Venture Catalysts backs IoT and AI-enabled smart helmet maker Altor

India’s first, largest and pioneering integrated incubator and accelerator platform Venture Catalysts recently invested in Altor, a startup that builds IoT and AI-enabled smart helmets. Currently catering to the B2B segment, Altor aims to make the life of two-wheeler riders safe, thereby enabling increased business efficiency and better fleet management.

Altor utilizes a combination of hardware and software to develop a complete solution, right from providing insightful in-vehicle data to companies for better fleet management, to providing accident protection which reduces life losses on the roads, to ultimately making the protective head-gear extremely endearing to its users, so that business efficiency is increased significantly, that too in a much safer way. The company was founded by four young entrepreneurs coming from an engineering background, namely Shamik Guha, Sayan Tapadar, Muhammad Bilal Shakil and Anirban Datta Gupta.
