CRACKING A SMART BIZ DEAL

Witnessing a huge potential in the mobile services industry, Praful Wadyalkar, Founder & CEO, Smart Services Pack, struck the chord by launching it and now planning to take it pan-India

CRACKING A SMART BIZ DEAL

What is Smart Services Pack all about?

With the increase in dependency on smart devices, mobile users lives have become so comfortable that they fear to spend even a few seconds without the mobile. Post buying the handset,the users utmost concern is regarding the device getting spoilt, damaged or lost. Witnessing a gap in this industry Smart Services Pack (SSP) took its inception. SSP is a one-stop shop from maintenance, upkeep to repair of smart devices. We are offering hi-tech repair hubs, doorstep repair services, authorized parts and more. The ‘smart’ 21st century electronics-user knows that smart devices are better off with SSP.

How unorganized is this market in India? What kind of potential do you see?

Indian market for this industry is highly fragmented & unorganized. Brands offer one-year warranty for its mobile and after that the users are left with limited choices. SSP is building high-tech repair network and process-driven solution for after-sale cases.

Your brand’s competitive advantage for an investor.

We convert offsite service into doorstep solution and upgrade repair quality in economic cost.

How has been your professional journey?

Prior launching this, I started as a service engineer at Bajaj Auto and then joined Kinetic Engineering, where I represented Gujarat for quality control panel meets. I had also contributed for LML and Whirlpool. Eventually moved to Samsung India for a stint of six years.

What was the turning point in your business?

Smartphone penetration by new entrant brands and SIDBI series A funding to SSP changed the way we do business.

What is the demand in the industry today?

In this competitive market, the end user demands hassle free & door step solution for its handsent. For out of warranty handsets, mobile-users require genuine & authentic service provider . Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEMs) & new entrants in this industry need ready after-sales service networks & right service partners & I think SSP fits right.
