The investment positions Six Sense to meet rising demand for vehicle telematics and control systems, while reinforcing India’s push for domestic electronics manufacturing. It signals strong investor confidence in home‑grown automotive‑grade hardware solutions.
Six Sense Mobility’s fresh $4.8 million infusion arrives at a pivotal moment for India’s automotive electronics sector. By channeling funds into a Noida‑based plant capable of producing one million units annually, the startup not only scales its output but also deepens its engineering and testing capabilities. This vertical integration reduces reliance on overseas suppliers, shortens time‑to‑market, and aligns with government incentives that reward domestic component fabrication. The strategic location in Noida, a hub for technology and logistics, further streamlines supply‑chain efficiencies for its OEM partners.
The company’s portfolio—advanced telematics control units, body control modules, and intelligent implement systems—addresses a growing need for connected, data‑driven vehicles. With 25,000‑30,000 devices already operating in India and Europe, Six Sense has demonstrated product maturity and market traction. Its client roster, featuring Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles and Sonalika Tractors, underscores a diversified revenue base across commercial and agricultural segments. An order book surpassing ₹160 cr reflects robust demand, positioning the firm to capitalize on the shift toward vehicle intelligence, remote diagnostics, and over‑the‑air updates.
India’s Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) recently expanded to a ₹40,000 cr outlay, signaling strong policy support for local electronics production. This fiscal boost, coupled with rising venture interest—as seen in contemporaneous raises by peers like Indigrid—creates a fertile environment for startups to scale. Six Sense’s move to build domestic capacity not only leverages these incentives but also sets a benchmark for other deep‑tech firms aiming to embed themselves within the country’s automotive supply chain. As smart mobility gains momentum, the company’s enhanced manufacturing footprint could translate into faster innovation cycles and greater competitiveness on the global stage.
Deeptech startup Six Sense Mobility has raised around $4.8 Mn (₹44 Cr) in a Pre-Series A funding round led by ace investor Ashish Kacholia, with participation from existing investor Piper Serica Angel Fund.
It plans to utilise the fresh capital to build a new electronics manufacturing plant in Noida, with an initial production capacity of 1 Mn units annually. Besides, it will also invest to improve its R&D and engineering capabilities, enhance focus on product quality, testing and compliance.
Founded by Sumit Roy, Kapil Rao, and Narendra Kumar Verma in 2022, Six Sense Mobility manufactures and supplies hardware, firmware, and software designs directly to automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and fleet operators with in-house manufacturing and design capabilities for smart mobility solutions.
It currently counts OEMs like Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles and Sonalika Tractors among its clients, designing and manufacturing parts such as advanced telematics control units, body control units and intelligent implement control systems for these companies.
“We have demonstrated product maturity, strong customer adoption, and global readiness, with 25,000–30,000 devices already deployed across India and Europe. Backed by an order book exceeding ₹160 Cr, our customers have shown strong confidence in our design and manufacturing capabilities. This investment will enable us to accelerate product development and scale production significantly,” CEO Roy said.
The IIT Delhi incubated startup had previously raised ₹6 Cr in a seed round led by Piper Serica in 2024
The main focus for Six Sense Mobility is smart mobility through advanced telematics and vehicular intelligence, including products like vehicle infotainment systems, automated differential control modules and advanced body control units that allow for remote monitoring, diagnostics and upgradation along with immobilisation, crash detection and real-time GPS tracking, among other capabilities.
A significant boost was given to the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) in the Union Budget this year, increasing the outlay to ₹40,000 Cr from ₹22,919 Cr earlier. This has made manufacturing startups more incentivised than ever to build in India and investors are taking note.
For instance, electronics systems design and manufacturing (ESDM) startup Indigrid announced an additional ₹40 Cr raise in its Series A funding round earlier this week.
