Yes, and it is a good yes - scent-machine placement, a discreet power point, and whether the unit is freestanding, wall-mounted or HVAC-connected should all be decided during HVAC and interior design, not after each gallery opens, because those decisions cost almost nothing up front and cost real disruption to retrofit.
Quick answers — read this first
Should scent-machine placement be decided during interior design or after a sales gallery opens? During interior design. Placement, a discreet power point, and whether the unit is freestanding, wall-mounted or HVAC-connected are close to free decisions at design stage and genuinely disruptive to retrofit - a finished gallery forces a choice between a visible machine or a trailing cable.

Does a scent machine need special electrical planning in a new gallery? No. A SOSA Vaayu draws 5W, a trivial electrical load that needs only a single, well-placed power point - this is a joinery and services question, not a power one, and does not require a dedicated circuit.

What else should a developer specify at design stage besides machine placement? Where the HVAC return sits. That detail decides whether the gallery, the sample flat and any executive lounge can each carry an independently controlled fragrance later, or are stuck sharing one air loop.
The short answer
Short answer: yes, specify scent-machine placement, a discreet power point, and freestanding vs wall vs HVAC mount during interior and HVAC design, not after each gallery opens - retrofitting means a visible machine or a trailing cable. 5W is a trivial electrical load, so this is a joinery and placement question. Also specify where the HVAC return sits, since that decides what can be zoned later.
The pick: a SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) line item for a typical gallery, or a SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) for a double-height one, specified in the design brief with placement, power point and mount type decided before construction.

Yes, and it is a good yes. A scent-machine line item in the design brief costs nothing extra and prevents a visible box or a trailing cable at every future gallery.
The shortlist to write into the design brief
Straight answer
Should scent-machine placement be specified during HVAC and interior design for a developer with multiple upcoming sales galleries, rather than decided project by project after each one opens?
Yes, and specifying it once at design stage rather than repeatedly at launch is genuinely the better sequencing, not just the tidier one. Placement, a discreet power point, and whether the unit is freestanding, wall-mounted, or connected to the HVAC are design-stage decisions that cost almost nothing to make early and cost real disruption to make late. Retrofit a SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) or SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) into a gallery that is already finished, and the choice becomes a visible machine sitting somewhere it was never designed to be seen, or a trailing power cable across a floor a buyer is about to walk - neither of which belongs in a luxury sales environment, and both of which are avoidable with one line item added to the interior design brief before fit-out begins. It is worth correcting a common assumption here: 5W is a trivial electrical load, well within what any standard point can supply, so this is fundamentally a joinery and services question, not a power one - it does not need a dedicated circuit or meaningful electrical planning beyond a single, well-placed outlet chosen at the same time as the console or wall panel it sits near. The other detail worth specifying at the exact same stage is where the HVAC return sits. That single decision determines whether the gallery, the sample flat and any executive lounge can each be independently zoned and controlled later, or whether they are locked into sharing one air-handling loop regardless of what the fragrance plan wants. Once this specification exists in your standard gallery template, every future project inherits the same answer automatically - machine type, placement, power point and HVAC zoning are already decided before the first buyer ever walks through the door, rather than being solved, worse and more visibly, after each individual launch. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Yes - specify placement, power point and mount type during design, not after opening. 5W is a trivial electrical load, so it is a joinery and placement question; also specify the HVAC return location, since it decides what can be zoned later.
For a multi-gallery developer, the honest specification is written once, at design stage: a SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) for a typical gallery, or a SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) for a double-height one, with placement, power point and mount type decided before construction begins - never retrofitted.

The two machines to specify at design stage

Two machines to write into the design brief once, so every future gallery inherits the same answer. Both pictures link straight to the product page.

SOSA Vaayu
A typical gallery, specified at design stage
SOSA Vaayu
Waterless cold-air nebuliser rated to 1000m³ - about 2,000-3,000 sq ft. Placement, a discreet power point and mount type decided during interior design, never retrofitted after opening.
From ₹11,999
SOSA Angaan
A double-height gallery, HVAC-connected
SOSA Angaan
HVAC nebulising diffuser rated to 3,000m³. Specified during HVAC design itself, so the connection point and return location are built in rather than retrofitted.
From ₹25,999
SOSA Vaayu
The two machines to specify before construction begins
SOSA Vaayu Waterless Diffuser
1000m³ coverage (about 2,000-3,000 sq ft), 400ml tank lasting up to 75 days, Bluetooth app with 1h/4h/8h/24h timers, under 38dB, freestanding or wall/HVAC mount, auto-stop and key-lock, 5W power draw. CE, RoHS and SGS certified. Made in India.

Why placement belongs in the design brief, not the launch checklist

Three things belong in the design brief: placement and mount type, why 5W changes nothing about the electrical plan, and why the HVAC return location matters as much as the machine itself.

1
Placement and mount type, decided early
Freestanding, wall-mounted, or HVAC-connected - a console or joinery decision
Deciding whether a unit will be freestanding, wall-mounted, or connected to the HVAC is a joinery and interior-design decision, made alongside the console, reception desk or wall panel it sits near. Made at design stage, it costs nothing extra. Made after the gallery is finished, it means either an obviously placed box or a visible retrofit that undermines the finish the rest of the space worked to achieve.
Tip: decide the mount type with the console, not after the console is already built.
SOSA Vaayu
A Vaayu specified this way sits exactly where it was designed to, from the gallery's first day open.
See SOSA Vaayu →
2
5W changes nothing about the electrical plan
A trivial load - this is a placement question, not a power one
A SOSA Vaayu draws 5W, which is a negligible electrical load requiring nothing beyond a single standard power point. The only reason this needs specifying at all is location - where that point sits, chosen alongside the unit's placement - not capacity, wiring gauge, or a dedicated circuit, none of which this decision requires.
SOSA Vaayu
The Vaayu's DC 12V/1A, 5W draw needs only a discreetly placed standard outlet.
See SOSA Vaayu →
3
Specify the HVAC return location too
It decides what can honestly be zoned later
Where the HVAC return sits determines whether the gallery, the sample flat and any executive lounge can each carry an independently controlled fragrance later, or are locked into sharing one air loop regardless of what the eventual scenting plan wants. This is worth specifying at the same design stage as the machine itself, because it cannot be changed after the ductwork is built.
Tip: the return location is a zoning decision made once, in the drawings, or never again.
SOSA Angaan
An Angaan connection point, planned with the HVAC design, keeps a double-height gallery's zoning genuinely open.
See SOSA Angaan →
The SOSA principle
A machine retrofitted after opening is always visible, or always trailing a cable. A machine specified at design stage is never either.
One line item in the design brief, written once, is inherited by every gallery your team opens afterward.
SOSA Vaayu
Placement at design stage: Freestanding, wall-mounted or HVAC-connected - decided with the console, never after, ₹11,999.

Specify it once, use it on every future gallery

One table, because a multi-gallery developer's design brief really needs three specified items, not a decision made separately at every launch.

Most developers solve this problem after each gallery opens, which means solving it worse every single time. Writing placement, power point and HVAC return location into the standard design brief once removes the decision from every future launch. A free Noida scenting plan can help draft that specification.

A note from Sonal

Yes, and it is a good yes - specifying scent-machine placement during HVAC and interior design, before each gallery is even built out, is exactly the right sequencing, and I would go further: it should be standard practice across every upcoming project, not a decision revisited site by site.

Here is why the timing matters so much. Placement, a discreet power point, and whether the unit is freestanding, wall-mounted, or connected to the HVAC are all decisions that are close to free at the design stage and genuinely disruptive after handover. Retrofit a SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) or SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) into a finished gallery and you are choosing between a visible machine sitting on a console where it was never meant to be seen, or a trailing power cable across a floor a buyer is about to walk. Neither is what a luxury sales gallery should look like, and both are entirely avoidable with one line item in the interior design brief. I want to correct a common misconception here too: 5W is a trivial electrical load - this is a joinery and services question, not a power one, and it does not need a dedicated circuit or any real electrical planning beyond a single, well-placed point.

One more thing worth specifying at the same design stage: where the HVAC return sits. That single detail decides what can honestly be zoned later - whether the gallery, the sample flat and any executive lounge can each carry their own setting, or whether they are stuck sharing one air loop whether you want that or not. Get this into the drawings once, and every future gallery your team opens will already know where the machine goes, where the power point is, and where the fragrance can and cannot be separately controlled - rather than solving the same problem, worse, after each launch. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

Frequently asked questions

Should scent-machine placement be decided at design stage or after a gallery opens?
At design stage. Placement, a discreet power point, and the mount type are close to free decisions during interior design and genuinely disruptive to retrofit - a finished gallery forces a choice between a visible machine or a trailing cable.
Does a scent machine require special electrical work in a new sales gallery?
No. A SOSA Vaayu draws 5W, a trivial load needing only a single standard power point - this is a placement and joinery question, not an electrical one.
What should be specified alongside machine placement during design?
Where the HVAC return sits. That decides whether the gallery, sample flat and any executive lounge can be independently zoned and controlled later, or are locked into sharing one air loop.
Can the same scent-machine specification be reused across multiple upcoming galleries?
Yes - that is the point of specifying it once at design stage. Machine type, placement, power point and HVAC zoning are decided a single time and inherited automatically by every future gallery in the pipeline.
Is a wall-mounted or HVAC-connected scent machine better for a sales gallery?
It depends on the gallery's size and HVAC design, which is exactly why the choice belongs in the interior and HVAC design stage rather than being decided ad hoc after the space is finished.
