There’s a revolution happening in how buildings think, and it’s being led from Mumbai. Enlite has cracked the code on making infrastructure truly intelligent and not just connected. The hardware is capable of processing a million decisions per minute across everything from HVAC systems to security protocols.
What is the news?
- Enlite, a Mumbai-based full-stack infrastructure automation company, has raised Rs 46 crore ($5 million) in its maiden institutional funding round led by Avaana Capital.
- The round also saw participation from Claypond Capital, the family office of Manipal Group chairman Ranjan Pai, with funds earmarked for international expansion into West Asia and Southeast Asia.
Why is it interesting?
- Founded in 2017 by Gaurav Bali and Garima Bharadwaj, Enlite’s plug-and-play system processes millions of real-time decisions across building equipment using edge AI and wireless hardware. Their deployment across Prestige Group, Fairmont Mumbai, REITs, and hospital networks demonstrates how Indian deep-tech can create scalable solutions for global infrastructure challenges.
- With 10x revenue growth in 2024-25 and targeting 4x growth this year, plus three global patents filed, Enlite represents the emergence of intelligent building infrastructure as a distinct market. Their expansion from pin codes in Kerala to Rajasthan tourist cities shows how AI-first infrastructure companies can scale across diverse geographies while integrating LLM technology directly into hardware.
