I want to open my own camera company, I am an Indian, I have no knowledge about camera and I have no engineering degree as well, but I am fully determined to pursue this. I have no idea whom to approach. I am totally at 0 right now, what should I do? I think there is huge potential in Indian market. I am not talking about CCTV cameras here, I’m talking about dslr, mirror less etc.
Start with a problem and not with a product. Evaluate ideas and its corresponded market, competitor and feasibility. Hardware development is expensive so you need a cheap MVP to prove the concept and look for funding.
Small margins over hardware, plus costs with IP, production, distribution and marketing make it a very difficult scenario to start a business. Even great ideas or products can fail when reach the market.
I recommend watching YC videos, even if its more software focused, they give good advice on the subject
Start up school
