The Tech Panda takes a look at how Indian companies are partnering with business hubs like the US and Belgium. At the same time, Indian shores open up to invite business from Taiwan, Israel, and Japan as markets exapns in semiconductors, electronics, and cybersecurity
Many players enable all this cross-border trade. For example, Dubai-based Okie Global is enabling Indian brands to scale across the Middle East. Meanwhile, in June, US based digital infrastructure company Vertiv expanded power portfolio with enhanced static transfer switch for critical applications in India.

Together with Azul’s best-in-class Java platform, we’re helping organizations optimize costs, improve performance, and take full control of their Java estates.”
IG Drones, an Indian drone technology company, tied up with Belgian DeepTech company VoxelSensors to integrate next-generation 3D perception systems into its UAV platforms. This partnership is set to transform how drones navigate and operate in GPS-denied and visually complex environments, such as dense forests, urban infrastructure zones, tunnels, and industrial interiors.
At the heart of this partnership lies the integration of VoxelSensors’ SPAES (Streaming Perception for AI Enhanced Systems) technology—renowned for its ultra-low latency and high-precision spatial sensing—with IG Drones’ fleet of intelligent unmanned aerial vehicles. The result is a new generation of drones with advanced environmental awareness, enhanced obstacle avoidance, and higher-fidelity mapping capabilities for infrastructure inspection, emergency response, environmental monitoring, and smart city applications.
Andre Miodezky, President of VoxelSensors, also commented on the partnership: “We’re excited to join forces with IG Drones to bring our sensing innovation into practical, high-impact use cases. Our SPAES technology provides real-time depth perception and motion awareness that empowers UAVs to function reliably, even in visually complex and dynamic environments. This partnership bridges European innovation with India’s drone ecosystem, and together we’re helping shape the future of aerial intelligence.”

In May, HorngCom Technology, a division of AMB Taiwan, tied up with RRP Electronics Limited, following a successful technical review of RRP’s facility in Mumbai. This marks a significant step towards expanding HorngCom’s global footprint in the OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) sector.
HorngCom’s technical team evaluated RRP’s Semiconductor plant at Mahape and cleared it for assignments from HorngCom Taiwan. Level 1 of RRP Electronics’ OSAT facility will now be upscaled to include a new production line dedicated to handling additional workload, aimed at increasing efficiency and throughput.
HorngCom will assign a range of OSAT services and IC products to be handled at the RRP Electronics facility like SIM cards and modules, NAND memory chips, MOSFET components, and other integrated circuit (IC) related products.
This partnership is projected to generate revenues of approximately US$12 million for the current financial year, highlighting the strong market potential and scalability of the venture.
“We are excited to embark on this collaboration with RRP Electronics,” said Elmer LingHu, Chairman of HorngCom Technology. “This step is aligned with our vision of expanding high-quality semiconductor services globally. India presents an enormous growth opportunity and our synergy with RRP will help us achieve new milestones.”
SHARP Corporation, the Japanese electronics and appliances brand tied up with Systech IT Solutions Ltd., a distribution powerhouse in South India. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in SHARP’s ongoing India growth story and further reinforces its commitment to expanding accessibility and reach across the southern market—starting with Karnataka.
This move builds upon SHARP’s successful expansion into the Eastern region last year and signals the brand’s sharpened focus on pan-India growth. The Indian consumer electronics and home appliances market is witnessing rapid evolution, with rising demand for quality, efficiency, and smart living. By combining SHARP’s advanced technology with Systech’s on-ground distribution strength, the partnership aims to create a seamless and enriched buying experience for customers in South India.
Osamu Narita, Managing Director, SHARP Business Systems India Pvt. Ltd., commented, “India continues to be a cornerstone of SHARP’s global growth strategy. Our entry into Karnataka through this partnership with Systech marks a major leap in our vision to serve every Indian household with innovation that is reliable, relevant, and future-ready.

Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), an Israeli cyber security solution, launched its India-based data residency instance of Check Point Harmony SASE, reinforcing its commitment to enabling secure digital transformation for Indian enterprises. This new instance brings localized, cloud-delivered network security—designed to address India’s regulatory environment and growing demand for scalable, secure, and compliant cloud adoption.
With India accelerating cloud adoption across sectors, the launch represents a critical investment in the region. Indian organizations—especially those in BFSI, telecom, healthcare, and government—require scalable security infrastructures that support remote work, SaaS usage, and branch connectivity, while adhering to domestic compliance regulations.
The India instance of Harmony SASE has been designed with a deep understanding of the local regulatory landscape. As the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) comes into effect, alongside mandates from regulators such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), and Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), data sovereignty and localized processing have become essential. Harmony SASE ensures that sensitive data is processed and stored within Indian borders, supports consent-based data handling, and helps organizations remain compliant while retaining the agility needed for digital innovation.
“India is at the forefront of global digital transformation—and as the threat landscape grows more complex, security can no longer be an afterthought,” said Sundar Balasubramanian, Managing Director, Check Point Software Technologies, India & South Asia. “With the launch of Harmony SASE’s India instance, we’re giving Indian enterprises the ability to move fast and stay secure—combining advanced AI-driven protection with local data residency, low-latency access, and seamless compliance.”
