Founded in 2017 by Sandeep Shah and Kuldeep Saxena, Optimized Electrotech has rapidly ascended as one of India’s leading defense and surveillance technology companies.
Headquartered in Ahmedabad with an R&D facility in Bengaluru, the company combines indigenous design, cutting-edge AI, and electro-optic innovation to create surveillance solutions for critical defense and security applications.
In just a few years, Optimized Electrotech has built a reputation for providing high-precision, AI-driven surveillance systems designed to withstand a wide range of environmental challenges—from fog and rain to zero-light conditions.
Solving Complex Surveillance Challenges
Optimized Electrotech’s core challenge is developing surveillance technology that functions effectively in adverse conditions and can detect, track, and neutralize threats autonomously.
The company’s platforms offer solutions that are particularly valuable to government agencies, defense services, paramilitary forces, and large corporations tasked with protecting borders, airports, critical infrastructure, and public spaces.
Their products provide a level of automation and accuracy that minimizes human intervention, thus enhancing efficiency while reducing operational risk.
For instance, the flagship product InfiVISION is an advanced electro-optic surveillance system designed for long-range imaging in low-light environments.
With its near-infrared detection capabilities, it enables day-and-night protection and identifies unauthorized people or vehicles with remarkable accuracy.
Similarly, Mist Vision and Clear Vision tackle the challenges posed by varying weather, offering robust surveillance capabilities in smoke, fog, and heavy rain, thus ensuring clear images and reliable data around the clock.
Expanding AI-Driven Surveillance Capabilities
At the heart of Optimized Electrotech’s solutions lies AI-powered intelligence, which enables real-time data processing and actionable insights for security operators.
Their AI-enabled facial recognition systems and anti-drone platforms bring an added layer of security, allowing for instant identification of intruders and even small, unauthorized UAVs.
This capability has been a game-changer for high-security facilities, helping streamline threat detection and response times.
Beyond border security and anti-drone measures, Optimized Electrotech also focuses on multi-spectral surveillance, integrating shortwave and medium-wave infrared (SWIR and MWIR) capabilities in products like Noct Vision and Multi-Spectral Ultra, which deliver enhanced visibility and accuracy for long-range imaging.
This technology is particularly effective in coastal, mountainous, or desert terrains, where weather conditions and low visibility can hinder traditional surveillance.
Journey of Innovation and Recognition
Since its founding, Optimized Electrotech has achieved numerous milestones.
Early collaborations with the Government of Gujarat and funding from GVFL propelled the company’s R&D efforts, leading to a defense industrial license in 2020.
This license marked a turning point, enabling them to export their high-grade surveillance systems and strengthening their presence in the defense market.
With over 30 patents and numerous awards from India’s Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Home Affairs, the company has cemented itself as a national security asset and a trusted partner to both public and private sectors.
In recent years, Optimized Electrotech has expanded its product lineup to serve additional sectors like public transportation, railways, and critical infrastructure.
Their RelEye platform, for instance, is being used by Indian Railways to enhance security at busy stations and to monitor crowds in real time.
This success with civilian applications underscores the adaptability of their technology, which is now used to monitor large crowds, enhance airport security, and even improve public safety on buses and trains.
Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, Optimized Electrotech aims to position itself as a global leader in imaging surveillance across land, sea, air, and space by 2030.
With this ambitious goal, the company is committed to continual advancements in AI-driven, multi-spectral, and autonomous surveillance systems.
This forward-looking approach aligns with their mission to provide actionable, real-time insights and high-accuracy surveillance tools that adapt to diverse environmental and operational demands.
As the company scales, Optimized Electrotech is set to play a pivotal role in strengthening India’s defense infrastructure while also serving international markets, solidifying its impact on global surveillance technology.
Their journey exemplifies the potential of Indian innovation in solving some of the world’s most complex security challenges, harnessing technology to provide smarter, safer, and more autonomous solutions.
