Today we’d like to introduce you to Avi Sengupta.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Avi. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I love music…but am completely tone deaf and have no musical ability – this is my outlet. With a computer science and electrical engineering background, I came across a position several years ago for a company in this industry as a programmer and quickly fell in love with the industry. Spent the next few years taking different positions at various companies to learn the industry and ultimately started County Line Audio Video. I wanted to create a new approach to home technology. Technology shouldn’t be complicated. We want to create solutions that are customized to the way our clients use their homes and how they’d like technology to fit into their lifestyles. Not everyone is a music lover and not everyone needs their lighting controlled from their phone.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I’ve worked for several companies around Chicagoland and had various positions at each one with the goal of learning the industry and what other companies did right and wrong. I have – along the way – learned what I do really well, but I’ve also learned what things I’m not great at. Luckily, we are an amazing team and it’s not just me.
We’ve got a great system of checks and balances, and we are a team that are passionate about our clients and the work that we do.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with County Line Audio Video – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
We are a technology integration company. We are in the business of making technology easy. We specialize in creating simple ways to control your home or business’s audio, video, lighting, heating/cooling, security cameras, and much more all from one place. Imagine being able to turn on your home’s air conditioner, view the cameras, and turn on some of the home’s lights right from your smartphone before you board a plane on your way home from vacation. We can create customized solutions for homes, offices, retail spaces, bars, and restaurants.
We are constantly educating ourselves by staying current with organizations and trade shows like CES, CEDIA, and InfoCOMM. We always ask for feedback from our clients and always try to create unique and economic solutions for each project.
I genuinely believe that people are simply happier when there is music playing. And if we create really easy ways to play music, people will.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
We are currently opening a showroom/retail space in downtown Hinsdale. It’s a first for us and something we are very excited about it. It will bring something unique to downtown Hinsdale and give all the local business and residence a local company to rely on.
