Let’s hear more from them in this one on one interaction.
Could you share Vishesh Innovative Technologies’ growth journey and key milestones?
We have grown by deliberately building capabilities around high-reliability electronics and changing customer require-ments.
In 2019, we partnered with Melange Systems to manufacture Bluetooth and IoT modules domestically, contributing to import substitution.
In 2021–22, we co-developed customized audio systems for TVS Motors’ three-wheelers, which were exported globally.
More recently, we expanded into EV and battery systems, becoming the primary EMS partner for an Indo-German EV brand, manufacturing motor controllers and BMS for two-, three-, and four-wheelers.
We have also entered vehicle aesthetics electronics as a Tier-2 supplier for Nissan scuff-plate illumination systems. These milestones have steadily broadened our expertise.
Which industry trend will have the greatest impact on EMS?
I believe the growing demand for high-reliability electronics will have the greatest impact on the EMS industry. Customers increasingly expect zero defect manufacturing, miniaturized assemblies, and complete process control.
We are preparing for this through continuous investments in advanced infrastructure, machinery, and workforce training.
Our three Siemens SMT lines can handle highly miniaturized components, with capabilities for pitches down to 0.02 mm and 0.01 mm.
We have also strengthened our quality framework through IATF 16949, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certifications, while AS9100 Rev D for aerospace and defense is expected shortly. We also work with leading global distributors to maintain component avail-ability.
How do your EMS capabilities help customers accelerate innovation?
We offer end-to-end EMS capabilities covering PCB assembly, SMT manufacturing, prototype development box-build integration, testing, and turnkey manufacturing.
Our role begins early in the New Product Development phase where we apply Design for Manufacturing guidelines to identify production challenges and optimize product designs before manufacturing begins.
This helps customers reduce delays and transition more smoothly from prototypes to production. On the quality side, we follow Lean Manufacturing, 5S, Six Sigma, Kaizen, Statistical Process Control, and FMEA methodologies.
Whether we undertake turnkey projects or job-work assignments using customer-supplied materials, we apply the same engineering rigour and quality discipline.

What differentiates VIT in the competitive EMS land- scape?
I would say our key differentiator is the combination of engineering expertise, process excellence, and operational agility. We engage with customers early through DFM practices, helping ensure that products move smoothly from prototype to mass production.
Our quality systems are supported by Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, SPC, and FMEA, giving us strong process control and continuous improvement. At the same time, our rapid-prototyping capabilities and turnkey box-build solutions allow us to respond to diverse production requirements.
We also prioritize transparent ommunication and strong technical alignment with customers. This collaborative approach enables us to build relationships based on trust, reliability, and long-term value.
What leadership challenges have shaped your approach?
One of the important challenges has been balancing rapidly changing customer requirements with capacity expansion, quality expectations, and supply chain uncertainties.
We addressed this by making targeted capital investments in machinery and strengthening our planning processes through formal Sales and Operations Planning. At the customer level, we maintain direct SPOC-to-SPOC communication and clearly defined escalation mechanisms. This ensures that issues are addressed quickly and transparently rather than becoming larger operational challenges.
The experience has reinforced my belief that leadership in manufacturing requires both agility and discipline. Clear communication, structured planning, and timely decision-making have become important parts of how we operate and serve customers.
Kishore Jena, Director - Technical
How is VIT leveraging AI, IIoT, and smart manufac- turing?
We are using technology across inspection, process monitoring and shopfloor operations to make manufacturing more predictive and data-driven. Our AI-powered AOI and SPI systems are trained on more than two million images and can identify microdefects involving highly miniaturized components and 0.3 mm BGAs.
Predictive analytics monitors SPC and FMEA data to identify process drift. Our 45,000-square-foot facility is IIoT-connected, with SMT, reflow, and testing data integrated into our ERP systems. Real-time dashboards track OEE, downtime, and throughput. Our high-speed SMT lines, automated conformal coating, and box-build capabilities help us manage high-mix, low-volume production efficiently.
What is your long-term vision for Vishesh Innovative Technologies?
Over the next decade, I want VIT to become one of India’s most trusted high-reliability EMS partners and evolve from being viewed as a contract manufacturer to becoming a Technology and Manufacturing Partner.
I believe India has the opportunity to move beyond the perception of being a low-cost assembly destination and establish itself as a hub for high reliability, high-trust electronics manufacturing. We want to contribute to that transition through advanced capabilities, stronger quality systems, and continuous innovation.
At the same time, we will invest in people through IPC-certified training, AI and leadership development maintain trans- parency with customers and collaborate with component suppliers to strengthen the domestic electronics ecosystem.
