“Innovating for excellence”

Being a professional and innovative with honesty is a rare combination, which can be seen through visions of GVC Systems founder, Vinay Chaddha. With over 29 years of experience of working with electronics and micro controllers, he has a come a long way and has proved his mettle.

GVC Systems Pvt Ltd was incorporated by Vinay Chaddha in 2004. It started commercial operations from April 2006 from Roorkee. GVC Systems is a registered company with Department of Industries in Roorkee, with ISO certification and develops embedded applications for day to day applications like a wide variety of household appliances and even industrial machineries.

Business Idea

GVC Systems are developing products that can add intelligence and reliability to existing designs. They are working on designs and products that are specific to India -- rural as well as urban markets.

Vinay’s Business idea is to use  tiny, low cost computers to control household, office and industrial goods. “For instance, a small  computer can be produced at less that Rs 200 and sold to a household at Rs 400. This can help the household save electricity of that amount in 2 years time or add convenience or comfort which is worth more than that.” he explains.

“My area of fun and enjoyment is work with low cost tiny size computers. I got my first exposure to them in 1981. I made first computer which can calculate day of the week for any given date, month and year at a very low cost of just Rs 1200/- ....” he states.

He further informs us “Recently I have build a much powerful but small computer at less than Rs 500/- that can switch off and switch on lights depending upon the week of the year and also glow at 50% intensity between 12:00 midnight to 05:00 in the morning.”

He explains that these tiny size and low cost computers though very small are size and cost are intelligent and really power ful. “The program is written in ʻCʼ language and needs all skills as taught in MCA or B.Tech!”

Their business plan is not sell to end customer, but to a manufacturer who is already making products like elevators, bath tubs, water filters etc. They do business by selling complete designs, selling programmed ics (like selling CD with program) and even by selling complete board that can be used in final product.

Target Market

Today, most of the products are getting smaller and efficient. Vinay says “Manufacturing them is possible by using embedded devices in the products. Embedded devices are small tiny size computers with built in software. While you see mobile phones and digital camera and there growing market, there is a very large scope and need for use in all devices used at home or office.”

He further adds, “There are enough opportunities to sell over two crore embedded devices in India. The typical buyers will be middle class urban homes to farmers in villages and even road side vendors or  the poor house holds in rural or urban villages.”

GVC Systems makes sure that their innovative product is available to urban sector as well as the rural parts of the country.
