Six Sense Mobility, an IIT Delhi-incubated automotive technology startup, has raised ₹44 crore in a Pre-Series A funding round led by investor Ashish Kacholia. Existing investor Piper Serica Angel Fund also participated in the round.

The company offers in-house development and manufacturing capabilities to automotive partners. Six Sense Mobility has developed products such as Telematics Control Units, Body Control Units, and Implement Control Systems.

Sumit Roy, CEO and Co-Founder of 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”.

The company stated that changes in the automotive industry, including the shift toward connected and software-driven vehicles, are influencing OEM supply chains. It also referenced the Government of India’s focus on domestic electronics manufacturing. Six Sense Mobility said it aims to work with OEMs as a technology partner.

Ashish Kacholia, lead investor stated that ,“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.”

Our follow-on investment reflects deep conviction in their ability to become a long-term technology partner to leading OEMs in India and globally.”

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” .
