Paul Blair
Hello, I’m Paul, one of the founders. Like most people I enjoy keeping active and as a military veteran I've always been a full-on sports enthusiast. A couple of years ago on a skiing trip my friend tore his ACL so I spent the rest of the trip skiing solo while he rested up.
I started listening to music on the slopes- it really adds to the thrill, pace and sense of freedom – but also keeps you motivated, especially when you’re skiing alone. However I found it frustrating trying to adjust the volume, skip a track or even accept an incoming call. I had to frequently stop, take off a glove, find my phone, press a button before replacing everything to carry on!
I had the same frustrations controlling music when cycling, kayaking and training in the gym, there was also the issue of trying to control a sports camera on my motorcycle helmet when voice control just wouldn't work.
I love my gadgets and tech but couldn't find anything that would solve these basic but all too common problems. I took the plunge, left a full time corporate job and set out to find a co-founder with the technical know how to turn an idea into reality. I met Kumar and so ArcX was born.

Kumar Bala
Hi I’m Kumar, a founder at ArcX. My whole life, I have been driven by a curiosity and passion for electronics. As a child in India, I was captivated by all things electronic, a fascination that propelled
me towards an academic path at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani.
My passion for technology then took me to Bristol, UK on a research fellowship, where I delved deeper into the global technology landscape. My career took a significant turn in
Germany, working on pioneering automotive technologies, including early-stage driver assistance and autonomous vehicles. These formative experiences paved the way for my later role in England as a consultant in emerging technologies, where I dedicated myself to guiding startups, SMEs, and large corporations through the intricacies of innovation in a fast-paced world.
In 2019, I met Paul, who was searching for a technical co-founder. Together, we embarked on a new venture to challenge the status quo in wearable technology.
Wherever you are, whatever activity moves you, Xperience control!
