India IoT Startup Directory Oct 2017

[ Editors Note :  IoTForum has been publishing  a Directory of Indian Startups since 2015. This landscape view as of Jan 2017 is a good introduction. This post updates for Oct 2017]

The compilation of these 900+ IoT start-ups ( As of 8 October 2017) came from and update to older Directory launched earlier. We use multiple sources. It came from large corporates, accelerators, incubators [1], bodies like TiE and IESA, VCs and angel investors, start-up investor connect platforms and from media. We thank all our partners for helping us compile the useful information and compile the list of IoT start-ups. The list is available at www.IotforIndia.org.

Criterion

IoT is emerging and has no clear definition. For this directory we have been broad and included robotics and smart even if they may not have much connectivity. IoT also uses non internet connectivity like Bluetooth or LPWAN like LoRa so we have relaxed the need for cloud based solutions. We have included data analytics or and Software only providers where we knew that there was significant IoT connection. In the past we have also included AgriPortals as that has been the main way AgriTech adoption was beginning. We will review these more carefully in future. We also cover many start-ups in the IoT infrastructure (data loggers, real time analytics) space sometimes even if they do not have any device. We exclude generic software offerings which have not been used in a IoT context. Since embedded electronics and takes time to develop we have included companies and SME with a longer innings exceeding 5 years provided they are dominantly into smart devices.

Location

We have attempted to allocate a primary location to each company. Some of them have HQ outside India and in that case we have used the operational HQ in India. In case of multiple locations, we have attempted to assign a primary location.

Trade Name or Brand

Some companies are better known by the product or brand ( getActive) rather than the company name ( 2MPowerHealth) so we have included the trade name or product or brand where we knew this. You may find it easier to search for a specific company or product on the website but we have provided listings by Brand and City also. Names and brands can be very similar like Indrion Technologies and Indriyn Data Analytics. We have a internal Company ID and this may be printed on some reports. Please use that when corresponding for a correction of data.

Summary

Location wise

Cities < 10 sentries are merged into “Other”

Companies with foreign only locations are located by country.

Sector Classification

We have classified by Industry or vertical or sector to which they provide services[i]. In many cases multiple verticals are served. The new 2017 classification is
