Crestron Redefines Hybrid Collaboration at InfoComm India 2025: CX-Driven Insights
Crestron’s recent showcase at InfoComm India 2025 marked a pivotal moment in workplace technology innovation. Over three immersive days in Mumbai, Indian industry leaders, AV integrators, and technology partners converged to witness groundbreaking advancements that promise to change the Crestron hybrid collaboration experience. At the center of this transformation were Crestron’s flagship innovations: the Sightline Experience with Visual AI and One-Touch Meeting capability, both designed to set new standards for meeting equity, simplicity, and seamless user experience.
The Evolving Landscape of Hybrid Work in India
As hybrid work cements its status as the default mode for Indian enterprises, challenges abound—complex meeting setups, engagement gaps, and unequal participation persist. Forward-thinking organizations realize the need to remove barriers to collaboration, streamline technology, and foster environments where every participant feels empowered, whether remote or in the room. In 2025, industry research found that 97% of Indian employees and 98% of employers are satisfied with hybrid work arrangements, attributing gains in productivity, cost savings, and talent retention to flexible models.
However, technology adoption had lagged behind employee expectations. Until recently, only a third of Indian firms had invested in advanced collaboration tools, leaving many teams with challenges around reliability and inclusivity. Crestron seized this opportunity, introducing solutions tailored not just for hybrid work, but hybrid work at scale in India’s demanding and diverse professional landscape.
The Sightline Experience: Driving Meeting Equity with Visual AI
Crestron’s Sightline Experience was the star attraction. At its core, Sightline leverages Visual AI, multi-camera intelligence, and advanced automation to solve one of hybrid work’s toughest problems: making remote and in-person participants feel equally seen and heard. Traditional video conferencing often leaves virtual attendees feeling peripheral. The Sightline Experience upends this dynamic by employing:
- Multi-camera speaker tracking: Cameras powered by Visual AI automatically detect and frame active speakers, following natural head turns or shifts in engagement. This ensures the best camera angle for every moment, eliminating awkward wide shots or neglected faces.
- Room-aware automation: The use of Crestron’s Automate VX platform brings together audio, video, and environmental controls. The system dynamically adjusts not just cameras, but also lighting, blinds, and audio profiles, making every space hybrid-ready on demand.
- Platform integration: Seamlessly working with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and other major platforms, the Sightline Experience features smooth connection across devices and locations, without manual configuration or technical roadblocks.
Attendees at InfoComm India experienced firsthand how the Sightline Experience enables everyone—from the boardroom to remote offices—to participate fully in discussions, brainstorming, and decision-making. Every voice is captured with precision, and every gesture carries equal weight, bringing true “meeting equity” into daily practice.
One-Touch Meeting: Simplicity Meets Speed
While innovation often means more complexity, Crestron’s One-Touch Meeting capability is a direct rebuke to that trend. Visitors lauded its promise: start or join a fully functional hybrid meeting—across displays, microphones, cameras, and platforms—with just one touch. No more fumbling with cables, configuring apps, or waiting for technical support. The experience is immediate, reliable, and accessible, reducing the technical friction that often causes delays and disengagement.
This simplicity doesn’t come at the cost of flexibility. Whether in a small huddle space, executive boardroom, or classroom, One-Touch Meeting adapts seamlessly, integrating with existing hardware and software to minimize learning curves and maximize productivity.
Industry Impact and Crestron’s Customer Experience Philosophy
The overwhelming response at InfoComm India validated Crestron’s customer-centric approach. Senior leaders like Jacques Bertrand, EVP Asia, and Gagan Verma, Vice President – India & SAARC, spent significant time. Especially in engaging with visitors, answering questions, and collecting feedback. Their active presence reinforced a core Crestron belief: technology should simplify life, not complicate it.
