Kean Chiow left his job in December 2019 to start VIO, Singapore’s first subscription-based smart light solution. While he hadn’t worked in the lighting industry, his work experience in a tech startup and his co-founder’s 10-year career in the lighting industry gives them an edge in disrupting the space.
Kean’s vision for VIO is to provide Singapore consumers with a better smart home experience at affordable prices. He explains that “smart lighting and smart homes have been growing consistently over the years, globally, especially in the US, UK, and China”. However, Singapore’s smart home and smart light adoption is “not growing proportionally to the bigger markets”.
