We envision growth opportunities for Signify from the perspective of driving the adoption of innovation and technology, not by audience segment. We are driven to meet customer needs in a way that provides best value over the years, not just today. That’s why globally we invest 4.5 per cent of our sales into product R&D,” shares Sumit Joshi, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Signify Innovations India.
