LiDAR-based perception platform: Built for India, Powered by the Edge
The integrated platform has been engineered to withstand India’s complex outdoor conditions – including heat, dust, fog, and glare – delivering uninterrupted, on-the-ground intelligence. Key system components include:
- InnovizSMART LiDAR: Solid-state, long-range, and high-resolution, designed for extreme weather and low-light environments.
- Cron AI’s senseEDGE: Edge-native, deep-learning 3D perception engine that processes every LiDAR point cloud with precision – requiring only 8 watts and no GPU.
- Sparsh’s Vision Stack: High-performance video analytics, intelligent classification, and real-time visual redundancy.
These components create a true sensor fusion platform, blending LiDAR data, video, and AI to deliver scalable and cost-effective smart infrastructure solutions.
“This partnership marks a leap in scalable, real-time sensing for India,” said Sanjeev Sehgal, MD of Sparsh CCTV. “Together, we are building intelligent systems that perform reliably under Indian conditions and support national infrastructure goals.”
“India’s infrastructure demands fast, reliable, and frictionless intelligence,” said Tushar Chhabra, CEO of Cron AI. “With Sparsh and Innoviz, we’re making real-time 3D perception truly scalable.”
“We are proud to bring our rugged, automotive-grade LiDAR to India,” added Omer Keilaf, CEO of Innoviz Technologies. “Together, we’re enabling smarter, safer mobility and surveillance systems.”
Scalable Deployment with Local Support
Sparsh CCTV will lead local integration, manufacturing exploration, and market deployment through its network of 2,000+ partners and 120+ cities, with the capability to manufacture 500,000+ devices annually.
This partnership brings India one step closer to a future where real-time sensing, automated infrastructure intelligence, and AI-driven security are seamlessly deployed at scale – from highways and industrial perimeters to urban intersections and railway corridors.
