Mysuru:

‘Smartivate,’ a Start-Up co-founded by two Indians — Anand Narasipuram and Jeevan Dasan — alumni of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany and the EIT Innoenergy Master School, located in Karlsruhe, Germany, has won the prestigious ‘Smart-Home Deutschland Award’ for the year 2019. The Award was given to the Start-Up for its product, ‘Configurator for plug and play smart home devices.’

Incidentally, Jeevan Dasan, an alumnus of the National Institute of Engineering (NIE), Mysuru, is the son of Dr. A.S. Dasan, Professor of English and Director, Shukrodaya’s Academy for HRD, Alanahalli Layout, Mysuru and Prof. Nalini Dasan.

‘Smartivate’ was one of the top three nominations shortlisted out of a large number of contestants from across Germany for the Award. The award ceremony, held last month in the historic ‘City Hall of Berlin,’ was hosted by ‘Smart-home Initiative, Germany eV’, a cross-industry federal association based in Berlin. Since 2012, the Association has been recognising commitment to technological excellence and quality of smart home products of companies, start-ups and student projects from across Europe.

‘Smartivate,’ a fine team-venture, actively involved in building a web-platform as one-stop-shop for smart home solutions, was launched one-and-a-half-years ago with a business start-up grant awarded by the Government of Germany.
