Home Automation – Current Scenario
Multiple factors have contributed towards the growth of home automation, entertainment and security
systems, namely the growth of smart phones, penetration of mobile apps, coupled with the rise in
income levels of the middle class. The popularity of home automation and controls has been on the rise
due to greater simplicity and affordability through connectivity using Wi-Fi-enabled devices such as
tablets and smartphones.
India is the fastest growing market for home automation. The industry has been witnessing an annual
growth rate of 30-40 per cent. Given the burgeoning demand for electricity in India, conserving energy
also becomes an imperative for the future. And herein lays the opportunity for automation systems,
which control the basic functions of a home automatically or through remote access of a computer and
improve the standard of living, while ensuring energy efficiency.
The home automation market is worth about $300 million as of today and the growth potential of the
sector has been pegged at Rs 20,000 crore ($3.2 billion) by 2020. In the current market, the surge of
smart phone usage will contribute significantly to Home automation usage in the upcoming years.
All of these forecasts do not take into account
potential macro trends like Internet of Things (IoT),
or other smart technologies of the future.
If IoT becomes a mainstream technology in the next few
years, then it will alone create a multibillion dollar industry
in India, and as an early mover in the sector,
Thasmai will be well positioned to capture market share!
Since the real estate boom in India, new home
buyers have started to opt for add-ons like
automation in their buildings or houses.
Indians are usually very conscious of energy costs,
and modern home buyers are willing to spend on
luxury, comfort, and security systems with
automated control devices that can regulate utility
services.
As home automation systems become available at
affordable prices, demand will increase for smart
technologies leading to a more digital lifestyle per
square foot in future concepts of home living.
Lighting controls is the key segment in the home
automation market, as lighting consumes a substantial
part of the electricity that is consumed by the
residential sector in India. Lighting is followed by
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
controls for which automation is highly preferred to
ensure ease of use & comfort.
Opportunities for Home
Automation in India

Market Reality – South India
a. What is Home automation perceived as, and what matters?
• Home automation is still viewed as a luxury and not a necessity by Home owners. Due to the high
cost of products currently, Home Automation is considered affordable by Individuals with Net Worth
more than 10 crore. Currently, there are 182,000 millionaire households in India. This number is set
to grow to 294,000 in next 4-5 years
• People with Net Worth of less than 8-10cr can’t relate to Home Automation as an add-on, since
other priorities for the home would then fight over the same budget (for e.g. Kitchen
modules/bathroom fittings/Jacuzzi/ swimming pool/ consumer durables such as high end TVs).
Because Home automation is still viewed as a luxury offering, the Finish, Look and feel of the
product, as well as the brand image associated with the product matter MORE than technical
features of the solution, or the value in pricing.

Current trends in the Indian Automation Market
b. What works and why?
Let’s analyze how the Indian Home automation market is structured currently;
Current brackets in Home Automation sales
Since the ticket size of each unit is quite high (relative to Indian purchasing standards), the focus is on the
luxury aspects of the product offering (look, feel & finish, and the brand image). This explains why many
successful start-up ventures with promising solutions have not been able to crack the market compared to
global MNCs with refined products
Hence, Good solutions and reasonable price points are still not able to make impact in Indian
market. Builders are the only segment that has encouraged them, lot sof startups are getting
into Builder trap (Low margin, Higher risk) in recent times
We opine that solutions with cheap look and feel, unknown/new brand with affordable price
point is considered as low quality product in the Indian market.
There are several Indian start-ups that are making solutions that are retrofit and have real
values at affordable price. Being technology startups, they lend a lot of importance to
features, however the look and feel of their products are unimpressive till now

Market size and Potential- India + Global trends
The above graphic shows how the value proposition for Automation will continue to increase, while it becomes a dream for
fewer consumers due to increased affordability
Current Market (2015-2018)
The estimated market size for Home automation in India is currently 300$ million, some characteristic
features of the offerings available in the market today are
• Current suite of Offerings do not cater to the mass market: Automation products are not
manufactured widely, nor are they branded or positioned to fit the needs of the average middle
class Indian consumer. It is still considered a Niche High end add-on for the home which is currently
only targeting HNIs or buyers of premium villas/apartments
• Designing and installing Automation in a home is still a technical process and cannot be done by the
consumer themselves. Most typical electricians in India would lack the know how to use controllers
and the programming involved to set up the protocols.
• Products having good specs and finish are expensive: Some Global companies like Crestron have
good solutions with excellent finish and technical specifications; however they are all priced beyond
the reach of most Indian consumers.
• Lower priced solutions have shabby look and build: Some Indian startups and companies have
some offerings in the tens of thousands Rupees price points, which despite their compelling value
offering, do not have a classy look and finish due to which they have not been embraced by the
market.
Growth in Automation Market in India (2018-21)
The next phase for the Home automation market will occur based on a few key improvements in the
technology available in Automation, such as improvement in Wireless Automation solutions as well as
lowering of price points as the market begins to accept Home automation usage in larger volumes.
Confidential Information- Kindly do not share outside immediate investor interests
Some trends that we foresee for this phase of the industry are
• Big companies like Philips, Siemens & Schneider will eventually bring out fairly mass market
automation products with appealing user interface but at a lower price point than today, and more
people will be able to afford the products
• Solution offerings will slowly move to a more user friendly design, where aside from a few key
components, users will be able to buy and use the Automation products themselves without the aid
of any technical expert
• Some foreign players will have niche in high end automation and focus on the premium market (>20
Lakh ticket size).
The Internet of Things Revolution
One of the main buzz words everybody has been mentioning in the last few years is the Internet of Things
(IoT). The Internet of Things is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics,
software, sensors, and connectivity to enable objects to exchange data with the manufacturer, operator
and/or other connected devices based on the infrastructure of International Telecommunication Union's
Global Standards Initiative. IoT will allow objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing
network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and
computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit.
The Internet of Things revolves around increased machine-to-machine communication; it’s built on cloud
computing and networks of data-gathering sensors; it’s mobile, virtual, and instantaneous connection; and
they say it’s going to make everything in our lives from streetlights to seaports “smart.” IoT devices can be
used to monitor and control the mechanical, electrical and electronic systems used in various types of
buildings (e.g., public and private, industrial, institutions, or residential).

Commoditization of Automation market (2021 onwards)
As with any industry, as Automation for residences become common place, the market will eventually be
crowded with several players, multiple product offerings and competitive pricing. The market for just Home
automation is estimated to be 3.2$ Billion by 2020. If IoT were to become common place, then we’re looking
at a multi-billion dollar opportunity for Thasmai in the Indian market.
• We foresee that all major players will have a presence leading to competition in prices and lower
margins
• The products themselves will reach a ‘plug and play’ type of usability, where users can simply
purchase pieces from the store and use it themselves without any support from professionals
• Many (most) houses will incorporate some aspect of Automation in the home, from Lighting,
security or HVAC elements. Home Automation will be as commonplace as having a Fridge or
Television in the house.

History of Home Theatre Market in India
The Indian market is slowly waking up to the joys of having a Home theatre in the comfort of the house.
Status indicator, the sheer pleasure of having world-class entertainment the comfort & convenience of
your own home.
India has historically been a movie-crazy society with film stars being accorded larger than life status
(and in some southern states, demi-god status). The influence of Movies is noticeable in daily life; with
movie dialogues part of most people’s vernacular, and movie tropes instantly recognizable in peoples
ongoing discussions and opinions. The Bollywood industry, and its smaller regional counterparts in
various states (mainly Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Bengal, Malayalam, Bhojpuri) churn out more than
2000 movies a year. The majority of the audience expects escapist and feel-good fare, and many people
watch every movie that releases in theatres.
However, India is also a cost-conscious market and movie watching has increasingly become an
expensive affair with a movie for two in any metro easily adding up to over Rs1000 (along with the tub of
popcorn, add the time spent in queues and traffic).
For a discerning viewer, however, Indian theatre’s do not offer the best cinematic experience with
multiple advertisements (all poorly placed), a forced interval to throw more commercial setting, and an
ill-mannered movie audience, all ensuring that the experience (as with so many other things) is a
community activity, you’re forced to take in everyone’s opinion and mood without being able to enjoy
the subject matter immersively. Until recently (perhaps the turn of the millennium), technology hadn’t
advanced sufficiently in the Home Domain for Home Theaters to ever seriously compete with the real
Theater experience, however with rapid strides in consumer tech on all fronts (Video/Audio/Acoustics)
as well has falling prices with greater volumes, it was just a matter of time before the quality of your
experience in a Home Theater would rival and eventually exceed that of a cinema theater.
Another key factor to consider in the Home theater market is the extremely relentless peer-driven social
and buying behaviour of Indians. Once a product or a segment becomes even minutely fashionable it
then spreads quickly with everyone wanting to replicate the same idea/thing in their lives as well. This
leads to an outsized incentive for brands/companies which are able to get popular and reach a minimum
network of influence.
For a country where spending is heavily dictated by peer-approval and validation, it took a long time for
Home theaters to become a fashionable ‘thing’, through most of the 1990’s and early 21’st century most
Indians had only 2 ways to display their affluence, a big house and then a car. To witness the rising GDP
in India through the years, all one needed to do was check the porch of an upper middle class family, as
Maruti Suzuki changed to Hyundai and Honda and even BMW or Audi!
With an expanding discretionary spend as a result of the country’s relentless economic growth over the
last 10-15 years, more Indians have branched into the upper-middle class and wealthy segments, and
now are looking for newer ways to flaunt their wealth and reiterate their social standing. Cars and
Homes have been the primary means to fulfill the same so far, but recently Home theaters have
emerged as an attractive alternative to distinguish oneself!

FAQs
We’ve listed commonly asked queries with our responses here.
I. What role do I have to play as a Franchisee?
Your primary role as a Franchisee will be as an investor, you will invest capital expenditure
initially to set up the branch and incur regular operating expenses (Overheads, Salaries) on a
monthly basis. For this investment, Thasmai offers an attractive return on investments which
is highlighted further in the financials section.
II. How do you ensure that Thasmai does not make a sale directly, or route an order
directly themselves without keeping Franchisee in the loop?
Our business (Home Automation & Theatre integration) is primary service driven. The cost
incurred for Thasmai personnel coming over from Head office to your city every time on a
service call or for execution is not financially feasible. Also, the timely response expected by
a customer (of 1-2 days) is not possible to achieve if we keep sending personnel from Head
office every time.
We face a reputational damage on many counts (delayed service response, falling out of
relationship with franchisee or stakeholders) which is not a risk worth taking for a few
orders.
III. What is to stop us (Franchisee) from procuring our own stock material from the OEMs,
why should be procure it through Thasmai?
While the Franchisee may attempt to procure stock directly through their regional
distributor, they would run into the following challenges;
Most Large OEMs like Harman won’t even provide an appointment with a single
city vendor picking up a few pieces of stock
Approaching a dealer directly brings with it the responsibility of stocking i.e.
there will be a pressure of minimum volumes every month and quarter.
Since Thasmai is dealing with Pan India volumes, we would be able to procure
the material at prices well below what your regional dealer would offer
Thasmai is also bearing the cost of inventory and warehousing charges, any
fluctuations in demand or supply (and its subsequent financial risk) is borne by
Thasmai without any impact to the Franchisee.
IV. What support will Thasmai offer to my branch, in terms of promotions or increasing
sales?
On any local promotion, marketing or advertising efforts, the franchisee is encouraged
to propose the business case to Thasmai, and on the basis of the feasibility of the
proposal, Thasmai will partly fund 20-50% of the expenses incurred (to be decided on a
case to case basis)
