Enlog, an AI-powered energy management and IoT solutions provider, emerged as the winner of Mercom’s Third Startup Pitch Competition for Cleantech Companies, held during the Mercom India Renewables Summit 2025, the flagship annual event where industry leaders converge to discuss the future of clean energy in India.

Enlog makes plug-and-play devices that connect to a building’s electrical system and uses artificial intelligence to automatically reduce electricity wastage. The device monitors appliances like ACs, lights, and pumps in real time, detects inefficiencies or faults to optimize their usage.

The device operates silently in the background, doesn’t require rewiring or behavior changes, and is designed for Indian infrastructure conditions.

Enlog took home a cash prize of ₹100,000 (~$1,156) and an advertising and marketing package worth ₹500,000 (~$5,780) from Mercom.

This year’s Summit continued its tradition of spotlighting innovative startups in the renewables sector, providing a platform to present their cutting-edge products and solutions to influential industry players, including potential investors, customers, and partners.
