About

Founded in 2023 and based in Karnataka, India, Covert Eye Technologies Private Limited, doing business as Cautio, operates as a provider of safety driving systems and an artificial intelligence-powered dashcam for safety and security. The company was founded by Ankit Acharya and Pranjal Nadhani. In August 2025, Cautio raised USD 1. 8 million in seed funding from 8i Ventures, AU Small Finance Bank, and Venture Catalysts.


The round was part of a larger USD 3 million seed funding. Cautio develops video telematics systems to improve fleet safety and security. The firm’s product includes an artificial intelligence-powered dual-lens dashcam that provides live streaming, driver alerts, and footage recording. The dashcam also incorporates a driver monitoring system (DMS) to detect driver distraction or fatigue.


Additional features include advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to receive alerts for road safety. Users can access live footage, historical recordings, and route information through its dashboard. The company plans to use the funding from August 2025 to expand its R&D, enhance its technology, strengthen installation and service support, scale deployment across India’s fleet operators, and grow its team.
