Sunil N. Sharma : Transforming The Interiors & Design Industry Through Intelligent Automation

Every industry reaches a point where experience alone is no longer enough to drive progress. Sustainable growth begins when experience is combined with innovation, discipline and the willingness to challenge long-standing ways of working. For Sunil N. Sharma, that realization came not through a single breakthrough moment, but through years of building businesses, leading teams and working closely with customers across the Interiors & Design ecosystem.

After completing his MBA in Sales & Marketing from the International Management Institute (IMI), New Delhi, Sunil began his career with ICICI Bank. The corporate environment exposed him to structured business practices, customer relationship management and performance driven operations. While those experiences shaped his professional outlook, entrepreneurship remained his long-term aspiration.

That aspiration brought him back to Vibgyor Group, the family business established by his father in 1975.

By then, Vibgyor had earned a strong reputation as a trusted painting company, delivering projects for homeowners, businesses and some of South India's leading developers. Rather than simply continuing the company's legacy, Sunil saw an opportunity to expand its vision. Over the last two decades, he diversified into premium home interiors, modular manufacturing, smart home automation and enterprise software, gradually evolving into an integrated solutions company serving multiple segments of the construction and interiors industry.

Leading this transformation gave Sunil something far more valuable than business growth—it gave him a close understanding of how the industry actually operates.

Every completed project highlighted the same reality. While design capabilities, materials and customer expectations had advanced significantly, the operational systems supporting the Interiors Industry had not evolved at the same pace. Sales teams managed enquiries through spreadsheets, project updates moved across emails and messaging applications, procurement relied on disconnected processes and critical decisions often depended on manual coordination between departments.

The challenge was never the capability of the people.

It was the inability of information to move as efficiently as the teams themselves.

Sunil realised that many operational challenges in the Interiors Industry were not caused by a lack of talent or commitment, but by fragmented systems that prevented businesses from working as one connected organisation and scale without chaos.

This insight became the foundation of Infinitree Solutions.

Unlike traditional software companies that develop generic enterprise platforms for multiple industries, Infinitree was established with a clear objective—to build technology based on practical business experience. Every workflow, approval process and operational framework was designed around the realities of managing interiors projects, manufacturing operations, procurement cycles and customer engagements.

That philosophy eventually led to the development of BOLT ERP, a platform created specifically for the Interiors Industry. Rather than asking businesses to adapt to software, BOLT ERP adapts to the way interiors businesses naturally function, connecting customer enquiries, quotations, design approvals, procurement, manufacturing, project execution, finance, HR and customer communication within a unified ecosystem.

For Sunil, however, technology has never been the destination.

He believes that software should quietly simplify complexity, empower teams to collaborate more effectively and provide business leaders with the clarity needed to make better decisions. The objective is not merely to digitise existing processes, but to help organisations become more transparent, predictable and customer-focused.

As India's Interiors Industry continues to grow, customer expectations are evolving just as rapidly. Today's clients expect visibility, timely communication, predictable delivery and consistent execution alongside exceptional design. Meeting these expectations requires businesses to rethink not only how projects are delivered, but also how they are managed behind the scenes.

Looking ahead, Sunil believes the next phase of industry growth will be defined by organisations that successfully combine creativity with operational excellence and intelligent technology. Businesses that embrace connected systems and data-driven decision-making will be better equipped to scale, improve customer experiences and build lasting competitive advantage.

From carrying forward a family enterprise established nearly five decades ago to building technology for an entire industry, Sunil's journey reflects a consistent philosophy: meaningful innovation begins with understanding real business problems.

That belief continues to guide Vibgyor Group and Infinitree Solutions as they work towards enabling Interiors businesses to become more efficient, more connected, and better prepared for the future.

While great design transforms spaces, great leadership transforms industries.
