“BMT is fully committed to fulfilling PM Modi’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat by focusing on manufacturing. We have our own in-house R&D team and use it to design and develop our products. Our quality team ensures that the finished products meet the highest quality standards. Top brands have already given us their approval to manufacture for them, and we are approved suppliers for Flipkart, SmartBuy, and Amazon Basics. In the current scenario, where charging solutions are in high demand, brands are searching for reliable suppliers who can manufacture for their brands. With the manufacturers in China not understanding the unique heat and electricity infrastructure in India, brands no longer want to source from China. At BMT, we recognize the intricacies of the electricity situation in India and incorporate them into our charging solutions. Our products are BIS and RoHS compliant, and many major mobile accessory brands are now partnering with us for our cables and charging solutions.” – Aashish Arora, Founder & CEO, BMT
