What many might call a biography or success story, for Mr. Dhrumil Shah, it’s a cherished memory—a journey defined by relentless learning and the pursuit of innovation.

As the founder of Dsquare Electronics, Mr. Shah takes immense pride in sharing the story of his entrepreneurial journey, one that is deeply rooted in determination, creativity, and a passion for technology.

The Early Spark

Mr. Dhrumil Shah embarked on his journey while pursuing engineering at the Babaria Institute of Technology (BIT), Vadodara (2008-2012). For his final-year project, he opted for an industry-defined project (IDP), which required finding a suitable internship. Despite mailing resumes to numerous companies, opportunities remained elusive. Determined, he took the initiative to visit companies in person.

Facing repeated rejections, he finally secured an interview with G-TEK Corporation Pvt. Ltd., Vadodara, where he was assessed by notable mentors, including Mr. Ashutosh Shah (Director of G-TEK) and Mr. Madhukant Patel (Ex-ISRO). During the interview, Mr. Shah pitched a unique idea: replacing traditional rickshaw banners with LED displays for advertisements controlled via GSM. Although the concept was innovative, a significant flaw was pointed out—government regulations prohibited such displays to prevent accidents. Impressed by his creative thinking, G-TEK offered him an internship.

This opportunity marked the beginning of Mr. Shah’s professional growth. After completing his training, he was presented with two career paths: a marketing position  or a role as an Embedded Design Engineer at G-TEK. Choosing the latter, he immersed himself in electronics and programming, which became his lifelong passion.

The Entrepreneurial Leap

Armed with nearly three years of professional experience, Mr. Shah left G-TEK in August 2014 to pursue his dream of entrepreneurship. He quickly realized that starting a business required deep market knowledge, strategic planning, and persistence.

During this transitional phase, a conversation with a friend, Dr. Mosam, became the catalyst for his breakthrough idea. Dr. Mosam’s casual remark about controlling household appliances via mobile phone sparked Mr. Shah’s vision for a home automation system. By January 2015, the foundation of Dsquare Electronics was laid.

Building the Vision

By March 2015, Mr. Shah had developed the concept for his flagship product, the D2Brain Home Automation System®. Officially launched in August 2015, the system allowed users to control appliances like lights, fans, air conditioners, and curtains through a mobile app, offering convenience, safety, and energy efficiency.

Initially, gaining client trust was a daunting challenge. Without a demo or portfolio, Mr. Shah offered to work without upfront payments, convincing clients to give him a chance. His breakthrough came with two successful projects: automating a jewelry store and a residential property. Positive word-of-mouth and the support of influential architects gradually helped him build his reputation.

Expanding Horizons

As project demand grew, Mr. Shah assembled a team, starting with two technicians, to handle the increasing workload. From 2015 to 2017, the D2Brain system underwent continuous upgrades to align with market needs, incorporating audio-visual and security automation features.

In 2016, Mr. Shah began setting up a live tech experience center, a project delayed due to demonetization and GST reforms. Overcoming these challenges, the center was inaugurated in March 2017, marking a significant milestone for Dsquare Electronics.

Reflecting on the journey, Mr. Shah recalls his father’s wise words during tough times:
“God has perfect timing; never early, never late. It takes a little patience and faith, but it’s worth the wait.”
