Funktion-One is pleased to announce that Em-Tec, the loudspeaker manufacturer’s exclusive distributor for the GCC, is expanding into the Indian market. Headquartered in Dubai and led by audio industry veteran Andy Williams, Em-Tec is joining forces with Audio & Beyond (an EMIL company) to deliver Funktion-One systems to one of the world’s fastest growing markets.

This expansion builds on Em-Tec’s successful project history in India, which already includes prestigious venues such as Big Bull (Hyderabad), The Nines (Mumbai), Four Seasons (Mumbai), and Epitome (Pune). The move formalises the company’s presence in the region and lays the foundation for growth, with a goal of establishing showcase Funktion-One venues across the country. Audio & Beyond is an experienced AV solutions provider with bases in Hyderabad and Delhi.

All system design, project oversight and management will be handled by Em-Tec. Audio & Beyond’s team of skilled technicians are working closely with Em-Tec to gain hands-on experience with Funktion-One systems and learn about the company’s unique audio philosophy.

“We’re thrilled to take this next step and strengthen our connection with the Indian market,” said Andy Williams, Owner of Em-Tec. “There’s a huge appetite for world-class sound, and with the support of Audio & Beyond, we’re now in a strong position to deliver the Funktion-One experience across the country.”

Funktion-One’s Director of Sales Andrew Low said: “We’re really excited that Em-Tec's experience and expertise with Funktion-One systems is being brought to India as our official distribution partner. We have no doubt that their passion for exceptional sound combined with Audio & Beyond’s local presence and high service standards will make this a successful partnership.”

The close cultural and commercial ties between Dubai and India, together with the rise of high-quality entertainment spaces, make this expansion both logical and well-timed. With Em-Tec’s design leadership and Audio & Beyond’s local insight and reach, the partnership is well placed to redefine the sound experience in India’s nightlife and premium hospitality sectors.
