Belgaum-based IoT startup SenseGiz, which exports 90 per cent of its product, has been ‘Making in India’ since 2013

Make in India has given a lot of focus and impetus to several manufacturing, IoT, and hardware organisations. However, even before the buzz around ‘Make in India’ started, an IoT and hardware startup SenseGiz was established in Belgaum in late 2013.

SenseGiz has sold over 20,000 units of its flagship product ‘Find’ worldwide. It states that export sales contribute to 90 per cent of the overall sales of the company. Starting from making consumer-focussed IoT products, the team is now focussing on making products for use cases in smart cities and smart home context.

The startup clocked a revenue of Rs 1.5 crore in FY 2014–2015 and states that they see a YoY growth of 100 per cent. “We’ve sold our products to over 50 countries,” says 28-year-old Abhishek Latte, Founder and CEO of SenseGiz.
