“The country (India) is going through a transformation in terms of infrastructure, and is the fastest-growing market in the world. That’s where we believe what we are building adds a lot of value,” said Gaurav Bali, cofounder and CEO of Enlite.

“The cloud platform we’ve built today houses thousands of algorithms that control different types of building equipment—depending on the geography, the number of people inside, the external environment and several other factors,” said Bharadwaj.

“We serve a lot of pin codes. The ones that have come up in the last six months are from remote parts of Kerala, resort towns in Rajasthan, and tourist cities in Uttar Pradesh,” she added.

Swapna Gupta, partner at Avaana Capital said, “Enlite is applying deep tech to transform how critical infrastructure is designed and operated. The team has built purpose-built hardware with real-time intelligence and native interoperability to transform how infrastructure is managed at scale across sectors and geographies.”
