HOGAR CONTROLS Vs HOGAR CONTROLS India Pvt Ltd

HOGAR CONTROLS which was the ORIGINAL FOUNDING COMPANY incorporated in 2016 by the founder’s Karan Kumar and Vijay Kumar. The original HOGAR CONTROLS never had any external partner nor have any business issues, founders continue to be the sole owners of the company and run the smart home business till date since its inception in 2014.

Whereas, Z-WAVE INDIA Pvt Ltd Which got renamed as HOGAR CONTROLS India Pvt Ltd in 2018 in which HOGAR CONTROLS founder’s Karan kumar and Vijay kumar were the promoters and Vishnu reddy was added as partner at later stage got into partnership troubles by 2020, when Vishnu Reddy with his fraudulent mind and greedy nature instigated hostile takeover of the complete ownership.

Misusing the trust of founders, when Vishnu Reddy took charge and self-proclaimed as CEO of the company he fired CMO, HR, Sales, Technical and all the experienced talented team members and replaced them with his own incompetent teams all the toubles started and consumer complaints raised along with decline in revenues. Vishnu Reddy’s inexperience business ideas and arrogant decisions created chaos in the company due to which Business went into losses and never reached what it could have achieved.

More troubles started for the HOGAR CONTROLS India Pvt Ltd when its incompetent teams copied and made cheap replica versions of ORIGINAL HOGAR CONTROLS Products which were originally designed and developed by founders Karan Kumar and Vijay Kumar. Few small local companies Auckam Technologies and Auza technologies based in Chennai were hired to do the cheap copy versions. Added to it, few Chinese company’s products were sourced and rebranded as HOGAR CONTROLS locally. There was no real R&D or manufacturing of the HOGAR products in house.

After all, the copy version products could not stand long in the market due to its miserable quality and poor stability which run on pirated software and copied hardware. System integrator who were unaware of the facts purchased and faced lot of customer issue and returned the products.

To overcome the reputational damages, Vishnu Reddy manipulated company balance sheets and spent more and more on show off and self-promotion through paid PR activities.

Facts remain clear : Founders have worked tirelessly towards creating valuable business in Home Automation industry, and gained good business and personal reputation since 2012. The fact remains clear that, original company HOGAR CONTROLS incorporated by founders and its Trademarks, Intellectual properties were always with founders only are the SOLE OWNERS and (OEM) ORIGINAL EQUIPEMNT MANUFACTURERS of the HOGAR CONTROLS Products.

HOGAR CONTROLS INDIA PVT LTD which went into various partnership legal issues and currently in investor Vishnu Reddy’s control was a trading company and not the OEM of HOGAR Controls products.

Founders KARAN KUMAR and VIJAY KUMAR always believe in TRUST, HONESTY and VALUE towards its customers and channel partners through thier Highest Quality products and Services. Read extra information at Hogar Controls Ceo.
