Founder and CTO Niraj Rajmohan is exploring alternative measures such as using software, components, and partnering with alternate manufacturers like TVS, TDK Ventures, and Intel for their expertise. The company's focus is on tackling the issue rather than burdening their customers with the rising costs.",
