JaduPc’s journey began with a simple idea - to create a truly affordable computing device under $50. In the early days, we experimented with Android-based systems, hoping to repurpose existing low-cost hardware for real computing. However Android’s limitations quickly became evident. from poor multitasking capabilities to a lack of desktop-grade UI/UX. After two rounds of failures we realized that while the hardware was inexpensive the platform wasnt built for productivity. These lessons laid the foundation for our later breakthroughs with Linux based systems.
In 2022 we officially began R&D on our own Linux based Operating System - ShopnoOS, built on top of Debian. Our goal was to create a lightweight, reliable and user-friendly OS optimized for low-cost hardware. We patched the Linux kernel to ensure full hardware compatibility, set up our own software repositories and built custom packages to enable seamless OTA updates. Alongside we focused heavily on refining the UI/UX for everyday users and implemented a robust logging system to provide better diagnostics and remote support. This marked the true beginning of our journey toward a fully in-house built computing ecosystem.
In 2023, we took our first major step into the market with a pilot batch of 100 JaduPc units. These units were distributed to industry experts, businesses and individual users for real-world testing and feedback. Alongside, we initiated limited B2C sales to gauge public interest and usability. The feedback we received was invaluable. It helped us identify performance bottlenecks, usability gaps and improvement opportunities.
In 2024, we focused heavily on refining and preparing for market launch. The feedback from our pilot phase guided major improvements. We fixed the reported issues, revamped the hardware design of JaduPc Starter. Our deep experience of working with operating system opened new doors. We began R&D on XenOS, our automotive-grade operating system built on Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) - a distribution supported by global automotive leaders like Toyota, Honda, Mercedes-Benz and so on.
By 2025, we moved beyond prototyping and entered the growth and scaling phase. With 350+ units sold and 6 strategic partnerships, JaduPc is now ready to scale its MiniPC production. In the automotive domain, we forged key alliances - with EV Life Bangladesh and ROC for strategy and sales, Agrani Automobiles Ltd. for EV bike assembly and manufacturing and XenoEV for next-generation EV bike design.
Alongside our JaduPc, ShopnoOS and XenOS, we introduced Linux-powered and modular JaduPc Kiosk, Its fleet management and remote monitoring capabilities caught the attention of Selise Digital Platform, leading to discussions to replace 70 Samsung kiosks at Zurich Airport with JaduPc Kiosks. We’ve also drawn interest from Shwapno Supermarket, signaling strong local adoption.
