Product Development Consulting

Equipped with a collective experience of around 80+ years in power electronics product development industry and with access to state of the art test and measuring equipment, our team provides an end-to- end service for our customers. We follow a stage gate product development process and provide customers an option to choose what all services are needed. All the IP generated belongs to our customer and in case any of our existing IP which is used will be cross licensed along with the solution.

What is stage gate product development process?
Stage gate product development process involves dividing the entire process into multiple tangible tasks and deliverables. At the end of each stage, the tasks and deliverables will be vetted with the customer and signed off before moving to next stage. An example of the activities involved in each stage and the outputs against it are tabulated below,
