From Vision to Victory: Modo Technologies at GITEX Global 2025
You know that feeling when you look back at where you started and recall the journey that brought you here? That's exactly what our CEOs and co-founders, Hasaan Kadli and Ayub Kazia, experienced as they stood at Modo’s booth during GITEX Global 2025 this past week.
Let me take you back for a moment. Picture this: GITEX 2021. A 9-square-meter booth. Just the co-founders, standing there for five days straight, barely getting a chance to talk to each other because visitors kept coming in. They were overwhelmed, yet filled with possibility, eager to transform every idea and connection from GITEX into meaningful impact for Modo Technologies. And this was only the beginning.
Fast forward to October 2025. Same event. Completely different story.
When visitors walked into our GITEX 2025 booth, they saw cutting-edge technology from Lockin, SwitchBot, Govee, Meross, MotionBlinds, and Modo’s own line of products. But what they didn’t see was the story behind it.
Weeks of planning, long nights assembling, testing lights, laying cables, and fine-tuning every demo brought it to life. At the centre of it all were Hassaan Shabandri, our General Manager of Distribution, and Abdulmajeed Mohammed, our Project Manager. They didn’t just set up a booth — they built an experience. Every product had its moment, every demo worked seamlessly, and every detail reflected their dedication. When the lights came on and the booth was complete, it wasn’t just a display — it was a testament to teamwork, vision, and relentless effort. And when visitors stepped inside, they weren’t just seeing technology. They were witnessing passion made visible.
And when our co-founders walked through that booth, seeing their team in action, seeing the crowds, seeing representatives from global brands who chose to partner with us – you could see it in their eyes. This wasn't just pride. This was validation of every late night, every challenge, every moment of doubt they had ever faced.
"We’ve grown beyond just the two of us, we are a team committed to one mission—transforming the way people live through technology."
The crown jewel of our booth? Our Experiential Demo Room. Visitors stepped in and were immediately drawn in by Loxone’s capabilities. lights shifting perfectly, blinds adjusting naturally, and the space itself feeling alive. You could see their amazement, the smiles, the pause as they realized what a home that truly responds to you could feel like.
The moment the Dolby Atmos–enabled 5.1.4 home cinema system by Quadral came to life, Modo’s booth turned into an experience. Sound wasn’t just heard, it was felt. Every note filled the space, surrounding visitors with rich immersive sound. It was more than just tech. It was Modo’s vision in action.
Visitors didn't just see products – they experienced the future. The room demonstrated climate control that saves energy while keeping you comfortable, security systems that give you peace of mind, and lighting that adapts to your mood and the time of day. This is what we think home automation should feel like.
Our booth showcased partnerships with some of the most innovative brands in smart home technology.
SwitchBot impressed visitors with their S20 Vacuum, demonstrating smart cleaning in action. Govee lit up the space with their Uplighter Floor Lamp, creating immersive lighting experiences that drew everyone’s attention. Meross showcased seamless Matter integration across all platforms, while Lockin amazed visitors with its cutting-edge palm recognition smart door lock technology, offering a glimpse into the future. MotionBlinds demonstrated how smart shading transforms comfort and energy efficiency. And yes, we showcased Modo’s own products. Visitors could see how they fit into a smart home, envisioning the possibilities of effortless lighting control and seamless automation. It was exciting to watch people pause, and imagine their own homes transformed with these innovations.
But here's what made it truly special: the representatives who flew in to be with us. Mr. George Guo from Govee, Ms. Charlene and Mr. Rick from Lockin, and Muhammad Saad from Motionblinds – they weren't just there to show products. They were there because they believe in what we're building together.
"Modo doesn't just distribute our products," Mr. George Guo told us. "They're true partners who understand the vision and execute with excellence."
"Being here and seeing the energy in their team is inspiring," said Ms. Charlene. "It’s rare to find partners who care so deeply about making technology meaningful for people."
"What Modo is building goes beyond business," said Mr. Muhammad Saad. "It’s about creating experiences that touch people’s lives — and that’s truly special to be part of."
Over five incredible days, we welcomed more than 1,500 visitors at our booth from over 50 countries. Our Spin to Win wheel kept the energy high. We handed out gifts and souvenirs. We created moments of joy and discovery.
But the real win? The conversations. The connections. The homeowners who finally understood how automation could change their lives. The developers who saw possibilities for their projects. The industry professionals who recognized that something special is happening at Modo Technologies.
From assembling the booth to engaging with visitors, our employees played a crucial role in making GITEX 2025 a success. Here’s what they had to share about their experiences:
”Representing Modo at GITEX 2025 was an exciting opportunity to showcase who we are and what we can achieve. It was a truly rewarding experience to interact with people from around the world and share our vision. Seeing our team come together and represent Modo on such a global stage was a very proud moment for all of us.”Hassaan Shabandri, General Manager
”Assembling the booth and interacting with visitors throughout GITEX 2025 was both fulfilling and rewarding. It reminded me why I love what I do — bringing technology to life and helping people experience the future of smart living.”Abdulmajeed, Project Manager
”Absolutely electric, refreshing and much more fun. It was less about just explaining our vision and more about proving we had the exact solution customers were searching for. An upgrade from a traditional house to a Modern solution is what they were looking for.”Pranesh Ravikumar, Accountant
“Representing Modo Technologies at GITEX 2025 was an inspiring experience. Engaging with people genuinely curious about our smart space’s automation solutions reminded me how impactful technology can be when built around real human needs. The event highlighted our growth as a team and reinforced our shared vision for creating smarter, more connected spaces.”
Gershon Dmello, Admin and Social Media Executive
From two founders in a booth to a dynamic team with offices in Dubai and Bangalore, representing world-class brands and creating our own innovations – this is more than business growth. This is about a vision becoming reality.
As we packed up after the final day, there was exhaustion, yes. But more than that, there was gratitude. For every person who visited. For our incredible team. For partners who believe in us. And for the journey we're all on together.
GITEX Global 2025 wasn't just an event. It was a milestone. A reminder of how far we've come and how much further we're going to go. This is just the beginning.
