I did a research a while back. For an entrepreneur, there are only two things he can make broadly, products and services. While services is a another thing, new products depend on a major workforce of prototyping industry.
Product Development in short is: Idea --> CAD File -- Prototype
It appears, that most of the prototyping firms, do not pick up from in the middle, i.e, If I had a Idea, no firm was ready to produce a CAD file. Even China based prototyping companies only take CAD files, and do not help you, with the CAD generation.
Meaning, if you don't undergo, a extensive training in software like Solidworks or AutoCAD which is both expensive and time consuming, or not find a engineer already well trained in them, you have no scope of converting your idea into a reality.
This is a bottle neck for entrepreneurs in India.

- dsuth 13y agoThat's because there's a step missing in your model, which goes like this: Idea --> Engineering/Design --> CAD File --> Prototype And the reason it doesn't get done that well in places like India and China at the moment is that it's not easy or quick to create a sustainable engineering sector that can reliably take ideas to a working prototype stage. China, and to a lesser extent India, will slowly develop this over the next 10-15 years I think, since Western companies are gifting them a huge amount of engineering knowledge in exchange for cheap engineering, or so-called High Value Engineering (HVE), but there are a few hurdles even so: 1. Education. 2. Cultural issues around problem solving.
