How two entrepreneurs are building an Industrial IoT ecosystem that connects factories, intelligence and technology.
INTRODUCTION
In an era where industries are racing towards automation, artificial intelligence and intelligent manufacturing, a technology company emerging from Nagpur is working to make factories smarter, safer and more efficient.
SenseLive Technologies, founded by Abhijeet Bhoyar, with Mayur Dafare as Co-founder, is building an ecosystem of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions designed to transform how industries monitor, manage and optimise their operations.
What began in 2019 with a focused vision around IoT-based cold-chain monitoring has gradually evolved into a wider industrial technology journey.
FROM A VISION TO AN INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
Every technology company begins with a problem worth solving. For SenseLive, that starting point was the need for better monitoring and connectivity. The founders recognised the potential of connected devices to bring real-time visibility into operations where manual monitoring and disconnected systems often limited efficiency.
The company gradually expanded its capabilities beyond its initial focus, entering industrial connectivity, energy management, production monitoring, water management and electrical infrastructure monitoring.
The journey reflects a commitment to developing practical technology rather than simply following industry trends. With engineering-led product development and a growing portfolio, SenseLive has positioned itself in the evolving Industry 4.0 landscape.
BUILDING TECHNOLOGY, ONE MILESTONE AT A TIME
The company’s growth has been marked by a series of product and technology milestones.
In 2020, SenseLive introduced its X5050 industrial gateway, followed by developments in energy management and controller technology. In 2021, the company expanded into production monitoring and participated in a satellite IoT demonstration collaboration involving ISRO and GHRCE UnitySat, as described on its website.
In 2022, the business took an important corporate step with the incorporation of IDT Innovation Technologies Private Limited.
The following years brought further expansion. In 2023, SenseLive introduced its Water Management System and Edge8000 wireless busbar monitoring solution. In 2024, it expanded its connectivity portfolio with products including X7900 and X9000. By 2025, its journey had extended further into satellite IoT hardware development.
BEYOND SENSORS: MAKING INDUSTRIES INTELLIGENT
SenseLive’s approach goes beyond manufacturing individual electronic devices. Its ecosystem combines hardware, industrial connectivity and software platforms to help businesses make informed operational decisions.
Its solutions include:
- Energy Management System: Helping industries monitor electricity consumption, identify inefficiencies and improve energy visibility.
- Water Management System: Enabling better monitoring of water consumption, flow and related operational parameters.
- Production Monitoring: Providing insights into machine performance, production efficiency and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
- Digital Checksheet: Digitising inspections and operational checklists to reduce paperwork and improve traceability.
- Busbar Temperature Monitoring: Wireless monitoring designed to identify abnormal temperature conditions in electrical infrastructure.
- Industrial Gateways and Controllers: Connecting industrial equipment with digital platforms through multiple communication technologies.
The company’s technology portfolio includes industrial communication protocols and connectivity options such as Modbus, MQTT, RS485, LoRa and cellular networks, helping bridge the gap between physical infrastructure and digital intelligence.
A GROWING INDUSTRIAL FOOTPRINT
SenseLive identifies manufacturing, automotive, energy, infrastructure, chemicals and utilities among its target industries. Its website showcases associations and customer stories involving organisations such as CEAT, Coal India, Haldiram, JSW and Mahindra.
The company also publishes selected case studies highlighting improvements in operational efficiency, resource management and industrial monitoring.
These applications demonstrate the practical potential of Industrial IoT: identifying inefficiencies, improving visibility and supporting faster, data-driven decisions.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGY
At the centre of this journey are Founder Abhijeet Bhoyar and Co-founder Mayur Dafare. Their complementary engineering backgrounds have contributed to the company’s product-focused approach.
From its beginnings in Nagpur to its expanding industrial technology portfolio, SenseLive represents the growing ambitions of India’s emerging deep-tech ecosystem.
The company’s journey also highlights an important shift in India’s startup landscape: innovation is no longer restricted to traditional metropolitan technology hubs. Specialised engineering companies from cities like Nagpur are increasingly participating in the development of technologies that serve industrial and infrastructure needs.
THE NEXT CHAPTER: CONNECTING INDUSTRY TO TOMORROW
As manufacturing becomes increasingly data-driven, the demand for intelligent monitoring, connected infrastructure and automation is expected to grow. Industries are looking beyond traditional equipment towards integrated systems that offer visibility, reliability and measurable operational value.
For SenseLive Technologies, the opportunity lies in taking its engineering capabilities further, expanding its industrial presence and continuing to develop solutions for an increasingly connected world.
From monitoring a single operational parameter to connecting complex industrial ecosystems, SenseLive’s journey is a story of ambition, engineering and the pursuit of smarter possibilities.
ACHIEVEMENTS
