India records 1.2 million fire incidents annually, leading to thousands of deaths and billions in property loss. This gap in safety inspired Kyari Innovation, a startup that recently caught the nation’s attention on Shark Tank India.
What is Kyari Innovation?
Kyari Innovation is a fire safety technology startup founded by Ritesh Khandelwal and Ankit Sahu, with the vision of creating smart fire detection devices that integrate with modern homes and offices.
Their flagship product is an IoT-based fire alarm device that:
- Detects smoke and unusual temperature changes in seconds.
- Sends real-time alerts via smartphone apps.
- Works even in smaller homes, kitchens, shops, and co-working spaces.
Kyari Innovation isn’t just selling a device—it’s selling peace of mind.
The Shark Tank India Pitch
- Ask: ₹50 lakhs for 5% equity.
- USP: India’s first smart, low-cost, IoT-enabled fire safety device.
- Vision: To make fire safety as common as buying a lock for your door.
The sharks were impressed with the clarity of problem-solving and the scalability of the product. With India moving towards smart homes and digital offices, the timing for Kyari Innovation couldn’t be better.
Why Kyari Innovation Stands Out
- Smart Technology – IoT integration ensures real-time alerts to users and authorities.
- Wide Application – Homes, schools, hospitals, warehouses, shops, and co-working spaces.
- Scalable Model – B2C retail + B2B partnerships with real estate developers and corporates.
Market Opportunity
- Fire Safety Market in India: Valued at ₹15,000 crore, growing at 8–10% annually.
- Urban Housing Growth: More gated societies and smart homes demand modern safety devices.
- Corporate Mandates: Government policies are tightening on workplace fire safety compliance, opening a huge B2B market.
Kyari Innovation is well-positioned to become a category leader in smart fire safety.
Challenges Ahead
- Educating the Indian middle-class about proactive fire safety.
- Competing with cheap, low-quality detectors already in the market.
- Building trust as a relatively new brand in a safety-critical industry.
Conclusion
By combining IoT technology, affordability, and social impact, the startup is on its way to becoming the face of fire safety in India.
For millions of households and businesses, Kyari Innovation is not just a product—it’s a promise of protection.
