SANTOSH VERMA — CEO
Santosh Verma is an engineer-turned-entrepreneur with over 12 years of experience developing embedded systems, IoT, and robotics products from the ground up. He holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Agartala. After college, he founded Go Web, a daring startup aimed at empowering local shop owners by bringing them online. Although Go Web didn’t scale as hoped due to product–market fit issues, it laid the foundation for future success. In his next venture, IoTronix, Santosh pioneered cloud-less smart switching technology, introducing one of the most innovative Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) models that transformed smart hotel and smart home automation in India and abroad. Later, Santosh joined Unbox Robotics, where he contributed to building advanced robotics solutions for warehouse automation, helping scale systems that are now redefining logistics efficiency. Currently, Santosh is leading Proxgy’s flagship product – the Smart Safety Helmet – a groundbreaking innovation at the intersection of IoT, hardware, and AI. Since joining in 2024, he has been instrumental in scaling the product from concept to market, earning recognition as the “hero product” of Proxgy. His rapid growth at Proxgy saw him promoted to Lead Smart Hat. Beyond building products, Santosh is passionate about mentoring young entrepreneurs and students.
