Being the CEO of Spintly has given me a front row seat to the changes that have occurred in the access control market over the years and it has been both a challenging and exciting journey. This year has been very important for the development of our company and not only in the technological aspect but also in the aspect of becoming one of the leading companies in the market.
We have seen great progress in the area of digital transformation especially through the implementation of digital wallets that have changed the face of access control. This transformation of physical security from being mainly based on hardware to being based on software has enabled us to provide more integrated and dynamic solutions. With the changing environment, the very concept of security is changing as well, this is because of factors like increasing cases of cyber-attacks, change in work culture, and increasing use of mobile devices.
My Vision and Leadership
I have made sure that we have adopted new technologies as well as strategic business development opportunities that have revolutionalized the industry. From adopting AI at the edge to improvement of our IoT system, our passion to be the best has taken us to greater heights to change the industry trends.
At Spintly, we are fully confident in the effectiveness of our products that is why we install them across all our offices. This allows us and our team to interact with our products on a daily basis, ensuring firsthand experience with the technologies we develop and provide
The Shift to Smarter Access Control
Access control is one of the most important concepts in the modern physical security approaches for contemporary building structures. It is not just a matter of restricting people from entering but also gathering information on the number of people in the building and how they use the building including the frequency of access. Such information is very useful in decision making on other security measures to be taken.
Also, the use of mobile access has become popular in the recent past due to the numerous benefits that come with it. Mobile access solutions have been on the market for about a decade now, but the concept is still in its infancy and is starting to pick up due to the adoption of such solutions by major consumer brands. Thus, the linkage of an individual’s identity to his or her device not only enhances security but also enhances the efficiency of the authentication process, shifting from other, often less secure, methods, including keycards, which can be easily lost, stolen, or duplicated.
Strategic Milestones and Innovations
Some of the major achievements that were realized this year are being verified as an Apple certified partner for mobile credentials and we also developed a partnership with Cisco Meraki , Eagle eye, Focus AI where we have improved our network. We are glad to have Accel on board, a prominent venture capital firm that has backed companies such as Flipkart and Swiggy, as an investor in Spintly. This investment not only accelerates our growth but also supports our goals for the future of access control solutions.
A Word on Leadership
Leadership is about making people better because you are around and making sure that the impact lasts even after you are gone. This is the philosophy that is embraced by Spintly as we seek to grow, challenge and change the industry in all that we do. It is a great example of how great vision and dedication can lead to amazing results and how one should never stop trying to be the best.
Plans for 2025
Spintly is expecting to grow further in the next year and innovate even more. The future development includes the integration of more analytical capabilities in order to generate more actionable insights at the edge and to develop the IoT systems and platforms to be more integrated and secure. We are also planning on growing our markets and applying for our solutions deployed to new regions, while working on the concept of flexible, efficient, and the most important – user friendly access control systems.
Furthermore, our goal is to enhance the commitments towards sustainability and data privacy as not only the security solutions but the company’s solutions should make a positive impact in the society and environment.
India’s Thriving Market
The market of access control in India is rapidly growing and Spintly can be considered as one of the main drivers of this process.

In the last few years, our mobile and cloud-based solutions have been well received across various sectors including residential, commercial workspace, education and healthcare mainly because of the flexibility it offers to the end-users and the administrators.
Looking Ahead
For the next quarter of 2025, we expect the Indian market to keep on growing while focusing on the development of hardware in the field of IT as well as software services. This is expected to be mainly driven by the IT sector and followed by BFSI, datacenters, manufacturing, healthcare and logistics sectors.
