Bengaluru-based automation startup Enlite has raised ₹46 crore (approx. $5.32 Mn) in a Series A funding round led by Avaana Capital, with participation from Claypond Capital.
The company aims to deepen its presence in India and expand into the Middle East and Southeast Asia, while investing in edge AI, telemetry, and go-to-market initiatives targeting sectors like smart airports, pharma, hospitality, commercial real estate, and public infrastructure.
Founded in 2017 by Gaurav Bali and Garima Bharadwaj, Enlite offers a plug-and-play automation platform that replaces legacy wired building management systems (BMS) with custom wireless hardware, cloud software, and edge AI. It eliminates vendor lock-in and supports non-intrusive deployments optimized for energy, performance, and user experience.

Enlite began commercial operations in 2022 and has since deployed its technology across 25 million sq. ft. of real estate, working with major clients like Prestige Group, Fairmont Mumbai, top REITs, and hospital chains. It is also piloting LLM-on-hardware tech and has filed three global patents.
Operating in a global building automation market projected to exceed $827 Bn by 2032, Enlite competes with traditional infra-tech providers. With this fundraise, the company plans to aggressively scale technology and operations and strengthen its position in large-scale infrastructure projects in India and abroad.
