Component sourcing · India
Search electronic components across two distributors and buy them in rupees, all‑in — that part runs today. PCB fabrication and assembly are in development, quoted by hand in the meantime. We build our own connected hardware too.

Distributors price for reels. A tape‑and‑reel line can carry a 650‑piece minimum, so buying three of something quietly turns into buying six hundred and fifty. We read every packaging variation and quote the one with the lowest minimum that still has real pricing.
Then we hold orders and place them with suppliers in batches. One shipment, one customs entry, split across everyone in it — which is what keeps the landed cost on a three‑piece order from being mostly freight.

About
We search two global distributors in one place and quote them in rupees, all-in. We source to order and place supplier shipments in batches, which is what keeps small quantities worth buying.

Component sourcing runs today. PCB fabrication and assembly are in development and are marked as such everywhere on this site — we would rather say "not yet" than take an order we cannot fill. Alongside sourcing we build our own connected hardware, starting with the Retrofit 1 smart switch.

Drop in your bill of materials — Excel or CSV — and every line comes back matched and priced in rupees — at the volume break for your quantity. Anything we cannot match, we suggest alternatives for. Nothing is ordered and no account is needed.

Retrofit 1 is a smart switch that fits behind the wall plate you already have, so your switches keep looking the way they do. It replaces the wiring behind the plate, not the plate itself. Setup runs over Bluetooth from the UrbanProto app: your Wi-Fi password is encrypted on the phone and decrypted only by the switch, so it is never sent in the clear. Once it is on your network you can control it from anywhere over an encrypted connection, and if the Wi-Fi drops the switch stays controllable over Bluetooth from a phone in the room. Firmware updates are signed and verified by the device before they are installed, and it refuses to install an older build. You can share a switch with the rest of the household, give each person their own access, and group switches into rooms in the app.
