1. Tell us something about your company?
Smarthome NX is a discovery platform for Smart
home solutions. We deal in home automation,
sustainable living and connected solutions that can help
consumers live better by saving effort, saving money
and saving energy.
Adopting a Smart home solution is a challenging task.
Consumers need to know what technologies are
available out there and also evaluate several brands.
We make this process easy utilizing the 3 Cs:
Community, Content and Commerce.
Content:
We write about interesting solutions from the
perspective of a user’s lifestyle. Therefore, our aim is
to educate and evangelise the idea of living ‘Smart’
with technology. There is too much happening in the
home design space as far as interiors are concerned but
little being done to educate them about technology
solutions when they are designing their home. We are
doing exactly that for new homeowners and buyers so
they can set aside a budget to build a smarter home and
not just a prettier one.
Community:
We have tied up with over 200 service providers across
India who help consumers with consulting,
customization and installation of Smart solutions. We
also collaborate with manufacturers to help them find
new system integrators and we help system integrators
in turn find new business.
Commerce:
This has been long due but we are on the verge of
starting our ecommerce store as well for DIY smart
products which consumers can buy and use right out of
the box. These are plug and play devices like cameras,
smart speakers and so on. Our aim is to be a unique
destination for all ‘smart’ devices for homeowners.
2. What kind of ‘unique building’ solutions, services
or products are offered by your company at par
with the current industry standards?
We provide a diverse range of solutions: the age-old
and classic wired solutions that provide infinite
possibilities for a stable Smart home, wireless retrofit
solutions that work for old and newer homes and are
more affordable, hubless smart home solutions that are
easy to use and can be shifted easily as well; we also
deal in Smart locks, curtain automation, custom audiovideo
solutions.

entrepreneur with 11 years of experience in marketing,

he has led digital initiatives for brands such as Amazon
, Bajaj , Axis Bank to name a few.
