Jaipur| July 5, 2025: In the layered world of architecture and interior design, lighting does more than simply illuminate—it sets the mood, shapes the space, and often becomes the emotional centerpiece of a room. Yet despite its importance, the process of sourcing lighting remains painfully inefficient. Designers still juggle multiple vendors, unclear pricing, and mismatched timelines—all while racing against project deadlines and client expectations.

Lumeil, a rising design-tech platform, is changing that. Built specifically for architects and interior designers, Lumeil offers a single destination for high-quality, design-aligned, and reliably delivered decorative lighting. Its promise: curated with intent, delivered with precision.

Why Lighting Procurement Feels Broken

Designers regularly lose hours—sometimes days—visiting showrooms, comparing finishes through PDFs or photos, and managing orders across five or more vendors. Each supplier comes with its own definitions of timelines, aesthetics, and service standards. This fragmentation affects not just logistics—it stifles creativity.

“When you spend half your timeline coordinating finishes and fixture availability, something is broken,” says Naman Jain, Founding Member of Lumeil. “Lighting should support design—not slow it down.”

The challenge is even more complex for premium residential and hospitality projects, which often involve dozens of lights—chandeliers, sconces, pendant clusters, and specialty task lighting. Each has different lead times, installation needs, and support requirements, making smooth execution impossible.

A Platform That Works Like a Partner

Lumeil solves this by offering a curated catalog of decorative lighting from trusted Indian artisans and select global brands. But this is not just another online marketplace—it is a platform designed for design professionals.

Users can search by finish, material, light output, style, or even upload a reference image to find related products. Each fixture comes with CAD files, photometric data, sustainability info, and live inventory status—everything a designer needs to make fast, confident decisions.

But the real magic is in the coordination layer. Lumeil consolidates delivery timelines, centralizes payments and invoicing, and tracks every SKU across a single dashboard. Ideal for design firms handling multiple project sites, this system brings structure to what is typically a chaotic process.

“We operate like a lighting project partner,” explains Jain. “Whether it’s a hand-blown pendant or a modular wall light, designers can trust that every piece will arrive on time, in spec, and with service support.”

This one-window model also enables what Jain calls “design alignment at scale”—ensuring consistency in aesthetic and quality, even across multi-phase or multi-city projects.

Helping Designers Focus on Design

By eliminating the back-and-forth and follow-ups, Lumeil gives designers something priceless: time. Instead of chasing vendors or fixing last-minute issues, studios can focus on design development, client presentations, and creative storytelling.

Design teams across India have already experienced the difference. Projects using Lumeil report faster execution, fewer installation errors, and higher client satisfaction at handover. In deadline-driven environments, that reliability can make all the difference between fulfilling a vision—or falling short.

The Future of Lighting Procurement

As India’s design community moves toward smarter, more sustainable practices, Lumeil is evolving too. The platform now tags products with lifecycle and emissions data and is testing logistics automation in metro cities—laying the foundation for a smarter, more transparent procurement ecosystem.

“Good lighting should be easy to find, specify, and deliver—without the chaos,” Jain says. “When you respect a designer’s time, you elevate their entire practice. That is the future we are building.”

Now active in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad, Lumeil is fast becoming the go-to lighting partner for design firms that want to deliver on vision—without compromise.
