In a statement, Stanza Living said the acquisition is expected to strengthen its in-house technology ecosystem that serves as a backbone of the business.

It will also fast-track the company's focus on developing highly-customised IoT-based solutions for the managed accommodation sector.

Backed by IvyCap Ventures and Times Internet, Singularity Automation was launched in 2017 to develop and implement ingenious IoT-enabled solutions and products for the managed living space.

The Bangalore-based startup's existing product portfolio includes smart door locks, secure access controllers and smart energy meters, among others.

We look forward to customising their existing solutions and creating fresh, IoT-based platforms together, as we build a first-of-its-kind managed living ecosystem".

Stanza Living recently raised USD 57 million (Rs 425 crore) in debt financing from Kotak Mahindra Bank, RBL Bank and Alteria Capital.

To date, Stanza Living has raised close to USD 220 million in debt and equity combined.

Post the acquisition, Stanza Living will have a 100-plus member strong technology team.
