Meet Hyderabad Engineer Dressing India’s Workforce for Danger

At a time when the initial founders are involved in victory to break the computer code, create applications or make saas shooting, another entrepreneur quietly solves another visceral problem: saving lives on the factory floors.
Kausthub Kaundinia, CEO and founding partner of Hyderabad -based Jarsh security, does not comply with the traditional starting poster. The next convenience does not see the economic platform. Instead, he reinterprets the hard hat, and in this process re -thinking what security means for the great industrial labor of India.
Founded in 2017, Jarsh security, which was established in 2017 and returned to industrial deep technology, is a brand new AI-AAI-AI-AI-AI for daily warming, voltage, heights and dangerous conditions. In simpler, wearable technology for electrical engineers in the power plants or underground miners!
India’s blue -collar workers, especially workers in the road and infrastructure sectors, find themselves in unimaginable dangerous working conditions in other parts of the world. From 2015 to 2023, more than 48,000 industrial workers died tragically due to heat exposure, fall or electric shock. In the meantime, road teams are often working far away from fast -moving traffic, usually lack of most basic safety equipment or hydration. “We built smart cities, but was left out of the security equation, Anj said Anjali Menon, Director of Urban Lovehoods Forum. The disturbing videos of workers without tapes, the pier without harnesses, has created an increased concern, but the implementation of security arrangements is inconsistent. Jarsh’s technology -oriented approach aims to change the narrative around security and to consider it as a key area for innovation instead of a regulatory obligation. As the founder Kausthub says: “Most of the stress is a measurable factor in business. For an industrial worker, this is a matter of life and death. This needs to change.”
Jarsh’s flagship product Activecooling helmet is a game exchanger in the world of security equipment. This is the first air -conditioned helmet designed to cool down to cold -15 ° C or to warm up to a comfortable +10 ° C depending on the conditions. This is not just a flashy trick; It is a very important tool for workers in the factories where summer temperature can exceed 50 ° C. Thanks to this innovation, more than 30,000 workers have been safe so far.
But Kaundinia did not stop here. Jarsh’s smart security package goes beyond thermal protection. It has a Smartvolt, a wearable voltage detector that does not require contact; Kavach is a linked harness set that falls and sends live warnings; And Workalive, a AI -guided monitoring system that allows supervisors to see the perspective of a worker in real time and allows them to take steps before the accidents occur.
“Our thesis, Ka he explains Kaundinia, a graduate of IIM Ahmedabad and a proud member of Forbes 30 under 30 Asia,“ The problem is not the absence of security protocols, the gear fashion we have. We turn personal protective equipment into the latest sensor network. ”
And the market reacts. The ₹ 25 Lakh in the FY23 was withdrawn to 4.5 Crore in Jarsh 24 financially, and now the annual 3x growth orbit is on the road for La 20 Crore. Customer lists read Industrial India, Maruti Suzuki, Hindustan Zinc, Adani and JSW.
The venture also made headlines when the four sharks competed for a share in Season 4. Kaundinia and its founding partners squeezed their hands with Aman Gupta (boat) in exchange for 1.5% equity, a movement where new retail and brand expertise unlocked.
The start is looking at international markets after collecting 4 Crore from investors, including Mumbai Angels and Qrops. A UAE -based participation is on the pipeline for industrial customers in the Middle East and Africa. When he returns home, the “security as a service” solution is being tested at the moment, which uses the predictive analytical to stop it before IoT devices and accidents.
Jarsh’s vision only goes far beyond helmets and harnesses. Until 2030, more than 10 patents have already been given and they plan for more than 50 smart security products, they play long games. Their goals? To position India not only as a production power plant, but also as a leader in the first innovation of workers. This is often a timely message to the global security industry, which is generally traditional and slow to embrace digital developments.
Perhaps what makes the story of Caundinia so attractive is the simplicity of the idea: that every worker deserves dignity, protection and home safe shot. In a starting world that chases Daus and following financing tours, Jarsh chases something older and more vital in dangerous places with a more vital, peace of mind.
After all, all revolutions do not wear Hoodies. Some wear helmets.
