Where it all Started
Our founder’s story begins at the doorstep of curiosity and a quiet need to solve things. Not all problems announce themselves loudly, some hide in plain sight disguised as convenience. One that caught his eye early on? Remote controls. Cluttered. Over-engineered. Packed with unnecessary buttons. Karan Bansal always had a problem with them, too many options, half of them useless. He’d stare at the mess and wonder: Why all this noise? It wasn’t just a question of design. It was wasteful. Expensive. A strange kind of excess we had made peace with. His parents never struggled with these things. The devices worked. The bills were paid. But he saw the quiet, constant sense of more. Extra switches. Extra knobs. Gadgets solving problems no one had. Everything is in excess. Yet never quite enough.He wasn’t chasing awards. He wasn’t looking for a breakthrough patent. That was never the point. From the day he left home at eighteen to study mechanical engineering at IIT to years later researching airflow at Purdue, the drive was always inward. To simplify. To listen to what most people ignored.
