Vision was founded in 2014, and has since made significant inroads within the Indian retail market with its Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain-based customer identification platform ION. A platform like ION is being implemented in India for the first time. NV boasts of working with clients such as Tata Croma, Shoppers Stop, Future Group, Bestseller, Globus, among others on multiple pilot projects.
In the blockchain space, using NV’s proprietary (patent pending) sensor technology, brick-and-mortar retailers can now identify any customer who walks into a store in real time.
