India

Having spent nearly 2 decades in the AEC profession, I co-founded SmartVizX in 2015. Throughout my professional journey as an architect, I have played various business and creative design head roles. I have observed gaps in the traditional way of approaching a design project. I have had to communicate the design vision through limited means such as 2D plans and static 3D renderings, and this led me to realize the need for a product where the client would experience the design, make real time changes, understand design options and take critical decisions quickly. This led to the creation of Trezi, a VR product for the building industry.
