SmartVizX

SmartVizX Private Limited operates as a virtualization company, providing virtual reality (VR) based solutions for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Founded in 2014 by the husband-and-wife team Gautam Tewari and Tithi G. Tewari, the Noida-based firm emerged from their combined decades of experience in architecture and design. Both founders held senior positions in large design firms and identified a critical communication gap between architects, designers, and their clients, which often led to costly rework and project delays. Motivated to solve this industry-wide frustration, they left their jobs to explore how immersive technologies could transform the design and collaboration process.

The company's flagship product is Trezi, a VR-based SaaS platform that launched in 2018. Trezi enables architects, designers, product manufacturers, and clients to collaborate within a fully immersive, true-to-scale virtual environment. The platform allows users to upload 3D architectural models from software like Revit and SketchUp and experience them in VR, facilitating real-time design reviews, modifications, and approvals. This process eliminates the need for physical mock-ups, saving significant time and costs. Key features include exploring different materials, adjusting lighting, creating location tags for easy navigation, and conducting collaborative sessions where multiple stakeholders can join the same virtual space remotely. The platform's business model is primarily subscription-based, with different tiers and pricing for various user types, including architects, product manufacturers, and educational institutions.

SmartVizX targets stakeholders across the building industry, including architecture firms, interior designers, real estate developers, and building product manufacturers. Its client roster includes prominent names like Schneider Electric, GMR, Saint Gobain, and several of India's largest architecture firms. The company has successfully secured multiple funding rounds, accumulating a total of $5.24 million over five rounds. Its first funding was in March 2016, and the latest was a Series A round in December 2022 for $2 million, led by investors such as World V, Auxano Capital, and She Capital. Other significant investors include YourNest, Indian Angel Network, and Rockstud Capital.
