The celebration, attended by distinguished guests, industry leaders, and prominent personalities, was an evening of glamour, inspiration, and reflection on Eleganz Interiors’ remarkable journey.

Esteemed guests, including former HDFC Chairman Mr. Deepak Parekh and renowned architect Mr. Hafeez Contractor, graced the occasion, sharing valuable insights into the interior design and build fit-out industry while expressing their enduring relationship with Eleganz. Motivational speaker Mr. Gaur Gopal Das added his unique touch to the occasion with his inspiring words on sustainability and leadership.

The event commenced with a heartfelt welcome, setting the stage for an unforgettable night. Guests were treated to an opening video that encapsulated the inspiring 35-year journey of Eleganz Interiors, highlighting its transformation into a formidable presence in the interior fit-out industry. Mr. Sammeer Pakvasa, the Managing Director and CEO of Eleganz Interiors, took the stage and delivered a speech, sharing insights into the company’s strategic vision and achievements over the last 23 years. The mic was then passed to the visionary founder, Mr. Akshay Pakvasa, who shared profound insights into laying the foundation for Eleganz in 1988.

The celebration continued with a heartwarming tribute video showcasing the impact of Eleganz Interiors on its dedicated workforce. A CSR presentation highlighted the company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility. The highlight of the evening was a mesmerising sand art performance by Rahul Arya, a celebrated artist known for transforming simple grains of sand into compelling stories. The live painting art performance left the audience in awe.

Speaking on the joyous occasion, Mr. Akshay Pakvasa, Founder of Eleganz Interiors, said, “I am deeply honoured and humbled by the presence of our esteemed guests and my dear friends, Mr. Deepak Parekh, Mr. Hafeez Contractor, and Mr. Gaur Gopal Das. Their presence tonight adds immense value to our celebration, and I am truly grateful for their support and encouragement throughout our journey.

As the founder of Eleganz Interiors, it fills my heart with immense joy to see how far we’ve come over the past 35 years. What started as a humble endeavour has blossomed into a legacy of excellence in the design and build industry. I am incredibly proud of the dedication and hard work that have brought us to this moment. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my son, Sammeer, for his unwavering commitment to excellence. His vision and passion have propelled Eleganz to new heights. Under his leadership, I am confident that Eleganz will continue to thrive and redefine standards in the industry for many years to come.”

Mr. Sammeer Pakvasa, Managing Director and CEO of Eleganz Interiors, said, “As we bask in the celebration of our 35th anniversary, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all who graced the occasion, making it a night to remember. We were honoured by the presence of distinguished guests, especially Mr. Deepak Parekh, Mr. Hafeez Contractor, Mr. Gaur Gopal Das and our friends from the industry, making our celebration even more special.

My dad started Eleganz Interiors in 1988 and since then it has always been about redefining excellence. This event marked not just a milestone in our journey but a celebration of the dedication, creativity, and resilience that define our brand. As we look back on 35 years of crafting exquisite spaces, we also look forward to continuing our legacy of excellence. Here’s to the spirit of Eleganz, a legacy of excellence that continues to evolve and redefine standards in the industry.”

Mr. Deepak Parekh, Former Chairman, HDFC Bank, remarked, “My association with Eleganz and Akshay Pakvasa goes a long way. I have witnessed Akshay’s journey from an interior contractor to leading the design and build industry. It is his sheer resilience and determination that have propelled Eleganz to its current stature and built a legacy of their own. And now his son, Sammeer too is a visionary, pushing boundaries and redefining every rule in the book while building Eleganz. Under his stewardship, Eleganz has experienced remarkable growth, with the establishment of numerous offices and collaborations with marquee clients. I have no doubt that Eleganz will continue to thrive under his leadership for the next 35 years and beyond.”

Architect Hafeez Contractor reminisced, “I first met Akshay at a work event. Upon our first interaction, I found him to be a very strict and somewhat difficult individual, especially fresh from his return from Dubai. However, as I began collaborating with him, I was thoroughly impressed by his workmanship and his adept handling of projects. This led to an increasing amount of contracting being entrusted to him, a trend that continues to this day, with his son, Sammeer. So, today, standing here on their 35th anniversary, I feel an immense sense of pride witnessing how far they have progressed. I wish them continued growth and an even greater reputation in the years ahead.”

The festivities concluded with an invitation to guests to enjoy an exquisite selection of drinks and dinner, carefully curated to harmonise with the refined aesthetics of Eleganz Interiors’ designs.

With the successful culmination of the event, Eleganz Interiors promises to persist in leading design innovation, sustainability, global expansion, and excellence in interior design & build for many years to come.

In the dynamic realm of digital content creation, fostering meaningful and real-time engagements between creators and fans is the cornerstone of success. Fanory, a platform dedicated to connecting creators with their audience, faced significant challenges related to quality, reliability, and latency in live streaming and two-way audio/video calls. Prior to integrating Agora’s cutting-edge technology, Fanory grappled with user experience issues that impeded their mission. Seeking a reliable partner to address these concerns, Fanory discovered Agora’s video and audio Software Development Kits (SDKs) and embarked on a transformative journey. This partnership not only transformed the quality and latency issues but also took Fanory’s user engagement to new heights.

The Problem

User experience issues with quality, reliability, and latency

As a platform connecting creators with fans, Fanory’s mission revolves around fostering meaningful and real-time engagements. Before Agora, Fanory creators and fans encountered challenges with quality and latency in live streaming and two-way audio/video calls.

When looking for a new RTC provider, Fanory focused on finding a reliable partner that could help solve these quality issues. Finding Agora’s video and audio SDKs was a game-changer for the Fanory team.

The Solution

High-quality engagement between creators and fans

Agora’s Interactive Live Streaming, Video Calling, and Signaling services were the perfect choice based on Fanory’s needs, enabling reliable real-time interactions between creators and fans while supporting Fanory’s live commerce model. Agora’s Extensions Marketplace allowed Fanory to quickly and easily add high-quality Banuba face filters to the app. Fanory also relies on metrics from Agora to build its AI models for revenue predictions on live streams.

Comments and stream engagements can predict if users will stay with the creator livestream, ultimately leading to better conversion rates. This integration via Agora’s RESTful API allows Fanory’s AI model to provide creators with real-time recommendations on content and pricing to help them optimize revenue. This data has allowed Fanory to implement creator KPIs like engagements, availability, and stickiness. These metrics help them identify which creators are working well and what sort of content strategy works best for fans.

“Agora’s customizable APIs allowed us to optimize real-time connectivity and network traffic while reducing latency to milliseconds during live streaming and interactive sessions between creators and fans. Agora’s Banuba face filter extensions feature helps our creators immensely. Integrating the extension was easy and it performs perfectly, with no delay applying filters on live video.- Saurabh Singh Kushwah, Co-Founder, Fanory

Results and ROI

Boosting app downloads and usage with a better voice chat experience

Fanory’s user engagement improved drastically since implementing Agora. On average, users now spend 66% more time on the platform, indicating improved engagement and content consumption. Interaction with creator gifting has also increased by 24% since switching to Agora, showcasing a more dynamic and engaging user experience.

“Implementing Agora led to a huge boost in engagement, with users spending 66% more time on our platform. Users appreciate the enhanced communication quality, which has increased user retention and platform growth.“

– Saurabh Singh Kushwah, Co-Founder, Fanory

Fanory is now able to track all live engagement metrics in addition to details like device type and location, to help improve its AI model. Fanory also plans to build its own interactive live streaming solution shop where brands can engage with audiences and sell products.
