INPOD – fully composite monolithic modular building system launched in Mumbai
INPOD, the fully composite monolithic modular building system has been launched in a specially built site ‘INPOD World’ at Thane near Mumbai.
According to the inventor and lead designer for INPOD, Nilesh Jadhav, “PODs are slated to bridge the gap in the current market for portable structures that have the highest standard of quality and luxury.”
The structures or PODs are portable, lightweight, strong and yet beautifully designed. “Each INPOD is four times stronger than its RCC counterparts. They are built using INSKIN, which is a unique composite building material developed from German methods so far used in the creation of yachts and floating homes. The technology lends the structures qualities such as crack resistance, extreme robustness and a tactile, hygienic surface. The PODs have a unique plug and play model and thus are almost immediately installed and ready to use,” informed Mr Nilesh.
On the launch of the INPOD, Mr Nilesh said, “We have been working on the R&D for INPOD for over a year and a half now. Through all its iterations this is the most exciting time for INPOD.  I wanted to bring a product to the market that has a personality and will give a unique and pleasurable customer experience. I feel we have successfully achieved that”.Jens Wieland, Technical Manager and composites expert for INPOD, said, “Using German technology similar to luxury yachts as a basis for our production methods, we have modified it and created a building that is Indian at its core. We have used lean manufacturing and tried to produce a sophisticated space that is simply built.”
Office spaces are the first line being produced. Fitted with top of the line features, the innovative cabins are suitable even for challenging terrain such as building sites or beaches, as well as uneven hilly areas. Initially, the company is targeting the real estate developers who can use INPOD as their site office. In future, the INPOD line of portable structures will expand into second homes or luxury villas, exhibition centres, kiosks etc.
