Bengaluru-based Virtual Forest Private Limited, founded in November 2019, operates as a designer and manufacturer of custom motor control electronics. The company was co-founded by Omer Basith, who is the current CEO, along with Ravi Sajjan, Gajannan Palkar, and Sandeep Kejriwal. Basith's background as a serial entrepreneur and his previous experience in the electronics domain, specifically with a company manufacturing film capacitors, led to the formation of Virtual Forest. The idea crystallized after working with his co-founders on a government project which, despite not materializing, revealed their potential in electronics system design and manufacturing.
Virtual Forest provides an integrated platform that encompasses hardware and software design, manufacturing of custom circuit boards, and comprehensive technical and service support throughout the product lifecycle. The firm's business model is centered on helping Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) localize their supply chains and replace imported electronic components with made-in-India products. It serves clients in the home appliance and electric mobility sectors, offering specialized controllers for products like inverter air conditioners, BLDC ceiling fans, washing machines, solar pumps, and electric vehicles. The company generates revenue by developing and manufacturing these motor controllers for its clients.
The company's core focus is on creating energy-efficient technologies that contribute to decarbonization and support India's goal of self-reliance. Its product development follows structured hardware and software processes, emphasizing agile methodologies and rigorous testing to ensure reliability. A significant area of development is in electric mobility, where the company is creating motor controllers for two and three-wheeled EVs, partly in collaboration with Israeli partner Redler Technologies. One of its key projects includes developing ASIL-Certified Micro EV Motor Controllers for light electric vehicles. Since its inception, Virtual Forest has raised $668K through two funding rounds and also secured a $4M grant.
