At an event in Mumbai, 85-year-old Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals announced Crompton 2.0, a transition from a traditional hardware and appliance seller into an integrated, tech-first home solutions platform.
Core Pillars of Crompton 2.0
-
Refreshed Master Brand Identity: Introduces a new primary emblem called Cephyr (pronounced SAF-FYR), designed with 12 geometric circles symbolizing year-round adaptiveness. The updated tagline “Amazing, Every Day” features subtle iconography—such as a Wi-Fi symbol over the “i” and power-button details on the “E”—alongside a new sonic audio identity across consumer touchpoints.
-
Crompton Rhion (Super-Premium Platform): A new high-end sub-brand focused on premium design and patented tech. Its flagship product, the Rhion Water Biofier, enters India’s ₹5,565 crore water purification market as a high-end alternative to standard RO units, retaining essential minerals while generating 50% less wastewater.
-
Expanded Energion Ecosystem: Building beyond BLDC motor efficiency, the Energion umbrella now extends into clean energy conversion, battery storage, residential solar applications, and EV charging solutions.
-
Connected Home Ecosystem: Moves away from standalone product sales toward interconnected smart home appliances managed through unified mobile app control.
