At Menlo Homes it has always been an endeavour to offer innovative products to its customers. So when they wanted to launch their new project, the emphasis was on how could they offer something that would make a real difference to people's lives. What could they do in the capacity of home makers to address the pain points of people who bought their homes and make the world a better place? An introspection that made them realize that in today's fast paced world, most people were leading a highly stressful life. This stress was even more acutely felt by working couples who not only had to cope with stress at the work place but also with house hold chores and responsibilities. Was then there some way that Maple could lessen this stress at least when they were at home? Most homes available in the market stopped at the initial token offerings of luxury. Few put themselves in the customer's shoes to find out what were the real problems and if there was some way of addressing them? Maple set out to find these answers.It reached out to consumers talking to them, listening to them, taking suggestions, sharing views, setting in action the process of co-creation with consumers. The feedback was invaluable and the insightful data helped to give direction to the next product. It helped Maple in making a critical decision - To build technology enabled homes that would make life easy for its occupants. So that at least when they came back from a tiring, stressful day at the workplace, they would have fewer things to worry about at home and more time to relax. Thus was born the concept of Menlo Homes. Homes that would take a number of nagging chores off the home owners' shoulders leaving them free to enjoy maximum comfort, convenience and a stress free life.
