New Delhi, India, Feb 13: Six Sense Mobility, an IIT Delhi incubated, automotive deep tech startup focused on building intelligent electronic systems and connected vehicle solutions, has raised ₹44 crore in a Pre-Series A funding round led by ace investor Ashish Kacholia. The round also saw participation by existing investor Piper Serica Angel Fund.
The fresh capital will drive manufacturing expansion, including a new state-of-the-art electronics manufacturing plant in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, with initial capacity exceeding one million units annually. R&D acceleration will continue to be one of the main focus areas for Six Sense to build advanced engineering products for automotive OEMs with a deeper focus on product quality, testing, and compliance.
Founded in 2022, Six Sense Mobility is redefining the automotive supply model by operating as a full-stack Tier 1 supplier. The company delivers end-to-end, in-house capabilities across hardware, firmware, and software design, supported by OEM-grade manufacturing at scale, enabling faster integration, higher reliability, and seamless collaboration with automotive partners.
The company has already designed, developed and delivered next-gen mobility products like Advanced Telematics Control Units, Body Control Units and Intelligent Implement Control Systems to some of India’s top automotive OEM’s like Sonalika Tractors and Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles.
Commenting on the fundraise, Sumit Roy, CEO & Co Founder, Six Sense Mobility, said, “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 crore, our customers have shown strong confidence in our design and manufacturing capabilities—confidence that is further reinforced by our investors through this latest round of funding. This investment will enable us to accelerate product development and scale production significantly. By indigenising critical automotive technologies, we aim to reduce India’s reliance on imports while positioning Six Sense Mobility as a credible, globally competitive alternative to established auto component suppliers”.
As the global automotive industry undergoes a fundamental transition—from mechanical systems to software-defined, connected platforms—driven by evolving consumer expectations and rapid technological change, OEMs are rethinking both innovation cycles and supply-chain resilience. In parallel, the Government of India’s Make in India push in electronics and deep-tech is accelerating demand for localized, globally competitive manufacturing partners. Positioned at the intersection of these shifts, Six Sense Mobility is evolving beyond component supply to become a long-term technology partner for OEMs—enabling faster innovation cycles, stronger unit economics, and greater control over vehicle technology roadmaps.
Commenting on the investment, lead investor Ashish Kacholia said,“Automotive electronics and software will define the next era of vehicle innovation. Six Sense Mobility’s execution speed, vertically integrated platform, and production-ready capabilities give them a strong edge in building enduring OEM partnerships.”
Ajay Modi, Investment Director, Piper Serica VC Fund, added, “From early pilots to scaled Tier-1 OEM deployments, Six Sense has built a credible, full-stack automotive electronics platform with strong product maturity and customer validation. Our follow-on investment reflects deep conviction in their ability to become a long-term technology partner to leading OEMs in India and globally.”
Commenting on the future technology plans, Kapil Rao, CTO of Six Sense Mobility, said, “The Government of India’s vision to enhance road safety through vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication in new vehicles marks a critical step toward safer, smarter mobility. Six Sense Mobility already possesses the core technology and engineering capabilities required to design and manufacture V2V-enabled devices at scale, fully aligned with global standards and India’s localization objectives. We are well positioned to support this national initiative and partner with OEMs to translate the government’s vision into real-world impact” .
This round builds on the company’s earlier pre-seed funding in September 2023, led by Saurabh Nayyar of Docbel Group, and a successful seed round in August 2024, led by Piper Serica, underscoring strong and continued investor confidence in the company’s vision, execution, and long-term growth potential.
