"Yes, so all of these things have started when I lost my wallet in the year 2017. I lost many cards and I had an interview appointment for a passport but I couldn't turn up. That is the reason we just thought to solve the problem. That's how we have launched our first version of smart wallets. Smart wallets are those which are live trackable wallet. You will never lose your wallet and with the help by using this smart wallet you will never lose your phone as well. So we have majorly three categories of products. We have been featured in Shark Tank India as well," he said.

"The most famous category is our Zarvis. Zarvis is a smart luggage. Till date, we were carrying the luggage. Now luggage can carry you. So it has a ride on mode. It has a follow me feature. It can follow you. It has a two-wheel balance mode, if you need to climb, you can easily go. These are the main features of this service. Then, in the luggage segment itself, we have live trackable luggage as well. Because you see in a railway station or airport, sometimes airlines don't tell you where your luggage is and you are always getting worried.... So we are removing that worry," he said.
"You will have live trackability. You can tell the airport staff that this is my live location of luggage. That is also having a full allowance from the airline regulations as well. And it is having a live trackability worldwide. So these are the smart luggage. Then I will come to the second category, that is smart bags," he added.

"So we have launched those kind of bags which is having a fingerprint lock access so that making it smarter so that no other person than you will be able to open that. So that is a smart way of uh Smart Bag. Third category, as I told you about the wallet, we also have accessories, keychains, and smart passport holders because you cannot afford to lose your passport. So our passport holder can give you a live trackability for three years, Android and iOS both," he said.
"So these are the products we have launched. We are going to launch the smart school bags as well. That is very interesting because at the age of kids, at the age of six to 14, you know India is now in Tier 1 cities, especially, there are nuclear families. Parents are always worried for their children, about their whereabouts. Even if they tend to come even 10 minutes or 15 minutes delayed, they're always worried. We are going to launch these smart school bags, which will have live trackability. You can always see the live location of your child. And it's not only the parents, father or mother, but both can track because it is also having a live sharing option as well. Once you share it, will be there," he added.
