFM, CAD and rendering, taken through to a manufacturable build. See inceptarc.com/design.

How quickly can you scope a new project?

Most requirements get a clear scope back — line items, lead time, and landed cost — within 1–2 days of you sharing what you're building. No formal RFQ needed.

Can you sign an NDA?

Yes, NDA support is available on request for any project — just mention it when you reach out.

How much does a prototype typically cost?

Prototype programmes typically run ₹50,000 to ₹3,00,000, covering PCB design, fabrication, enclosure and firmware. Multi-unit industrial systems and multi-phase engagements run ₹3,00,000 and above. We return a line-item scope within 1–2 days of your brief.

Do you ship across India?

Yes. We ship prototypes and small-batch production runs across India. For hardware built and assembled in Chennai, typical domestic delivery is 2-5 business days after production is complete.

Can you help if I only have an idea and no design files?

Yes. We scope projects from an idea — some clients come with a working prototype that needs engineering, others with a napkin sketch. We write the requirements, produce the schematic, lay out the PCB, design the enclosure, and write the firmware.

Do you take low-volume production runs that larger EMS companies decline?

Yes. Inceptarc specialises in high-mix, low-volume electronics — batches from 5 to 500 units. Large EMS providers typically require minimum runs in the thousands. We are built for the volumes below that threshold, including design validation batches, pilot runs and field-trial units.

Can you work as an NPI partner for an OEM engineering team?

Yes. We support New Product Introduction end to end — DFM review of your existing design, prototype builds, iteration cycles, test fixture development, and pilot production. We work alongside in-house engineering teams rather than replacing them.

What quality standards do you build to?

Boards are fabricated to IPC-A-600 Class 2 acceptance criteria, with laminates rated UL 94V-0 and materials compliant with RoHS and REACH. ISO 9001 certification is in progress.

Can you support our procurement and vendor onboarding process?

Yes. Inceptarc Technologies Private Limited is a registered Indian company (CIN U62011TN2026PTC190646) with GST registration, and issues GST-compliant invoices. We complete vendor registration forms, sign NDAs and MSAs, and can supply company documentation for supplier qualification.
