The Opportunity
As temperatures in the Global South rise 1.5–2°C by 2050, outdoor and industrial workers face exponentially higher heat-related mortality and morbidity. Employers in developing nations lack affordable, localized tools to monitor worker heat stress in real-time, predict heat illness, and comply with emerging occupational safety regulations—creating massive liability and productivity losses.
Market Size₹850 Cr addressable market — based on 12 million outdoor workers in India alone (construction, agriculture, mining) × ₹5,000–10,000 annual SaaS spend per employer + wearable hardware + emergency response integration.
Why NowGST 18% on SaaS services; must comply with Indian Labour Code occupational safety rules (amended 2024+) and GDPR/DPDP Act for biometric data.
