Enlite, a Mumbai-based full-stack infra automation startup, has raised ₹46 crore in a Series A funding round led by Avaana Capital, with participation from Claypond Capital.
The fresh funds raised will be used to expand into international markets, including the Middle East and Southeast Asia, while deepening its presence in India across commercial real estate, pharmaceuticals, smart airports, data centers, public infrastructure, and hospitality. Enlite also plans to accelerate its edge AI and telemetry capabilities, enabling faster, adaptive decision-making at scale.
The company will strengthen its go-to-market, deployment, and integration teams across both enterprise and government segments.
Founded in November 2017 by Gaurav Bali (CEO) and Garima Bharadwaj (CTO), Enlite offers a full-stack plug-and-play automation solution that replaces traditional control systems with compact wireless hardware, edge-based intelligence, and AI-native responsiveness.
Enlite’s plug-and-play automation stack delivers real-time control through a wireless, cloud-native system that is non-intrusive, non-invasive, and requires zero ongoing dependence once deployed.
Since launching commercially in 2022, Enlite has deployed across 25+ million sq. ft. of real estate, helping buildings move from fixed, rudimentary to real-time autonomy. Enlite enables infrastructure to self-optimise for energy, performance, and user experience.
Enlite is working with iconic developments like Prestige Group and Fairmont Mumbai. They’re also partnering with the country’s top two REITs, marquee GCC projects, leading hospital chains, and several top enterprises.
Enlite has filed three global patents and is now piloting its new LLM-on-hardware technology.
Gaurav Bali, Co-founder & CEO of Enlite, said, “We bootstrapped Enlite for seven years with one belief that India can build a global solution in building automation. This fundraise isn’t just capital infusion; it’s a turning point to scale faster, deepen our tech, and take Enlite to the world.”
Garima Bharadwaj, Co-founder & CTO of Enlite, said, “The first building control systems were designed over four decades ago, and not much has changed since. We’ve rebuilt the entire stack to make buildings responsive, scalable, and intelligent by design.”
Swapna Gupta, Partner at Avaana Capital, said, “Enlite is applying deeptech 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. We believe Enlite has the potential to define a new global standard for infrastructure autonomy.”
