WattGuru

What WattGuru does

WattGuru is the IT Solutions vertical of Idam Infrastructure Advisory Pvt. Ltd., an India-based firm that develops and deploys technology products targeting the energy sector, with selective forays into adjacent utilities such as municipal water distribution. The company builds web-based, mobile, IoT, and blockchain-enabled platforms tailored to Indian utilities, state nodal agencies, DISCOMs, and government energy departments. Its core product portfolio includes WATTGURUEMS (IoT-based Energy Monitoring System), WATTGURUTMS (Intelligent Transformer Monitoring Solution), SolaRoof (rooftop solar transaction portal), ReComply (RPO compliance monitoring), SCED Monitoring Portal, WaterGenX (water distribution management), and a suite of knowledge portals for bodies such as BEE, MNRE, and IREEED. Technology is built on web stacks (LAMP/LEMP, ASP.NET, MS Power Platform) with IoT integrations and a strategic partnership with Power Transition Ltd. for P2P energy trading on Hedera Hashgraph DLT.

The business operates an enterprise B2B model with revenue generated across IT consulting, energy modelling support (via PLEXOS partnership with Energy Exemplar), IoT and blockchain subscriptions, transaction support solutions, real-time dashboards, and commercial tools. Customer concentration is overwhelmingly governmental and multilateral: implementation programs have been co-funded with USAID PACE-D, ADB Solar Rooftop Investment Program, and World Bank-SBI SUPRABHA, with named deployments for RRECL (Rajasthan), NREDCAP and APDISCOMs (Andhra Pradesh), Electricity Department (Puducherry), CREST (Chandigarh), and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency. Scale signals include 100,000+ rooftop solar applications processed, 450MW+ of solar PV capacity transacted, and 270,000+ water consumers served. Distribution relies on direct enterprise sales, the parent Idam Infra network, and government/multilateral program partnerships, with five offices across Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Pune. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, reflecting a contact-based enterprise sales motion.

Operationally, WattGuru operates without disclosed external funding and is supported through the parent company; ISO 9001:2015 certified by TUV Rheinland for Management Consulting, IT Services, and Energy Management Services. Leadership combines deep power-sector regulatory expertise (founder Balawant Joshi, 28+ years; founding director Ajit Pandit, 26+ years) with energy-IT execution (GM-IT Harshad Juvekar, 20+ years in ETRM). The strategic posture emphasizes compliance digitization, IoT-led asset monitoring, and emerging blockchain-based energy trading, positioning the company as a niche government-focused energy-IT systems integrator rather than a broad-market software vendor.
