Our team of Product Designers at LazyCo came up with a simple Handheld tool called Handkey to solve a major problem people started facing in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Handkey is an Award-Winning Handheld tool that lets you access commonly used Public surfaces like Elevator Buttons, ATM touchscreens, Public doors, etc. safely without the need to touch them directly with your hands and avoid contracting Covid-19.
Made with a sliding Antimicrobial Brass clamp, an ABS Plastic Cover and a Self-Closing Cap, Handkey is designed to be kept safely in your Pocket or Handbag after every use making it a daily essential to carry whenever we are going out of our homes.
Handkey won us the Adamstart Global Covid Challenge, was featured on BBC, HT Mind and was lauded for its simple yet easy to manufacture design.

We brought the Handkey from ideation-->investment-->DFM-->Production-->Launch on Amazon and Offline sales/Export within 4 months.

LazyCo is a UX focused Hardware Company re-imagining the way humans interact with day to day digital tasks and devices. 
Like any other creature on this planet, humans prefer an easier and faster way to complete a task, we call it the Lazier way. Instead of ruling out laziness as a natural human trait, we embrace it in our Human-Centered Design process equating the Human body's efficiency with Laziness enabling us in finding the easiest and the most efficient ways to get a task done.

Our first product re-imagined Human-Computer Interaction beyond Phone touchscreens.
We were building an AI powered smart ring designed as a Universal Remote control that helps controlling everything from booking cabs, switching lights, taking calls, controlling meetings and presentation instantly. The ring made handling day to day tasks up to 700% faster than Smartphone touchscreens.

The world is entering a new era - one where humans, AI, and machines will coexist in ways we have only imagined.
We’re building something in stealth in the AI + Hardware space, reimagining what it means to live and interact in an increasingly intelligent world. 

We call it "Project Mirage".

We are hiring across multiple roles. If this space piques your interest and you have built something amazing in the past, let's talk.
