Gone are the days when automation was a term of amazement and smart homes were just a dream. With the invention of such robust technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Intelligence, Machine Learning and several other powerful tools, the world of automation is getting closer to us with each passing day and is assisting us in carrying out even the simplest of the day-to-day chores. Though this cuttingedge technology helps us in getting the work done in an instant, it proves to be a rather inconceivably pricy business which tends to push people away and make them look at it as a luxurious option. Taking a cue from this notion, many startups are coming forward in the market and are making an effort to turn every single house into a smart automated home at an economical price. One particular company that is making significant strides in this segment is Mumbai-based iabode led by an enthusiastic go-getter Sauarabh Vasa.
