Wireless Building Intelligence Enlite Expands Global Footprint with 46 Crore Series A

Rewriting the Future: Enlite’s Wireless Leap into Built World Intelligence

Prologue: Shifting the Smart Building Paradigm

For decades, most of the world's buildings have been managed by inflexible, wired control systems—complex to integrate, expensive to maintain, and unable to keep up with the demands of fast-changing urban environments. Into this landscape steps Enlite, a visionary, design-led company, founded in November 2017 by Gaurav Bali (CEO) and Garima Bharadwaj (CTO). Their mission: to transform static infrastructure into living, self-optimizing environments.

Building a Foundation: Seven Years of Silent Diligence

Enlite’s journey is one of grit and deeptech craftsmanship. For over four years, the founding team built every layer of automation technology in-house:

• Custom-designed wireless hardware
• Edge-based, AI-driven intelligence
• Telemetry engines and cloud-native software

By 2022, Enlite’s full-stack, plug-and-play solution was ready—not as a patch, but as a total reimagination of what building management could be. Already, it has spread across 25+ million sq. ft. of real estate, powering iconic developments and modern landmarks across India.

The Growing Automation Gap

India’s urban landscape is expanding at breakneck speed, with more than 2.3 billion sq. ft. of new commercial space on the horizon by 2030. Yet, most buildings remain under-automated:

• 85% lack any meaningful smart controls
• Even premium towers see advanced systems in less than 10%, due to steep costs and complexity

Enlite bridges this gap by offering a wireless, non-intrusive automation stack. Its technology can bring an entire building online without rewiring—free from vendor lock-in—delivering real-time intelligence for energy, performance, and user experience.

The Turning Point: Series A Funding, Global Ambitions

In July 2025, Enlite announced it had raised ₹46 crore in Series A funding led by Avaana Capital, with participation from Claypond Capital. Co-founder Gaurav Bali calls this “a turning point to scale faster, deepen our tech, and take Enlite to the world.” The round is strategically allocated to:

• Accelerate international expansion into the Middle East and Southeast Asia
• Deepen AI, telemetry, and large language model (LLM)-on-hardware R&D
• Scale teams in deployment, go-to-market, and integration for both enterprise and government clients

As Swapna Gupta, Partner at Avaana Capital, noted:

“Enlite is applying deep tech to transform how critical infrastructure is designed and operated. Their purpose-built hardware, real-time intelligence, and native interoperability can set new global benchmarks in autonomy and sustainability.”

Impact & Clientele: Redefining Smart Infrastructure

Enlite’s wireless automation has already been deployed for market leaders:

• Prestige Group and Fairmont Mumbai
• India’s top two REITs
• Major hospital chains and public infrastructure projects
• Collaborations with GCC marquee projects

Their platform enables seamless, scalable, wireless control, with no ongoing dependence once live. Buildings—old or new—become adaptive, energy-efficient, and future-ready.

Looking Ahead: Patents, Pilots, and Scaling Horizons

With three global patents filed and pilot projects running LLM models directly on hardware, Enlite is among the few Indian infra-tech innovators shortlisted for massive public infrastructure undertakings, standing tall beside global legacy brands.

As the global building automation market surges toward $220.7B by 2030 and smart building technologies aim for $827.7B by 2032, Enlite’s plug-and-play vision positions it as a new force in “Built World Intelligence”.
