“As India continues to urbanise and build smart cities, mobility and smart city safety becomes prime importance.”

The last sixteen months of mandatory work from home has highlighted the poor performances from the majority of the doors with heavy distractions noticed by each and everyone causing low concentration levels and inefficiencies.

The day to day household noises from TV sets, music systems, pressure cookers, mixers, blenders, children playing at home etc. causing a high amount of noise pollution which are heard on video conferences even if one closes the door to keep such noises out.

Doors installed with the ideology of a panel to close the hole in the wall showcase poor performance with terms of reducing sound transmission. Indians have accepted defects observed in a door like swelling, warping, bending, high sound transfer as natural characteristics of doors, similar to how potholes have been accepted to be an integral part of roads.
