Gurugram-based engineer Bharath Rnkawat has developed a smart energy-saving device that is helping homes and businesses reduce electricity wastage by up to 23 percent. His startup, Enlog, has already helped over 23000 users save more than 4800 MWh of electricity, resulting in significant financial savings and reduced carbon emissions.
Enlog addresses a growing problem. Studies show that 20 to 30 percent of power in homes is lost due to inefficiency and outdated systems. In commercial buildings and industries, the numbers are even higher. Bharath noticed that many businesses faced sudden increases in electricity bills due to energy leaks and lack of proper monitoring.
“Up to 30 percent of the electricity used by large businesses is wasted. This is not due to negligence but rather a lack of practical monitoring tools that track or optimise consumption,” Bharath says.
His solution is a patented device that monitors electricity usage in real time, detects overuse, and prevents silent current leakages. The system makes automatic adjustments to ensure electricity is only used when needed. This has helped users cut costs and improve energy efficiency without manual intervention.
The compact device is easy to install behind switchboards or distribution boards. It captures and processes 25000 data points every second, including voltage, current, and power factor. It also personalises energy savings based on user-specific consumption patterns.
Businesses like hotels and co-living spaces have seen major savings. Delhi-based entrepreneur Saurabh Nayak shares, “With Enlog’s metering devices installed, we saw a drastic reduction in energy wastage. These devices allowed for real-time monitoring, helped identify areas of leakage, and even flagged unnecessary consumption during off-peak hours.”
Enlog offers its devices starting at Rs 2000 for homes. For larger setups, the cost ranges from Rs 20000 to Rs 15 lakh, with a monthly subscription of Rs 25 for ongoing services. In the last financial year, Enlog recorded Rs 6 crore in revenue and now aims for Rs 25 crore.
Bharath plans to expand into the household market and collaborate with solar companies to improve renewable energy use. “By creatively addressing electricity inefficiency on a larger scale now, we’re showing how technology can drive meaningful change — for both society and the planet,” he says.
