Bajaj Electricals has entered into a strategic alliance with the UK-based firm Gooee to create lighting products and solutions on the Internet of Things (IoT)) platform.

IoT refers to the connection of devices, other than computers and smartphones, to the Internet.

Under this arrangement, Gooee will be the first “full stack operating platform” providing Bajaj Electricals a service-driven framework to deliver IoT applications to their customers.

“Intelligent lighting is emerging as the next big thing for new age electrical solution companies across the globe. LaaS (Lighting as a Service) is gaining momentum and we at Bajaj Electricals see a huge ‘Technology Convergence’, with rapid technology evolution in every field. LED lighting, for example, is becoming a custom in the new ‘green’ world,” said R. Sundararajan, Executive President & Country Head, Luminaires Business Unit at Bajaj Electricals.

“This initiative will help expedite and give concrete shape to our digital strategy, to address emerging and future markets,” Sundararajan added.

Bajaj Electricals recently entered into an arrangement with Geneva-based WISeKey International to create an IoT platform for more than 100 million lighting ID appliances each year.
