Human reply. Scope and ballpark, same day.
Share it rough, we'll shape it precise. Then we build.
Share the requirement
WhatsApp, email, or a 5-minute call. Pass us files, a sketch, or a paragraph. Formal brief optional.
We scope it
We review DFM, pick the right stack, and return a clear scope — line items, lead time, landed cost.
We build & test
In-house fabrication, assembly, firmware, integration. Status updates — not a black box.
It's yours — and it works
Delivered, tested, documented. If it doesn't boot on your bench, we're not done.

The people whose hands are on your project — not a sales team.
Bring us
a problem.
No RFQ template required — though we'll complete yours if your procurement process needs it. Tell us what you're building, attach what you have, and we'll come back with a scope within 24 hours.
Need parts before you fabricate?
PartsForYou — our component sourcing division — reviews your BOM, sources across Mouser, Digi-Key and Element14, and ships everything as one consolidated order to India.
Common questions from founders & engineering teams.
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?
PCB design & fabrication, 3D printing & enclosures, embedded firmware development, industrial IoT, and AI automation — end to end, under one roof in Chennai.
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.
