Did you know? Cooking a simple paratha or giving your favorite dal a “tadka” can push kitchen AQI levels to a hazardous 900+, impacting your lungs, skin and hair? Recognizing this concern, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd., a trusted name in Indian home appliances, has launched India’s 1^st Kitchen Chimney range powered by real-time AirIQ Technology – the Sylvaire and AQNova Series. Combining intelligent technology with deep consumer insights, these chimneys ensure safer, cleaner, and healthier cooking.

Crompton AQNova
 

At the heart of the Sylvaire and AQNova chimneys lies Crompton’s patented AQSync Motor, which works in sync with AirIQ sensors to deliver intelligent suction management. It detects changes in air quality, optimizes energy use, and ensures quiet operation.

Key highlights of Crompton’s Smart Chimney Range:

• AirIQ (Patent Applied For): Senses your kitchen’s Air Quality Index (AQI) in real time and automatically adjusts the suction to improve air quality, with live AQI updates displayed digitally.

• AQSync BLDC Motor: A specially designed BLDC motor powered by Crompton’s indigenously developed smart algorithm that automatically modulates speed and suction based on the kitchen’s air quality. As it intelligently adjusts itself to the measured AQI, consumers no longer need to worry about changing the suction manually and can simply focus on cooking and enjoying a cleaner, more comfortable experience.

• Superior Suction & Low Noise: The Sylvaire Series delivers powerful suction of up to 2900 CMH while maintaining low noise levels of just 39-40 dB. This ensures consumers can enjoy a strong yet silent performance, allowing for a peaceful and pleasant cooking experience.

• Smart On: Advanced sensors detect temperature changes as you start cooking and switch the chimney on automatically.

• Intelli Auto Clean: Self-cleans every 30 hours of operation, ensuring hassle-free maintenance and long-lasting performance without manual cleaning.

Speaking about the launch, Aarushi Agarwal, Head – Large Kitchen Appliances and New Businesses, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd., said, “At Crompton, Our mission is to listen closely, design thoughtfully, and deliver meaningfully. Cooking fills our homes with love – but it also fills our kitchens with pollutants that can push the air quality index beyond 1000. For those who spend hours nurturing their families, this invisible harm affects their lungs, skin and overall well-being. With the Sylvaire and AQNova Series, India’s first kitchen chimneys powered by real-time AirIQ Technology, we are tackling this challenge head-on. These chimneys intelligently monitor air quality and automatically adjust suction to ensure healthier air and cleaner kitchens.

In a move to bridge critical gaps in India’s construction supply chain, Tattva, the Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) arm of Somany Impresa Group (home to Hindware), today announced a strategic investment of INR 6 crore in Mad Over Buildings (MOB), a fintech-enabled B2B e-commerce platform specializing in building materials.

(L-R): Vivek Kumar, Founder Mad Over Building and Shashvat Somany, Founder, Tattva and Group Strategy Head, Somany Impresa Group

This partnership gives MOB access to Hindware’s extensive distribution network, accelerating market penetration and expanding its footprint across India’s fast-growing construction ecosystem. MOB’s tech-enabled Line of Credit for secondary and tertiary sales and escrow-backed marketplace addresses financing challenges for smaller distributors and retailers, enhancing liquidity and enabling seamless transactions. The platform is focused on emerging architects, contractors, and builders, providing an untapped market opportunity. Hindware, through this partnership will leverage MOB’s vast and expansive e-commerce prowess to drive stronger sales momentum across categories.

“Our investment in MOB reflects Tattva’s strategic vision to not only participate in, but actively shape the future of India’s building materials ecosystem,” said Mr. Shashvat Somany, Founder, Tattva and Group Strategy Head, Somany Impresa Group. “MOB’s approach to digitizing the supply chain, coupled with its innovative financing solutions, perfectly aligns with our objective of fostering technology advancements that drive efficiency and unlock new growth avenues across Hindware Limited. This investment underscores our commitment to staying at the forefront of market innovation and supporting solutions that empower our vast network and the industry at large.”

Mr. Sriharsha Bandaluppi, Head of Tattva said, “MOB’s strong connect to mid and low-segment architects, contractors, and builders, a segment often overlooked by larger players, is exciting. Their ‘Industry 1st tech-enabled Line of Credit’ for secondary and tertiary sales is a game-changer. It directly empowers Hindware’s distributors and dealers by improving access to financing and driving faster transaction cycles, while simultaneously accelerating MOB’s market reach and growth.”

The investment in MOB is strategically timed to leverage the rapid evolution of India’s construction technology and materials procurement landscape. The building materials sector represents a high-growth industry with a clear pathway to profitability, yet its digital adoption remains at just 2%, highlighting immense untapped potential for platforms like MOB to drive digital transformation and gain market share.

Mr. Vivek Kumar, Founder Mad Over Building said, “With Hindware’s INR 6 crore investment through Tattva, we are doubling down on our vision to digitize India’s US$200 billion construction and interiors industry. MOB is creating the country’s first curated Line-of-Credit and escrow-backed marketplace, unifying every category from civil materials to sustainable and interior solutions under one transparent ecosystem. Having built MOB from the ground up, I believe this marks India’s inflection point in Construction Tech, where capital, technology, and trust converge to create exponential value over the next decade.”
