Founded in 2014 and based in Delhi, Velmenni develops Li-Fi and Free Space Optics (FSO) systems to provide secure, high-capacity optical wireless links. The company says its all-weather, Made-in-India designs can deliver over 10 Gbps across ranges of 1–25 km and avoid radio-spectrum licensing or cable trenching. Velmenni has deployed India’s first commercial carrier-grade FSO backhaul to enable a private 5G network at a GMR thermal power plant, maintaining 99.999% availability for more than 18 months in tropical conditions. It has secured a multi-million-dollar defence contract to deploy its specialised FSO solution across Indian submarines in harbour environments, and claims over 50 live deployments and multiple PoCs across India, the SEA region, and with Tier-1 mobile operators in the US. Its product has obtained CE certification and is expected to receive FCC clearance soon. The company plans to commercialize its technologies further and scale internationally while building customized defence and enterprise solutions.
