The Pulse

The inauguration of the GM Smart Living Studio represents a strategic pivot for the brand as it anchors its North India growth in Lucknow. Far from a traditional showroom, the space is engineered to be “experiential”. Visitors can witness firsthand how modular switches, smart lighting and AI-integrated home systems function within a real-world domestic setting.

In an official statement shared on her Facebook profile, Smt. Sushma Kharakwal expressed her pride in the initiative, noting:

“Lucknow, which is famous for its rich culture and tehzeeb, is today strengthening its identity as a smart and sustainable city. This concept of ‘Smart Living’ is not only a symbol of technical progress but an important initiative towards providing safe, convenient and better lifestyles to citizens”.

The presence of Suniel Shetty further underscored the brand’s focus on blending reliability with style. By establishing a dedicated depot in the city alongside this studio, GM Modular is solving the logistical hurdle of availability, ensuring that the latest in home tech reaches UP households with minimal lead time.

The Big Picture

The Indian electrical and home automation industry is shifting from “utility” to “lifestyle”. While global players focus heavily on pure software solutions, Indian brands like GM Modular are winning by creating physical touchpoints. In a market like Lucknow, where homeowners value both modern amenities and traditional trust, having a physical studio in Gomti Nagar is a massive competitive advantage over online-only or distributor-led models. Globally, the industry is moving toward “Integrated Living”, where energy efficiency is as important as aesthetics, a theme clearly reflected in this new flagship.

The Inside Intel

GM Modular isn’t just about switches; they are a manufacturing powerhouse. While this studio serves the North, the company is concurrently expanding its production capabilities, including a massive facility in Vijayawada. A bit of trivia for the fans: Suniel Shetty has been more than just a face for the brand; he is known to be an active advocate for how smart technology can simplify living for the elderly, a core part of the “Smart Living” philosophy.

The UDHQ Take

At Unbox Daily HQ, we’ve seen plenty of showrooms but the GM Smart Living Studio stands out because it addresses the “Experience Gap”. For most homeowners in Uttar Pradesh, home automation has felt like a “Delhi or Mumbai thing.” By bringing a high-spec studio and a local depot to Lucknow, GM has removed the friction of long wait times and technical uncertainty.

What brings real value to your table is the local depot. It means that when you decide to upgrade your home, the support and product are already in your backyard. If you are renovating or building a new home in Lucknow, skipping this studio would be a missed opportunity. It’s a practical, local solution for anyone looking to make their daily life a little more “hands-free” without the usual logistics headache. It’s a win for the Lucknow homeowner who wants global tech with local accountability.
