Unwritten rules

Unwritten rules that we follow at Centroid;
1. Start from ground zero – We don’t know anything about the project- start like a kid – curiosity approach to question every obvious questions.
2. Learn to Unlearn – With our experience we carry lots of excess baggage, which might not be relevant with the changing scenarios. So we learn to unlearn and look at the scenario from the customers perspective. Understand the world they live in their shoes. Unwritten rules

Startup Energyly “TariffAlarm” – Industrial Designed at Centroid Launched on 26 Jan 2017

A Very interesting product, startup Energyly approached Centroid for its product to be designed. TariffAlarm aims at solving this problem by fixing this gadget between the meter and main switch. The home user can set the number of units say 450 or 470 units. When the consumption reaches the set value, an alarm is raised.
