Eros isn\u2019t just adapting to change \u2014 we\u2019re shaping what\u2019s next.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\"><strong data-start=\"322\" data-end=\"452\">Q: What are some of the most significant technological innovations your brand has introduced recently in the elevator segment?<\/strong><br data-start=\"452\" data-end=\"455\" \/>At Eros, we believe innovation is not just about technology \u2014 it\u2019s about improving everyday experiences and ensuring long-term value for our customers. In recent years, we\u2019ve introduced several breakthrough features that reflect this philosophy. One advancement is the integration of Automatic Rescue Devices (ARDs) as a standard safety feature, ensuring passengers are never stranded during power failures. Our gearless, energy-efficient motors and regenerative drives are helping clients reduce power consumption and operational costs, while our touchless, app-based elevator controls are meeting the demands of a post-pandemic world. Additionally, we\u2019ve focused heavily on customisable design solutions that blend seamlessly with modern architecture \u2014 without compromising functionality. We\u2019re not just building elevators \u2014 we\u2019re building future-ready mobility solutions designed to serve a smarter, safer, and more sustainable India.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\"><strong data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1537\">Q: In high-rise buildings and high-footfall environments, what measures do you take to ensure maximum safety and operational reliability?<\/strong><br data-start=\"1537\" data-end=\"1540\" \/>When it comes to high-rise buildings and high-footfall environments, we understand that even the smallest lapse can have a large impact. That\u2019s why at Eros, safety and reliability are embedded into the very DNA of our systems. We take a comprehensive approach \u2014 combining cutting-edge technology, robust engineering, and stringent quality control. Our elevators come equipped with features like Automatic Rescue Devices, overload sensors, fire-rated doors, and IS\/EN 81-compliant safety systems to handle emergency scenarios with confidence. Operationally, we deploy AI-enabled group control systems and smart dispatch logic to manage high-traffic movement efficiently \u2014 reducing congestion and wait times. We also enable real-time monitoring through IoT-based diagnostics, ensuring that service teams can respond even before an issue disrupts operations. Ultimately, we don\u2019t just design for vertical movement \u2014 we design for peace of mind. In every high-rise, mall, metro, or hospital we serve, our goal is to ensure that every passenger feels safe, and every ride is smooth, consistent, and dependable.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\"><strong data-start=\"2649\" data-end=\"2784\">Q: What initiatives has your company taken to reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint of your vertical mobility systems?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2784\" data-end=\"2787\" \/>As a company rooted in building the future, we recognise that our responsibility goes beyond just vertical mobility \u2014 it extends to the environment we\u2019re helping shape. At Eros, sustainability is not an add-on; it\u2019s embedded in how we design, manufacture, and maintain our systems. We\u2019ve invested in energy-efficient gearless motors, regenerative drives that return unused energy to the grid, and eco-mode functionalities that optimise power use during off-peak hours. Our elevators use LED lighting with smart dimming, and our control systems are designed for low standby power consumption. On the manufacturing side, we\u2019re focused on green production processes, responsible sourcing, and building modular systems that minimise waste and extend lifecycle value. Our modernisation offerings also help clients replace legacy systems with eco-friendly upgrades \u2014 a small change with a big environmental impact. Ultimately, our goal is to build elevators that don\u2019t just move people \u2014 but move us closer to a more energy-efficient and sustainable tomorrow.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\"><strong data-start=\"3844\" data-end=\"4005\">Q: Looking ahead, what major trends or disruptions do you foresee in the vertical mobility space, and how is your brand preparing to lead the transformation?<\/strong><br data-start=\"4005\" data-end=\"4008\" \/>The vertical mobility space is at the cusp of a generational shift \u2014 where elevators are no longer just modes of transport, but intelligent systems that are becoming integral to the smart buildings and cities of tomorrow. We\u2019re seeing clear trends: the rise of AI-enabled traffic management, IoT-driven predictive maintenance, touchless user interfaces, and sustainability-first designs. There\u2019s also a growing demand for hyper-customised, modular systems that cater to unique architectural and functional needs across sectors. At Eros, we are investing heavily in future-ready manufacturing, R&amp;D innovation, and digital transformation to lead this change. Our upcoming smart factory in Pune is a reflection of that commitment \u2014 enabling us to deliver smarter, faster, and more sustainable solutions at scale. But beyond technology, we believe the true disruption will come from how seamlessly mobility integrates into people\u2019s lives \u2014 safely, silently, and intelligently. And that\u2019s where we aim to lead \u2014 by shaping not just the future of elevators, but the future of everyday movement.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RISING RESPONSIBLY IN INDIA\u2019S VERTICAL MOBILITY LANDSCAPEKARL DIVECHACMD, Eros Group For decades, Eros Group has stood for trust and reliability<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38563,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4424,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-131317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interviews","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanacres.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanacres.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanacres.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanacres.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanacres.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=131317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/urbanacres.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131317\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanacres.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/38563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanacres.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=131317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanacres.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=131317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanacres.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=131317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
