History and funding
Enercomp was founded in 2013 by Jatin Madhavjibhai Patel and Suresh Shahdadpuri in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Anu Shahdadpuri joined as Director (Software). The company initially operated in the fields of energy and information technology, offering aerial mapping using UAVs, thermographic inspection of solar PV plants, ERP implementation, Salesforce project management, and Smart Grid consultancy.
The CEPT University–Enercomp MoU, signed on 5 September 2018, was an early milestone, establishing an industry–academic partnership for research and applications of drone/UAV technology.
Funding
Two funding rounds have been confirmed by independent media sources:
| Date | Round type | Amount | Lead / key investors | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 September 2021 | Angel round | ₹1.5 crore (~$204K) | ah! Ventures Angel Platform | Outlook Business[1] |
| 11 May 2023 | Seed round (Pre-Series A) | ₹2.6 crore (~$316K) | Bestvantage Investments (lead), Soonicorn Ventures, ah! Ventures Angel Platform | Entrackr,[2] Outlook Business, Crunchbase |
The 2021 angel round was led by ah! Ventures, its 23rd investment of that year. Prior to this round, the company had raised Rs 1.5 crore and reported consistent year-on-year growth, with a 3X growth rate over three years according to the company.[3]
The 2023 seed round proceeds were earmarked to develop drone technology and expand manufacturing operations. Startup intelligence platforms including Tracxn list additional undisclosed rounds between 2021 and 2023, though these have not been independently confirmed by media reporting. Investors confirmed across both rounds include ah! Ventures, Bestvantage Investments, and Soonicorn Ventures. The company's valuation is estimated at ₹70.5 crore by Tracxn as of June 2025.
Services
Infrastructure mapping
Enercomp provides UAV-based mapping and analysis for buildings, roads and railways, power-line feasibility studies, hydrology and watershed analysis, roads and utilities planning, and slum mapping. These services are aligned with government programmes such as Housing for All and the Smart Cities Mission.
Energy and utilities
The company conducts aerial thermographic surveys of solar photovoltaic plants and wind turbines using drone-mounted thermal sensors, enabling faster defect identification. Inspection services for power distribution and transmission lines are also offered.
Agriculture
Crop health assessment is performed using NDVI and VARI algorithms at millimetre-level precision for farmers and agricultural insurers. The company also offers precision pesticide spraying via agricultural drones and forest mapping.
Data processing
Services include data format conversions, orthomosaic generation, digitisation, DSM and DTM production, 3D mesh and point cloud generation from photogrammetric data, and PDF-to-CAD conversion.
Bathymetry
Enercomp offers drone-based and USV-based bathymetric surveying. The company has developed a triple-hull Bathymetry USV (weight: 10 kg; maximum speed: 9 knots; draft: 0.15 m; maximum load: 35 kg; Sea State 3 capability) for channel surveys and underwater mapping.
Heritage and archaeology
Enercomp has been commissioned by the Maharashtra Department of Archaeology to execute a large-scale survey and documentation project for State Protected Monuments across Maharashtra — one of the most extensive heritage digitisation projects undertaken using drone technology in India.[4]
The project covers 151+ monuments across three divisions — Pune, Ratnagiri, and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar — encompassing forts, temples, wadas, samadhis, caves, tombs, and prehistoric sites.
Enercomp's scope of work for this project includes:
- DGPS (Differential GPS) Survey — to establish accurate ground control points and geo-referenced spatial frameworks
- Aerial Drone Photogrammetry — high-resolution imagery for 3D models and topographical maps of monument exteriors
- Terrestrial LiDAR Survey — laser scanning for complex geometries, interiors, and vegetation-obscured areas, generating dense point clouds
Digital deliverables produced include orthomosaic maps, DSM/DTM, contour maps, 3D textured models, point cloud data, architectural drawings (plans, elevations, and sections in DWG/CAD and physical formats at A0/A2/A3 scale), detailed archaeological reports, cadastral and land-use maps, and walkthrough videos generated from LiDAR data. All project data is hosted on a custom web-based data management dashboard developed by Enercomp, enabling remote access, 2D/3D data overlay, measurement tools, and before/after conservation monitoring.
Land records and Mojani (Maharashtra)
Enercomp has participated in a proof-of-concept (PoC) initiative with the Maharashtra Land Records Department to accelerate the resolution of pending Mojani (land survey and measurement) cases using drone technology. Mojani — meaning land surveying in Marathi — traditionally relied on chain surveying methods, which were time-intensive. The department sought to use drones to speed up the turnaround of pending measurement cases and improve accuracy of land boundary demarcation.[5]
Swamitva scheme
The company has participated in the Swamitva (Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas) project, the Government of India's centrally sponsored scheme to map inhabited land in rural areas using drones and provide property rights cards to rural households.
Training
Drone pilot and mission-planning training courses, covering real-world applications across multiple industry verticals, available through the company's online platform.
