About Smartlink Holdings Limited

Smartlink Holdings Limited is an Indian Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) and Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider with more than three decades of experience in networking products. The company began manufacturing in Goa in 1993 and today operates a large, certified facility there, supported by in-house R&D operations in Bengaluru focused on software for network switches and FTTH products. Its portfolio spans FTTH and Wi‑Fi solutions, structured cabling (copper/fibre patch cords, LIUs, patch panels), telecom equipment, electric vehicle chargers, and defence electronics, with components sourced from trusted domestic and global suppliers. Smartlink also serves as a contract manufacturing partner to branded electronics companies and is positioned to serve both domestic and export markets under the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

Historically, Smartlink operated as an NBFC with strategic investments but has transitioned into a full-fledged ODM with its own R&D centre in Bengaluru. It also collaborates closely with its brand-focused, pan‑India sales and service subsidiary, reflecting a manufacturing-to-market value proposition. The Group’s plant is located at Verna Industrial Estate, Goa, with nationwide market presence and export reach.
