Enlog Elevates Its CTO Ayush Gupta To Cofounder

Deeptech startup Enlog has elevated its chief technology officer Ayush Gupta to the position of cofounder.

With this move, the company is looking to strengthen its position in the energy sustainability ecosystem.

Gupta joined Enlog in 2023 as the CTO of the company. Prior to this, he worked with ecommerce platform OhLocal at various leadership positions including vice president of engineering. 

As per Enlog, Gupta leveraged artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to create IoT devices that facilitate real-time energy monitoring, optimise energy consumption, and identify faults. 

The company further claims that under his leadership, Enlog expanded its infrastructure which can now handle heavy data logs, provide energy efficiency to its users and scale up to 10 Mn IoT devices.

“Our trust and confidence in Ayush’s leadership extend beyond his technical contributions. Ayush has played a vital role in the rapid growth of Enlog, and his vision will be instrumental in shaping the company’s future,” said Enlog’s founder and chief executive officer Bharath Rnkawat.

This elevation aligns with the startup’s vision to promote sustainability through deep-tech and innovative leadership, said the company in a release.

“My vision for the future is to drive innovation and position Enlog as a leader in this industry,” said Gupta on his elevation.

Founded by Rnkawat and Jharna Saha in 2017, Enlog leverages AI and IoT to offer end-to-end energy management solutions like optimising energy usage, reduction in the cost of electricity and reducing carbon emissions. The company claims to have partnered with more than 700 co-living properties and 35 sustainable hotels and offices. 

This comes at a time when Indian startups offering energy efficiency solutions are getting a lot of traction from the investors.

A few months back, KARBAN Envirotech, a startup which makes energy-efficient electronic appliances,raised $1.07 Mn (INR 8.93 Cr) in a seed funding round co-led by All in Capital, Titan Capital and  Rainmatter.

Similarly, in February 2024, energy efficiency startup Smart Joules bagged a debt funding of $8 Mn (about INR 66 Cr) from the Denmark government’s Investment Fund for Developing Countries (IFU) under a green strategic partnership between India and Denmark.
