Expansion of commercial and business hubs in Hyderabad

Strategically located, Panasonic Life Solutions’ store is an experience zone for buyers with a wide range of Home automation, smart and energy saver products.
The exclusive store will also display a wide range of advanced Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Solutions such as Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), Bidet-Panasonic Electronic Automatic Toilet seats and Bathroom Dryers enabling the consumers to experience the next-generation technology.
“Not only does the store targets individual customers, but would also provide a platform for the makers for the new India, the builders, contractors and architects fraternity, to experience the next-generation solutions, which they can, in turn, incorporate in their upcoming projects. This unique experience of sorts, would help the Indian consumer move up the ladder of comfort and choice, in a category which otherwise is largely driven by electricians and is associated with crowded electrical stores. The exclusive store will showcase our Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), Electronic Automatic Toilet seats and Bathroom Dryers enabling the consumers to experience the next-generation technology,” added Sharma.
