Karkhana is an electronics manufacturing partner built for India’s fast-growing “missing middle” of hardware companies — businesses that need more than a transactional vendor, and more flexibility than a rigid EMS giant. Founded in 2018, we work closely with product companies across industrial electronics, medical devices, automotive & telematics, IoT, and consumer electronics to transform complex manufacturing challenges into clear, execution-ready solutions. We start by listening smart. Every engagement begins with deep curiosity about your product, timelines, scale ambitions, and supply chain realities. From first builds and NPI to full-scale production, we combine engineering-led thinking with integrated electronics manufacturing and turnkey box-build capabilities to deliver outcomes that are consistent, scalable, and reliable. We adapt swiftly through collaborative execution and flexible systems, without the bureaucracy, scale constraints, or inflexibility of traditional EMS players. At Karkhana, manufacturing isn’t just about building products. It’s about building confidence — in quality, in timelines, and in long-term partnership. If you’re building hardware for India or the world, we’re built to build with you.

Licious began in 2015 when Abhay Hanjura and Vivek Gupta set out to transform a $55Bn category that was largely unbranded, inconsistent, and untouched by modern food standards. Their vision was simple - bring honesty, hygiene, and joy to meat and seafood buying in India. What followed was a category-defining shift powered by India’s only fully integrated 0–4°C cold chain, global FSSC 22000 certification, backward integration through bio-secure poultry farms, and rigorous control over freshwater fish and seafood. With five state-of-the-art processing centres and an annual capacity of 36,000 tonnes, Licious now serves India’s top metros - Bengaluru, NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai and Kolkata - through a strong online presence, expanding retail stores, and fast-growing quick commerce partnerships, including 30-minute delivery across major urban clusters. Over the years, the brand has reached 4.5 million customers, earning unmatched trust, quality leadership and a loyal following in a category long defined by guesswork. This unwavering focus on quality, innovation, and consumer obsession has made Licious India’s first D2C unicorn. Today, it stands as the country’s most loved, iconic D2C meat brand - elevating everyday meals, setting new benchmarks for safety and freshness, and building an ecosystem where farmers, meat technicians, supply partners and delivery heroes thrive alongside millions of delighted home cooks.
