Hero Group's Qubo crosses Rs 275 cr revenue in FY25, looks to expand footprint across products and markets
New Delhi: Hero Group's smart devices brand Qubo has crossed Rs 275 crore in revenue in FY25, shipping over a million devices across India, said a company's top official. "As we scale, our focus remains on deepening the Qubo ecosystem while expanding our footprint across products and markets,' Nikhil Rajpal , founder and CEO of Qubo, told ETRetail in an interview. Qubo plans to deepen its focus on home security and dashcams while expanding into smart appliances and automotive accessories. 'Looking ahead, we're doubling down on home security and dashcams, while expanding into new categories like smart appliances and other automotive accessories,' Rajpal said, adding that these devices will work harmoniously through a unified app. The company is also capitalizing on the rapid advancements in AI and image or video processing technologies. 'Our AI-powered devices, like security cameras that detect unusual activity and scare off intruders, offer proactive protection, not just passive recording,' he said. On the distribution side, Qubo has established a strong omnichannel presence across Amazon, Flipkart, its own D2C platform, and over 3,000 retail stores nationwide. 'FY26 will see Qubo growing its presence in Q-com, along with expanding into many more cities and potentially, even international geographies,' Rajpal said. Commenting on the competitive landscape, Rajpal said that the biggest opportunity lies in delivering a connected device ecosystem built through homegrown innovation. 'Few Indian brands have built their own AI-powered technology from the ground up—and we take immense pride in being one of them.' Profitability metrics are 'trending strongly,' Rajpal added, supported by operational efficiency, vertical integration, and proprietary R&D efforts. While Qubo is currently well-capitalized, the company is open to strategic partnerships and capital infusion to fuel tech development, brand building, and regional expansion. Started its journey in 2019 with Smart Security Cameras, the company's portfolio now includes smart door locks, video doorbells, AI-powered security cameras , smart air purifiers, dashcams, bikecams, GPS trackers, and more.

Switzerland's Hero Group names new CEO
Swiss food company Hero Group has promoted chief business officer Christian Schierbaum to the position of CEO. Schierbaum will succeed Rob Versloot, who is stepping down after over 12 years at the helm of the company behind brands such as Schwartau, Semper and Freche Freunde. In a statement, Hero said the group had been 'very successfully transformed' during Versloot's tenure from a decentralised holding into 'integrated, focused, and fast-growing' company. Versloot said: 'After having grown the company consistently at double-digit pace in the last three years, and having taken measures to future-proof the company, Hero is now on very solid foundations and well positioned for the future.' Schierbaum joined Lenzburg-headquartered Hero in 2019 as chief marketing officer and took on broader responsibilities as chief business officer three years later. He has over 20 years of experience in the FMCG sector, having held senior positions at Wella, Reckitt Benckiser and Mondelēz International across Europe. Schierbaum, who will become Hero CEO on 1 June, said: 'We can now take the next step in the future of Hero, which will have a more-focused approach to snacking while continuing to grow the entire portfolio.' In 2024, Hero consolidated its jam production in Spain, sold production sites in Switzerland and Sweden, and divested its Nordic gluten-free business to Dr. Schär. It also acquired UK-based healthy food brand Deliciously Ella to 'help supercharge sales' in the UK and other markets. In 2024, Hero's net sales rose 2.6% to SFr1.25bn ($1.51bn), while its gross margin improved to 32.1% from 31% in 2023. Hero's operating profit grew by approximately 134.7% in 2024 to SFr54.7m. Net income for the year increased by approximately 231.3% to SFr36.5m. Announcing the results in March, Versloot said: 'We believe the company is now on a stronger footing thanks to difficult decisions we took at the right time on our transformation and strategy moving forward.'
