Offering surveillance and security, Aditya Infotech sees the big picture
This is the saga of a ‘Make in India’ entrepreneur, who took the sales of his products from merely a thousand to millions and is still counting. Aditya Khemka, the Noida-based businessman, had begun his entrepreneurial journey in 1995, as a distributor for major electronic brands. And, in 2010, he ventured into the niche business of surveillance cameras. With his 30+ years of experience in the information technology & electronic video surveillance sector, Khemka launched Aditya Infotech Ltd (AIL).
“Camera now is a part of everyday life, from car to office,” says Khemka, who has been awarded the ‘pioneer in surveillance industry award 2025’ by Viksit Delhi, ‘CX leader of the year’ award at the e4m CX India awards 2024, ‘Kautilya award, 2023’ by Summit India and ‘Asia’s greatest leaders 2017’ by Asia One. Today, AIL is the largest provider of video security and surveillance products, solutions and services in India in terms of revenues, with a market share of 20.8 per cent in 2024-25 (Source: F&S Report).
“We offer a comprehensive range of advanced video security and surveillance products, technologies and solutions for enterprise and consumer segments under our ‘CP PLUS’ brand, which has a strong recall value,” says Khemka. “In addition, we offer solutions and services, such as fully integrated security systems and Security-as-a-Service directly and through our distribution network, which addresses the requirements of end-customers engaged in a broad range of sectors.”
These sectors include banking, insurance, real estate, healthcare, industrial, defence, education, hospitality, manufacturing, retail and law enforcement. AIL has the widest pan-India reach within the video surveillance market ecosystem. Its products are sold in over 550 cities and towns and it operates through a network of 41 branch offices and 13 RMA centres across India – all as of 31 March 2025. It sold its surveillance products through our network of over 1,000 distributors in Tiers I, II and III cities and over 2,100 system integrators in 2024-25.
AIL’s manufacturing and trading activities include making and selling of its CP PLUS products and the provision of after-sales services in relation to the CP PLUS products sold by it. The ‘CP PLUS’ brand came into being in 2014 with the aim of providing wider access to cost-effective security and surveillance products, solutions and services. Through its uparwala sab dekh raha hai tag line, CP Plus has become synonymous with the category.
A wide range of products
The company’s product portfolio, including products it sources from third parties, deploy a wide variety of security technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), to deliver edge-based AI analytics – all developed in-house by a dedicated research and development (R&D) team, integrated Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem for connected and smart homes as well as a number of cloud services, including health monitoring systems (HMS) and attendance management systems (AMS). The product line comprises high definition (HD)-analog cameras, digital video recorders (DVRs), internet protocol (IP) network cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), biometric products, access control products, mobile surveillance solutions, body-worn cameras, thermal cameras, temperature screening solutions, interactive displays, routers, cables, power supplies (SMPS), racks and other accessories and products.
AIL is the biggest beneficiary of The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) implementing a mandatory Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) for all CCTV products, with a deadline of 9 April 2025, for compliance with Essential Requirements Act. The government of India has established a comprehensive regulatory framework that requires all internet-connected CCTV devices sold in the country – regardless of their origin – to obtain cyber-security certification from government-approved laboratories. This initiative, spearheaded by MeitY and enforced by BIS, is designed to address the risks of foreign surveillance. Under these regulations, manufacturers must comply with stringent protocols, including hardware and firmware testing, source code audits, inspections of both domestic and overseas factories, as well as validation of tamper-proof enclosures and encryption. These steps are necessary to secure the mandatory STQC certification for their products.
In July, AIL will launch its IPO and aspires to be a billion-dollar market cap company after the listing. The purpose of the offer is to use the proceeds for the prepayment and repayment of all or a portion of certain outstanding borrowings availed by the company and for general corporate purposes.
“As our government says, this is the amrit kaal for entrepreneurship,” says Khemka, while offering advice for budding entrepreneurs. “Step out of your comfort zone. If you have courage, you can soar as high as you want.”
