Smart projectors can redefine the way consumers engage with content, says Sushil Motwani
According to the Cognitive Market Research’s ‘Smart Projector Market Report 2025,’ the Asia-Pacific region accounted for approximately 23 percent of global revenue, with a market size of US$ 519.39 million in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20 percent from 2024 to 2031. Meanwhile, the Indian smart projector market is witnessing significant growth, with various forecasts predicting a CAGR of 12 percent until 2028. In India, nearly 70 percent of buyers are from the corporate and education sectors, while 30 percent belong to the home entertainment segment.
Now, with more households opting for home projectors over television sets, the share of home entertainment users is expected to rise further in the coming years. Moreover, users are shifting away from traditional lamp-based projectors, favoring laser and LED models. Among them, laser projectors are particularly preferred for their superior visual quality, long lifespan, low maintenance costs, and energy efficiency.
“The Indian home entertainment segment is changing rapidly, with a clear shift in consumer preferences. Smart projectors are at the centre of this transformation. Modern consumers expect more than just high-quality visuals. They value connectivity, convenience, and a richer viewing experience. With smart projectors, we are making premium entertainment more accessible and effortless for every household,” says Sushil Motwani, Founder of Aytexcel Pvt. Ltd., the official India Representative of Formovie.
He says that smart projectors are reshaping the way India engages with entertainment. “These devices combine technology, functionality, and ease of use. With Gen Z embracing smarter, more connected lifestyles, smart projectors are becoming a household essential, redefining how we experience content. From binge-watching favourite shows to enjoying family movie nights, these projectors open the door to a new era of interactive entertainment,” adds Motwani.
Another factor contributing to the growing popularity of laser projectors is the rise of OTT platforms, which has fuelled the demand for a theatre-like experience at home, Various streaming services now offer a wide range of content in true 4K resolution, making high-quality visuals more accessible. Most premium smart projectors now support 4K UHD resolution (3840 × 2160 pixels), delivering sharper images, vibrant colours, and a more lifelike viewing experience.
Meanwhile, features like Advanced Laser Phosphor Display® (ALPD) enhance image quality, ensuring rich and detailed visuals. Superior sound quality is another key aspect, with many of these devices equipped with built-in speakers that support Dolby/DTS audio, reducing the need for external sound bars or speakers.
The integration of Android TV, enabling app installations for streaming, built-in apps like Netflix, wireless connectivity supporting Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Chromecast, and AI-driven features such as automatic colour adjustment based on ambient light and voice controls through Alexa and Google Assistant are also additional features that attract customers to smart projectors.
Empowering Artisans: Mulroom’s New Approach to Direct-to-Customer Furniture Sales
India’s furniture market, a vast and burgeoning landscape, has long been a realm of paradox: rich in potential, yet tethered to archaic systems. While consumer aspirations soar, the industry remains entrenched in fragmented supply chains and the inefficiencies of mass production. Enter Mulroom, a pioneering force that transcends conventional boundaries, forging a new paradigm where technology and craftsmanship converge to redefine the very fabric of furniture design.
Founded by Parikshit Guhabiswas, Mulroom was born out of a realization—while consumers had an abundance of furniture choices, the supply chain behind the industry remained outdated, inefficient, and unsustainable. Bulk production, excessive inventory, high markups, and limited customization options have long plagued the sector. Mulroom aims to solve these issues by introducing a lean, tech-enabled, direct-to-consumer (DTC) supply chain that eliminates middlemen, reduces waste, and enhances affordability.
At the heart of Mulroom’s disruption lies its intelligent, just-in-time manufacturing approach. Leveraging AI-powered demand forecasting, the company predicts market trends with remarkable accuracy, ensuring that each piece is crafted only when demand dictates. This eliminates the environmental burden of overproduction, while simultaneously enabling rapid response to evolving consumer preferences.
Technology plays a crucial role in Mulroom’s operations. The company leverages data analytics, AI-driven demand forecasting, and digital design tools to optimize the supply chain. This ensures a seamless, efficient process that benefits both consumers and manufacturers. Additionally, Mulroom is committed to fair pricing structures that support artisans and small-scale furniture makers, moving away from exploitative industry norms where large brands often underpay craftsmen while maximizing profit margins.
India’s furniture market has long struggled with issues such as limited personalization, high costs due to excessive inventory and middlemen, and a lack of sustainability initiatives. Mulroom’s entry into the market addresses these pain points by offering an alternative—furniture that is bespoke, ethically produced, and environmentally responsible. By prioritizing durability, repairability, and recyclability, the brand is introducing a circular economy approach, moving away from the wasteful “make-use-dispose” cycle that dominates the industry.
Arihant Capital Hosts Successful India Investor Day Conference in Dubai
Dubai, UAE – March, 2025 – Arihant Capital, India’s leading financial services company, successfully hosted the India Investor Day conference in Dubai, bringing together the management of top Indian companies and global investors. The event attracted industry leaders, fund managers, and family offices, providing a platform for insightful discussions and networking opportunities.
The conference deep dived into India as an attractive investment destination for global investors and what the recent correction means for Indian markets.
The conference commenced with a strategic panel discussion on the “India Growth Story – India vs Global Markets,” featuring prominent industry experts. There was unanimous agreement among the participants on India’s potential to become a $10 trillion economy. They believe it is not a question of “if,” but “when,” underscoring the country’s promising economic future.
Himanshu Khandelwal, CEO of Asas Capital emphasized that India’s growth story remains robust. He noted that the recent pullback in the Indian equity markets has made some high-quality companies available at attractive valuations, offering a good ‘margin of safety’, and presenting a favorable investment opportunity. Mr. Khandelwal also highlighted Japan as an attractive market for investment, while advising caution when investing in the US. Additionally, he noted that European markets are performing well and offer good opportunities for investors.
Nik Khandelwal from Thornwood Capital shared his positive outlook on India’s long-term growth prospects. However, he expressed concerns about the current market valuations, suggesting that further corrections are needed before attractive investment opportunities emerge. He drew a comparison between China and India, stating that while China often overdelivers, its stock markets underperform, whereas India tends to have the opposite scenario.
On the topic of the US market, there was a consensus among the participants that it does not seem attractive at the moment. Investors have grown nervous that President Donald Trump’s import duties could slow the economy. The general sentiment was that one needs to wait and see how things unfold in the US, although selective stocks may still perform well.
Ms. Shruti Jain, Chief Strategy Officer of Arihant Capital, who also hosted the India story panel, reiterated the attractiveness of the Indian market for global investors. She emphasized that the consumption story will continue to drive growth in India. Ms. Jain noted that while global investors remain positive on India, they are making tactical allocations based on which global markets can provide alpha returns. Credit growth, rural consumption, private capital expenditure, and government infrastructure spending will be among the key growth enablers for India going forward.
Arihant Capital showcased several innovative investment ideas in the unlisted space, with a focus on sustainability. Among the highlights were India’s first net-zero construction company, which is revolutionizing the market, and a company that produces water from air, offering a unique and promising proposition.
Mr. Abhishek Jain, Head of Research, Arihant Capital Markets Ltd said, “ At Arihant Capital, our mission is to deliver high-quality investment ideas that empower investors to build long-term wealth. While the sharp correction in Indian equities has understandably caused some investor anxiety, we view this as a prime opportunity to uncover valuable investment prospects. It’s encouraging to see that global investor interest in India remains strong despite the recent fall.”
The India Investor Day conference provided a valuable platform for Indian companies to present their growth stories and investment opportunities to a global audience. The event facilitated meaningful interactions between company management and investors, fostering a deeper understanding of the Indian market’s potential.
Arihant Capital remains committed to bridging the gap between Indian companies and global investors, promoting sustainable growth and investment opportunities. The success of the India Investor Day conference underscores Arihant Capital’s dedication to supporting the Indian growth story and facilitating global investment in India.
Honeywell Software to Power Corvus Drones for Inventory Tracking
Mumbai, March 17, 2025 – Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) today announced its SwiftDecoder barcode-decoding software will be integrated into Corvus Robotics’ self-flying inventory drones. This pioneering solution will be used within warehouses and distribution centers (DCs) to make the process of tracking rapidly changing inventory quicker and more accurate for retailers, distributors and manufacturers at the case- and pallet-level.
Honeywell’s creation of supply chain solutions that can automate processes for greater accuracy and more efficient use of scarce labor resources supports its alignment of its portfolio with several compelling megatrends including automation.
“We selected Honeywell’s SwiftDecoder software for our cutting-edge drones due to the company’s long-standing expertise in the warehousing sector and the software’s ability to efficiently and reliably acquire data, even in complex and fast-moving DC environments,” said Jackie Wu, CEO at Corvus Robotics. “With Honeywell’s software and our in-house proprietary case counting AI technology, we can quickly decode many cases in one location, all at once. Together, Corvus Robotics and Honeywell are empowering warehouses and distribution centers to better manage inventory, reduce operational expenses and streamline the overall flow of goods throughout the supply chain.”
The Corvus One™ Autonomous Inventory Management System, equipped with SwiftDecoder software, is able to fly through DCs to conduct inventory audits. It can accomplish this task more quickly than a human could in vast warehouse spaces that often have very high shelves, hard-to-reach racks or products and low-light conditions that can make traditional scanning a challenge. By using computer vision to navigate, scan, map and count inventory in real time, the drones are able to operate without GPS, human operators, Wi-Fi or wireless beacons. This system not only helps ensure warehouses have an accurate picture of inventory, but it also enables companies to deploy limited labor resources in other ways that add greater value to the business.
“As the labor shortage continues to plague the supply chain, we know that companies are looking for solutions to supplement their human workforce,” said David Barker, president of Honeywell Productivity Solutions and Services. “By automating inventory counting and providing real-time data, the Honeywell-Corvus Robotics solution will help retailers keep up with growing demand and complexity, reduce inventory discrepancies and errors and improve overall supply chain performance.”
Honeywell’s SwiftDecoder software can batch scan to capture many barcodes at the same time, making it optimal for integrating with autonomous drones for rapid inventory counting. This capability, coupled with Corvus One’s proprietary onboard sensors and cameras, equips the Corvus One Autonomous Inventory Management System with the ability to count the number of individual cartons in a single location. The real-time data that is captured and processed with the combined Honeywell-Corvus Robotics solution allows for immediate insights into stock levels and case counts, which helps businesses make informed decisions quickly, respond proactively to any supply chain disruptions and maintain operational continuity.
