Zenatix IoT Building Automation and Energy Management

Zenatix is an Indian company based in Gurugram that provides IoT automation and monitoring for commercial buildings, founded by Rahul Bhalla, Vishal Bansal and Amarjeet Singh and now part of Schneider Electric. It targets multi-site businesses such as retail chains, restaurants, hotels and offices that face rising energy bills, equipment breakdowns and scattered, manually collected data.

The solution has three layers. Mostly wireless smart devices and controllers connect to HVAC, lighting, cold storage, refrigeration and energy meters without replacing equipment. The Zenatix Gateway processes data at the edge for real-time control and sends it securely to the cloud. A customisable dashboard combines live data, AI-powered automated controls, anomaly detection, automatic alerts and maintenance tickets, and sustainability reports. It is delivered as a fully managed service with dedicated customer success support.

• Sensing and control layer: wireless devices and controllers for HVAC, lighting, cold storage and meters.
• Zenatix IoT Gateway: edge processing and local intelligence for fast, reliable real-time control.
• AI-powered automated controls: keeps comfort while cutting waste based on real-time data.
• Centralised energy management: one view of energy use across all sites and systems.
• Anomaly detection and ticketing: early detection of equipment faults with automatic alerts and maintenance tickets.
• Sustainability and ESG reporting: reports on carbon footprint, savings and green initiatives.

Convenience store, supermarket and fast food chains in Vietnam can control air conditioning and refrigeration across hundreds of outlets and reduce food spoilage. Hotel groups can monitor energy, water and temperature around the clock. Bank branch and ATM networks or cinemas can automate HVAC and lighting schedules from one dashboard.

Zenatix states up to 20% reduction in energy costs with a typical return on investment under 24 months. Reported results include 20% better energy efficiency in hotels, 30% less food spoilage in quick service restaurants, 20% fewer equipment breakdowns in co-working spaces and 25% better customer comfort in retail and multiplexes. Wireless, hardware-light deployment limits disruption to existing sites.

Small and mid-sized commercial sites such as stores, restaurants and hotels make up most buildings in emerging Asian markets but rarely have a BMS. Falling IoT hardware costs, cloud platforms and pressure from rising tariffs and ESG reporting make wireless, managed automation attractive for chains that need consistent control across hundreds of locations.

Headquartered in Gurugram, India, and now part of Schneider Electric, operating as Zenatix by Schneider Electric. The company reports more than 3,000 deployed sites and over 50 enterprise customers. Founding team: Rahul Bhalla (CEO), Vishal Bansal (COO) and Amarjeet Singh (CTO).
