Arpit Bhatnagar

Arpit Bhatnagar’s route through AV has given him an unusually broad view of the industry. He began as a design engineer trainee with Bose, learning psychoacoustics, sound propagation and the fundamentals behind how people experience audio, before moving through integration, distribution and eventually independent consultancy.

At Infosight Consultants, Bhatnagar has been expanding the company’s AV offering beyond traditional systems into experiential technology and hospitality automation. He has also introduced design verification and conformance reviews aligned with AVIXA standards, aimed at improving consistency and giving clients greater confidence in the technical integrity of proposed solutions.

Earlier in his career, he helped build the AV practice at Visiontech Systems International from the ground up, developing the technical offering, design and QA processes, supporting business development and training the team. He describes this as the experience that most shaped him as a consultant and technical leader.

Bhatnagar’s view of AV is similarly broad. He believes the industry should focus less on equipment and more on creating intelligent, intuitive and increasingly personalised experiences, drawing more closely on software, IT, networking and automation.

Outside work, he has also pushed himself physically, cycling to one of the world’s highest motorable roads at around 5,300 metres above sea level when he was 23.
