If you’re in the business of building electronics — whether it’s circuit boards, smart devices, EV batteries, or anything in between — Electronics For You Expo (EFY) is probably already on your radar. If not, this is your sign to pay attention.
At Karkhana.io, we’re thrilled to be part of EFY Expo 2025 in Pune, and in this post, we’re breaking down why this event matters, who you’ll meet there, and how we’re solving real manufacturing headaches for OEMs, startups, and procurement teams alike.
What is EFY Expo?
Think of EFY Expo as the meeting ground for India’s electronics and embedded systems ecosystem. Hosted by the team behind Electronics For You magazine, the expo brings together engineers, product designers, manufacturers, suppliers, and innovators under one roof.
It’s more than a trade show — it’s a marketplace of ideas, components, machines, and services that are driving the next wave of electronics manufacturing in India.
Whether you’re exploring supply chain partners, looking for design support, or figuring out how to go from prototype to production at scale — EFY Expo has someone for you.
Who Exhibits at EFY Expo?
From global EMS companies to deep-tech hardware start-ups, the exhibitor lineup spans the entire electronics manufacturing lifecycle. Expect to see:
- EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) providers
- PCB and PCBA manufacturers
- Component suppliers and distributors
- Test and measurement solution providers
- SMT and automation equipment vendors
- IoT and embedded system design firms
- Prototyping service providers
For anyone building physical products, it’s an ecosystem waiting to be explored.
Who Visits EFY Expo?
EFY Expo isn’t just for engineers — it attracts a diverse crowd of decision-makers and builders, including:
- R&D and design engineers
- Sourcing and procurement heads
- Product managers
- Start-up founders and hardware innovators
- Large-scale OEMs looking to localize or scale manufacturing
- Distributors, consultants, and system integrators
It’s where conversations lead to prototypes, and handshakes lead to production runs.
The Real Pain Points in EMS and Box Builds
Let’s face it — building electronics is messy when done piecemeal. Here are the top complaints we hear (and solve):
- Fragmented supply chains — Too many vendors, too little visibility
- Scaling challenges — What works at 100 units breaks at 10,000
- Inconsistent quality — Especially in multi-vendor PCBA or final assembly
- Delayed timelines — Sourcing, manufacturing, and logistics all misaligned
- Limited engineering support — Most partners build what you tell them, not what you need
- Poor documentation and traceability — Big problem when you’re in regulated or export-driven markets
These issues don’t just slow down projects — they inflate costs, strain teams, and kill momentum.
