1 syska is said to have pioneered in transforming the lighting business from institutional to retail.
Please share how the idea of doing business in lighting was conceived.
As we know, necessity is the mother of innovation. At Syska, we are constantly gauging consumer needs and trying to best match those with solutions that help solve their problems. Earlier, there used to exist standard light bulbs, tubelights and compact fluorescent lamps (CFL’s). The market for light-emitting diode (LED) lighting options was limited in India. We saw this as an interesting opportunity and immediately took the first step of introducing LED lighting products into the Indian market. Through our pioneering work in the LED lighting industry, we have also been at the forefront of new innovations. Today, our product portfolio not only includes regular LED lights but also encompasses smart lighting options. With a keen focus on helping protect the environment, we have also introduced ecofriendly LED lights that are low in energy consumption and don’t emit harmful UV or infrared radiation.
