About us
Design isn’t a department here.
It’s the founder.
Kaniworks is led by Maheswaran Manoharan — a UX lead who spent 16+ years designing enterprise IoT platforms at one of the world’s leading elevator and building-technology companies. That career earned him a Red Dot Design Award and nine design patents, and shipped software into buildings across the world. That discipline is now in every product Kaniworks builds.
