Are electronic locks the key to safe homes?
(NOTE: This article was originally published in the India Today Home issue dated July 2025)If you ask me, the simple act of not misplacing house keys deserves its own Nobel Prize. After all, forget aesthetics and architectural elegance—home security often boils down to thick doors, a series of locks, and iron bars. So naturally, when I got the chance to upgrade from fumbling keys to a smart lock, I leaped at the opportunity. Here's my hands-on experience with the Godrej Advantis FEATURES, SMARTER LIVINGThe Advantis IoT9 isn't your ordinary lock, it opens remotely from practically anywhere on the planet. It speaks multiple languages—English, Hindi, and regional dialects—making it both smart and culturally inclusive. Integration with Alexa and Google Home means you can boss your lock around with your voice. Need to let someone in temporarily? Generate one-time passwords via the app. Plus, with nine access modes, ranging from wearables and biometric scans to old-school mechanical override, it practically begs you to ditch traditional keys. INSTALLATION, A MINOR SAGAGetting the Advantis IoT9 installed is straightforward, thanks to Godrej's helpful expert who arrives at your doorstep. However, if you have a vintage door, brace yourself for potential breakage, carpenter visits, and cosmetic touch-ups. I encountered some hiccups during installation, but thankfully, they were swiftly handled by the THE LEARNING CURVELet's be honest, many of us aren't exactly tech wizards, and initially, the Advantis IoT9 felt like deciphering alien technology. Every user must download an app, verify their email, and input a pin—a process that even our household's resident tech guru found slightly puzzling. But after the initial learning phase, operating the lock became a lot easier.I personally opted for fingerprint access, numeric pin, and smartphone unlocking. Each method begins with a gentle touch on the keypad to awaken the system—sometimes it accepts your fingerprint instantly; other times, patience is key (pun intended). For numeric entry, remember the sacred ritual: gentle graze, enter your pin and press '#'. Constant pin updates via the app can be annoying. And if your lock is slightly low on battery expect a 'ping' from the app every 20 minutes. Though Godrej promises improvements are on the SECURE, AND SLIGHTLY QUIRKYWith its made-in-India tag and a host of interesting features, such as temporary unrestricted access, an anti-prank alarm triggered after five incorrect attempts, and a break-in alert, the Advantis IoT9 offers substantial peace of mind. Sure, there are more than a few quirks to iron out, but has it made key-fumbling a thing of the past? to India Today Magazine- Ends

Tier II boost: Godrej buys 50 acres in Raipur for premium plotted project
Godrej Properties Ltd. (GPL), one of India's top real estate developers, on Wednesday announced its maiden foray into Chhattisgarh's capital city, Raipur, through the acquisition of approximately 50 acres of land. The project, located off Old Dhamtari Road. The project, slated to launch in early 2026, will feature a premium plotted residential development spanning an estimated 9.5 lakh sq. ft. of saleable area. This move marks Godrej's continued focus on scaling its presence in Tier II growth corridors through plotted developments—an asset class increasingly preferred by both homebuyers and long-term investors for its flexibility, faster turnaround time, and appreciation potential. Why Raipur, and Why Now? Raipur—Chhattisgarh's capital—is emerging as a key real estate hotspot, backed by infrastructure investments and rising middle-class aspirations. The site's location near Old Dhamtari Road offers excellent connectivity to Central Raipur, the airport, and railway station. It also benefits from proximity to the Atal Path (Raipur–Naya Raipur Expressway) and upcoming Raipur–Hyderabad and Raipur–Visakhapatnam corridors— 'There's a clear shift toward Tier II and III cities as engines of real estate growth. Locations like Raipur now offer the perfect blend of infrastructure readiness, rising disposable incomes, and demand for secure land-based assets,' said Gaurav Pandey, MD & CEO, Godrej Properties. The Raipur project is part of Godrej's broader land acquisition spree in emerging regions. The company is expected to announce more plotted townships in markets like Nagpur, Bhubaneswar, and Jaipur in the coming quarters. Recently, Godrej Properties acquired a licensed land in Panipat for Rs 600 crore, which is spread over 40 acres and has a potential developable area of 3 million sq ft. In June, Godrej Properties acquired and will develop a 16-acre land parcel in Upper Kharadi, Pune. Development on the land will primarily comprise premium group housing and high-street retail. The project will have a developable potential of around 2.5 million square feet with an estimated revenue potential of Rs 3,100 crore. Investment Case for Plotted Developments The Raipur project aligns with Godrej's strategy of leveraging early-mover advantage in Tier II cities through plotted layouts. Plots offer several financial upsides: Lower entry cost compared to metros Flexible build timelines, lowering capital lock-in Independent asset ownership, attractive for inheritance and resale Faster approvals and execution, enabling quicker monetisation As previously reported by Business Standard, developers including DLF, Birla Estates, and Puravankara are aggressively chasing similar formats in cities such as Coimbatore, Indore, and Mysuru—capitalising on a ₹10-lakh-crore real estate opportunity predicted for non-metros by 2030. Project: Godrej Plotted Development, Raipur Location: Old Dhamtari Road (proximity to Atal Path) Size: ~50 acres | 9.5 lakh sq. ft. saleable area Launch timeline: Likely early 2026
