Description

Tanuj Mohan is no stranger to the world of entrepreneurship. From growing up in India to becoming a successful, repeated founder, his journey is a testament to innovation, perseverance, and a deep understanding of technology.


Tanuj’s latest company is AirEye, which has attracted funding from top-tier investors like Canaan, USVP, toDay Ventures, and Steve Krausz.


In this episode, you will learn:



  • Tanuj’s career began in engineering. Driven by curiosity and big-picture thinking, he moved away from corporate roles into entrepreneurship.

  • His first venture in network management set the foundation for acquisitions by industry giants like Cisco and Siemens.

  • Enlighted, Tanuj’s smart building solutions, addressed energy inefficiency by integrating sensors into light fixtures, enabling local optimization.

  • Enlighted’s pivot to retrofit solutions and data-driven SaaS applications helped overcome market barriers in the construction industry.

  • Fundraising was challenging due to a lack of credibility in the energy sector, but Tanuj eventually raised over $100M by aligning with investors who believed in his vision.

  • Siemens’ acquisition of Enlighted brought global scale to smart building technology, reinforcing the long-term viability of the system.

  • Tanuj’s current role at AirEye continues his mission of solving critical problems, which, this time, focuses on securing Wi-Fi-enabled devices from remote hackers.
