About

Tharun Reddy Chinthala is the CEO and Co-Founder of Lockn Technologies Pvt Ltd, a company that aims to simplify and smarten access management. Their flagship product, SIMSIM, is a battery-powered smart lock that can be accessed from anywhere in the world through their app/APIs. SIMSIM removes the hassle of carrying a physical key and helps users create time-bound virtual keys that can be shared securely with trusted people. Tharun has a strong background in software engineering and mobile technology, with 8.62 years of relevant experience. He previously worked as a Teaching Assistant at IIIT Hyderabad and as a Software Development Engineer at Amazon. Tharun holds a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science from the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad. With SIMSIM, users can operate the lock through the phone app (Bluetooth and internet), key code, or physical key. The owner receives real-time notifications of who accesses the lock, and the door sense technology ensures that users know if their door is completely closed and locked. Time-bound access can be shared by creating a new key code or directly giving access to a guest's mobile. For co-living spaces and hotels, SIMSIM provides APIs that can be integrated into their existing portals to grant or revoke time-bound access to their guests, offering them a standardized and hassle-free stay experience. The hassle of checking-in is also removed. Tharun's vision for Lockn Technologies is to make access management simple and smart, and SIMSIM is a step closer to that vision. As the CEO and Co-Founder of Lockn Technologies, Tharun is leading the charge in revolutionizing access management technology.
