Buildings move differently when the right people are behind them.
Smartrise is a service of AI Innovations Limited, based in Dar es Salaam. We bring together manufacturers we trust — KOYO Elevator for commercial buildings, SwiftLifts for homes, and PIERRE for automation — and handle the sourcing, installation and after-sales support ourselves, as a CRB certified contractor.
Two founders, two different disciplines, one company.

15 years in network connectivity, business management and operations — the half of Smartrise focused on how the company runs, and how every project actually gets delivered on the ground.
Imran Hasnain Moledina

A Tanzania where every building moves as smart as the people inside it.
We want to be the reason "elevator company" stops meaning just a box that goes up and down, and starts meaning a building that looks after the people in it — lifts that talk to lighting, security, and climate, all from one certified, accountable partner.
Care about the customer long after the installation is done.
Most of what we do happens after handover — the maintenance visit, the late-night breakdown call, the question about a strange noise. We measure ourselves on that, not just the install. Every product we bring in has to earn its place by making someone's building genuinely easier to live or work in — that's the bar for every innovation we introduce next.
Manufacturers we choose, not just the ones nearby.
Commercial elevators — Kunshan, China, founded 2002, installed in 128 countries.
Residential lifts with battery backup — up to 6 storeys, 10-year warranty.
Smart building automation — Subotica, Serbia, running locally on-device.
