GPIO Technology India Pvt Ltd is a verifiable entity (est. 2017) based in Pune, primarily known for 'Ekam' home automation products. While the company exists, the specific 'StarHeart' street light project appears to be a B2G pilot (800 lights) with no verifiable external coverage. The submission suffers significantly from exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product'), vague financial data ('marketcap: 500000'), and a mismatch between the 'everyone' audience claim and the niche B2G/B2C reality. The project shows legitimate local utility but lacks the reach, scale, or verifiable traction to score higher.
