,No I’m not referring to the new iPhone X which was launched sometime back and which may cost an arm and a leg, as many of us would like to dream about and no  I’m not talking about the much debated demonetization, G.S.T. etc. and why they have been a boon or a bane to the country. I’m talking about the digital transformation path our country is set on. Focusing down to the workings of our business, I’m talking about Buildings and practically any building that you might be staying, working in, spend leisure time in or go to to have yourself healed. Well what I mean is either your home, office, hotel or a hospital.

Are these buildings inspiring enough for you to spend more time in. Are they intuitive? Are they Intelligent? Do they listen to you or adapt as per your behavior? Some of them do  and most of them do not!

It may surprise you that 70% of buildings which are going to come up in India by 2030, have not been built yet. Yes, in other words 70% of India is yet to be built. Here’s what I’m trying to infer – There’s an opportunity of making the rest 70% of Indian Buildings Smart, Safe, Sustainable, Green and definitely Intelligent, way too Intelligent. With that said, one of the top trends of construction Industry indicates that Construction firms will face increased scrutiny and prosecution of safety and fraud incidents

Challenging the Challenges

In India, buildings are responsible for 40 per cent of the energy use, 30 per cent of the raw material use, 20 per cent of water use, and 20 per cent of land use in cities. At the same time, they cause 40 per cent of the carbon emissions, 30 per cent of solid waste generation, and 20 per cent of water effluents.

Well the teeth-rattling statistics are many and the times to come are challenging. But who said challenges can’t be exciting?
