	Motivated by recurring power shortages in his hometown and the large share of electricity consumed by ceiling fans in Indian households<ref>https://bullseye.ac/blog/entrepreneurs/manoj-meena-fan-man/</ref>, Manoj Meena pivoted the company towards energy-efficient appliances<ref>https://circuitdigest.com/interview/atomberg-founder-manoj-meena-tells-about-their-energy-efficient-fans</ref>.		== References ==

	In 2015, Atomberg developed a prototype of a brushless DC (BLDC) motor-based ceiling fan that significantly reduced power consumption compared with conventional induction motor fans<ref>https://acr.iitbombay.org/awards/manoj-meena/</ref><ref>https://yourstory.com/2015/11/atomberg-technology</ref>.

	~~'''Atomberg’s Flagship Fan and Growth'''~~
	Atomberg launched its first ceiling fan product line, marketed under the brand name “Gorilla”, in 2015 <ref>https://www.scribd.com/document/463061217/atomberg-gorilla-fan</ref>, positioning it as one of India’s most energy-efficient fans <ref>https://circuitdigest.com/interview/atomberg-founder-manoj-meena-tells-about-their-energy-efficient-fans</ref>.
	The fan uses around 35 watts of power, about 60 to 65 percent less than a typical 75 to 80 watt induction motor fan, while maintaining airflow and comfort <ref>https://yourstory.com/2015/11/atomberg-technology</ref><ref>https://circuitdigest.com/interview/atomberg-founder-manoj-meena-tells-about-their-energy-efficient-fans</ref>.
	The company claims that each Atomberg fan can save consumers roughly ₹1,500<ref>https://circuitdigest.com/interview/atomberg-founder-manoj-meena-tells-about-their-energy-efficient-fans</ref> to on electricity bills, depending on usage, and has sold millions of units across India.

	Over time, Atomberg diversified its portfolio to include other smart and energy-efficient home appliances<ref>https://atomberg.com/about</ref> including mixer grinders, water purifiers, juicers, and smart locks, reinforcing its positioning in the smart home and energy conservation space.

	In addition to its consumer appliance business, the company also operates through Atomberg Innovation, its deep-tech and engineering-focused innovation arm. AIPL<ref>https://in.linkedin.com/showcase/atomberg-innovation-pvt-ltd/</ref> works on advanced motor technologies, embedded systems, electronics, firmware, IoT systems, and high-efficiency propulsion and control platforms across emerging technology applications<ref>https://atomberg.com/about</ref>.

	Built on strong in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities, AIPL<ref>https://in.linkedin.com/showcase/atomberg-innovation-pvt-ltd/</ref> operates across the entire engineering value chain, from design and prototyping to testing and automated manufacturing. Positioned as a “Made in India”<ref>https://atomberg.com/about</ref> deep-tech platform<ref>https://atomberg.com/about</ref>, the company focuses on building indigenous technology solutions with end-to-end engineering and manufacturing integration.
