It all started in 2014 when Mohit, Aditya and Mukesh stayed in a rented house for a period of time along with their other roommates in Jabalpur. One of their roommates lived by a forgetful attitude of not switching off the appliances after using; be it fan, tube light, laptops, computer, PS2. The matter used to recoil every time when they had to pay the electricity bill and adding to that was the house owner’s annoyance. What made the matter even worse was the skyrocketing of the electricity bills with time.

Although changing the attitude could lead to a few months’ lesser electricity bills but things kept repeating. This led them to look for a permanent solution to end this once and for all. And this idea led to the founding story of SharpNode.

A Rollercoaster Ride

Based in Mumbai, SharpNode was officially registered in 2016 with the sole purpose of developing innovative products and solutions

based on IoT focused towards Smart Home solution, Security solution and Smart City Projects.The initial days were undoubtedly tricky for them as they struggled financially in terms of funds and getting investors. Gradually over time they were able to escalate as they got their first funding from a Mumbai based investor in 2016. Until then, they relied on executing projects on a much smaller scale and educating their clients.
