Hauppauge (New York) [US], May 17: Vicon Industries, a subsidiary of Cemtrex Inc. (Nasdaq: CETX) and a leading provider of advanced security and surveillance solutions, today announced that it has officially received the STQC certification from India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), marking a major milestone in the company’s global expansion strategy.

With this certification, Vicon becomes one of the surveillance manufacturers to meet the stringent cybersecurity and quality standards under India’s IoT Security Compliance for Surveillance Cameras Scheme (IoTSCS-ER). The designation enables Vicon to market and sell its certified products into India’s regulated government, infrastructure, and smart city segments, sectors that are otherwise closed to non-certified providers.

“This certification gives us a powerful entry point into one of the fastest-growing surveillance markets in the world,” said Saagar Govil, Chairman and CEO of Cemtrex. “Most global manufacturers lack this certification and are therefore excluded from bidding on government or regulated projects in India. We now have a distinct first-mover advantage as the only premium brand certified for these opportunities.”

India’s video surveillance market is projected to exceed $3 billion by 2027, driven by nationwide security upgrades, urban development, and the expansion of smart cities. However, regulatory barriers have limited foreign participation, creating pent-up demand for high-quality, compliant solutions from trusted global brands. Vicon’s certification removes this barrier and positions the company to capitalize on untapped demand in both the public and private sectors.

As part of its STQC-certified offering, Vicon’s Valerus Video Management System (VMS) is fully compliant and built to support complex, large-scale deployments across critical infrastructure, education, transportation, and public sector environments. With its intuitive interface, centralized control, and advanced cybersecurity architecture, Valerus delivers a comprehensive, enterprise-grade solution that meets India’s strictest technical and regulatory requirements.

“India is modernizing rapidly, and safety, security, and quality are now top priorities,” said Gaurav Taywade, Managing Director of Vicon India. “Earning STQC certification is more than just a regulatory milestone, it’s a strategic gateway into one of the most dynamic infrastructure build-outs happening anywhere in the world. India is constructing vast amounts of critical infrastructure including new train stations, airports, seaports, power plants, university campuses, research centers, and highways, all requiring advanced, reliable security solutions.

As one of the certified premium global brand, Vicon is uniquely positioned to support this growth with secure, AI-powered surveillance systems that are easy to install, built to last, and designed to meet the evolving demands of modern infrastructure. We’re excited to partner with Indian organizations to help build a safer, smarter, and more connected future.”

In a country where women continue to face serious safety risks in public and private spaces, a new safety platform is making quiet yet powerful waves — not through promises, but through action. Safer, an advanced, technology-led app, is emerging as a real-time solution for women facing moments of vulnerability.

Designed with the realities of Indian cities in mind, Safer offers a fast, discreet, and multi-layered emergency response system. At its core, it’s more than just an SOS button. With a single tap, the app launches a full-scale response — beginning with live location sharing to a 24/7 support team.

What makes Safer stand out is its Secure Hub network — physical safety points across the city staffed with trained bouncers and ex-servicemen who serve as the first line of help in emergencies. These personnel are selected and prepared to handle real-world scenarios with discretion and urgency.

In cases where response time may be delayed, Safer activates a second line of help through a network of Aadhaar-verified volunteers, ensuring that users are never left without support.

One of the platform’s most advanced features is its emergency drone deployment system. In high-risk scenarios, Safer sends a surveillance drone to the user’s location. These drones offer real-time aerial visibility, act as a deterrent, and record footage to support legal action or post-incident review. They follow the user until help arrives — offering both coverage and comfort.

The interface is simple, fast, and reliable. Features like silent SOS activation, real-time tracking, background operation, and instant emergency contact alerts ensure that users can call for help even in high-pressure situations.

Whether commuting late at night, walking through isolated areas, or sensing danger, users can trust Safer to respond quickly, intelligently, and effectively.

Without seeking attention or headlines, this platform is beginning to reshape how safety is approached — combining technology, training, and community to give women something they’ve always deserved: a sense of real, dependable security.

Safer is currently being offered at a subscription price of ₹2400 per year, which breaks down to just ₹200 per month — making powerful, round-the-clock safety affordable and accessible for more women across India.
