Government initiatives such as ‘Self-Reliant India’ and ‘Make in India’ have incentivised the domestic electronics manufacturing industry on a native scale with sizable investments and pushed the industry to anticipate 30% growth in the next fiscal to be worth nearly INR 7 lakh crore. However, the supply of raw materials and building tech products still remains a matter of concern as the government imposed restrictions on business operations with China. India being the third largest hub for tech startups is taking turns with budding entrepreneurs who are motivated to invent new technologies. They are striving towards creating resources to fulfil the demand for raw materials and retain the trust of local population for home-grown electronic products of global standard. As this space is in a developing phase, the overall
sports infrastructure of India is not technologically well-equipped.
Shooting is one of the most popular Olympic Sports and Indian athletes have performed excellently in World Cups and other International Events. Most of the equipment for this sport are imported from Europe and this is where Tachus Technology Private Limited came into the picture. It aims to design and deliver quality products for this sport. It has brought up comprehensive smart electronic target systems which are advanced, reliable and cost-effective and can be used at home or in remote locations and these targets let the users send their data to their coaches for detection of error and
performance improvement. The company provides quality hardware, analytics software and after-sale support to shooting academies and individuals that are resilient for practice sessions and affordable compared to foreign machines.
