Built by operators. Backed by builders.

Aura Smart is on a mission to fix India's broken smart community — replacing fragmented vendors and unsupported imports with one full-stack platform, made and serviced in India.

Our story

One platform for every entry, every switch, every alert.

For too long, builders have pieced together smart-community solutions from unrelated vendors — video door phones, smart locks, access control and automation that don't talk to each other. Residents end up with a different app for every device, and service after install rarely lasts a year.

Aura Smart, from Latigid Engineering Pvt Ltd, was founded to change that. We are an Indian OEM — we design and manufacture our own CCTV, video door phones, smart locks and automation, then unify them into a single, AI-native platform supported under one roof. Built, not imported. The result is security, automation, access and energy that finally work as one, with a manufacturer who stands behind the warranty long after handover.

What sets us apart

The only Indian full-stack player.

Most competitors do one product line and import the rest. Aura does the entire stack — and manufactures in India.

Why now

The wave is now.

A once-in-a-decade market opening — and Aura, as an Indian manufacturer, is positioned right at the centre.

The China exit

From April 2026, uncertified Chinese CCTV brands are restricted under mandatory STQC norms — vacating roughly a third of the market.

A $14 Bn market

India's CCTV market is projected to reach $14.25 Bn by 2031, up from $4.8 Bn in 2025.

Compliance over price

New STQC and BIS norms favour compliant Indian OEMs — trust and traceability, not just the cheapest import.

Make-in-India push

PLI incentives and local-content rules favour Indian manufacturers like Aura.
