AIoT predictive intelligence, built by people who've stood at the base of the pole.

N-Smart was founded to close the gap between what utilities can sense and what they can predict — turning grid-edge sensor data into operational intelligence that prevents outages before they happen.

OUR MISSION

Move the decision earlier

Most utility infrastructure is still managed through periodic inspections and reactive processes — but risk develops continuously. Every outage, every ignition, every failed asset was once a signal sitting in the field, unseen. N-Smart exists to catch that signal, evaluate the risk, and put it in front of the right person in time to act — turning reactive utility operations into predictive ones.

Where we work

Trusted by utility leaders working to modernize grid operations

Field trials and pilots spanning pole health monitoring, tool & equipment tracking, and temperature-based risk detection — in partnership with technology providers including Tektelic, Qualcomm, and Orange Business Services.

“The question every utility executive is asking isn’t whether to invest in grid intelligence

it’s whether they can move the decision earlier than the next incident.

That’s the entire premise of N-Smart.”

— Kiran Yeddala, CEO & Founder, N-Smart

What we believe

Principles behind the platform

Defensible over flashy

Every score traces back to the data that produced it

Fits what you run

Network-agnostic grid-edge sensors, native GIS/OMS/EAM integration

Earlier, not just faster

The goal is moving the decision point, not just the response time

Let’s talk

Bring us your grid. We'll show you the signal.
