At the recent Electronica 2026 expo, I had the chance to spend some time at the Quectel booth speaking with Vijay Prakash (Product Manager, Quectel) and exploring their latest lineup of AI-focused single-board computers and smart compute modules. Most of us are already familiar with popular SBC platforms like Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson boards from NVIDIA. Quectel is now entering this space…
When Shailesh Kachi, Founder of Adevair Technologies, set out to build Securio, he found the market fragmented. There were AQI monitors that showed how bad the air was but did nothing about it, purifiers without awareness of local air conditions, and filters that didn’t know when they were worn out. He wanted something different…something unique…one could say a breath of fresh air.
And…

At Electronica 2026, while exploring the Silicon Labs booth, I came across a wireless networking technology that was surprisingly new to me, Wi-SUN. As embedded engineers, most of us are already familiar with technologies like BLE, Zigbee, Matter, Thread, and LoRa when it comes to IoT connectivity. But Wi-SUN felt different from the moment I saw the live demo running at the booth.
After…
It’s something we’ve been hearing for years, India building its own microcontroller. But most of the time, those conversations stayed within labs, government schemes, or early prototypes. What’s been missing is a product that actually makes its way into the hands of developers and into real-world applications.

Adviteey Mehaindroo, the founder and CEO of Zinikus, credits CircuitDigest as one of his earliest learning grounds. Now he's sitting down with the same platform, talking about running a robotics company with a half-million-dollar valuation. He describes Zinikus as “a robotics company focused mainly on humanoids, but also catering to the advertising and hospitality sectors with robotics.”

As I sit down to write this piece, I notice the fan whirring above and, for the first time, it occurs to me that it runs on an induction motor. So does every other fan in my office and my home. These motors have been around for a long time, not because they’re the best options out there, but because they’re cheap and do the job. BLDC motors have gained a bit of popularity, but are pricier and…
In conversation with Bhupinder Singh, President – IMEA (India, Middle East, Africa), Messe München | CEO, Messe München India
Q: India’s electronics narrative has clearly shifted. What, in your view, is the defining change in the market today?Bhupinder Singh: The defining shift is from intent to execution—at scale. Capacity is scaling, compliance is tightening, and decision cycles are…
Pace Robotics makes robots that paint… just not something you’d hang up at a gallery. As a part of our visit to this Bengaluru-based startup, we got to witness one of those robots in action at an actual construction site. They call it the Centa Painter, and it can spray putty, perform sanding, and apply paint on interior walls and ceilings, all things humans have been doing by hand forever and…
