Research, Development and Innovation
The artistry of simplicity is such that while it is timeless yet it is always new. Achieving this level of maturity requires years of questioning the purpose of our existence and truly understanding who we are creating for.
Simpolo’s research and development laboratory is the biggest in India in terms of the sheer complexity and size.
Simpolo’s research and development laboratory is the biggest in India in terms of sheer complexity and size The R&D facility has the best setup for conducting rigorous testing on its products to meet international standards and certification requirements. The R&D facility provides immense benefits in terms of improved economies of scale, quick identification of product flaws, and quicker lead time to market with modified or new products. The lab is well equipped with several testing instruments and apparatus managed with assured and comprehensive quality control.
