Frugal tech: Start-ups working on cheap innovation
Indian start-ups are using local materials and innovative ideas to manufacture useful and affordable products
The trend known as frugal tech bets on low-cost solutions, efficient design, and resource reuse to solve real needs. In India and other emerging markets, entrepreneurs combine local components, modular design, and lightweight software to create affordable medical devices, home energy systems, and agricultural tools that increase productivity without driving up the price.
These projects not only invent low-cost hardware, but also integrate custom software to maximize value. Custom applications allow managing data, optimizing processes, and offering predictive maintenance at reduced costs. Artificial intelligence is used pragmatically to improve diagnostics, recommendations, and automation, while simple AI agents enable accessible conversational interfaces even on limited networks.
