About us
ABOUT PODRAIN
Podrain Electronics is a young player in the Electronic Manufacturing Services Industry. Founded in 2014 by industry veterans, Shyam Chandran and Rajesh Rajagopal with support from Singapore based Logical Steps LLC.
Podrain focuses on PCB Assembly & Rework for Prototypes and quick turnaround, small batch manufacturing. As a natural extension, Podrain moved to provide System Integration and RMA Logistics for clients whose prototypes have grown to successful products.
We seek to cater to start-ups using IoT, specialised OEMs in Healthcare, Defence and Aerospace.
Our USP is that we deliver complex PCB Assembly in less than 72 hours once we have received the complete kit. Our facility is an extension for a lot of design house to build the first boards and complete their initial testing. We have state of the art equipment for assembly, inspection and testing. We also invest in quality assurance and we have received ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certificate..
We work with our clients in a ‘job-work’ model where they procure all parts (or provide the capital based on which we procure parts) and we support them with quick turnaround manufacture. Our clients gain complete cost transparency, along with our reliable, quality assured services for their prototype products.
