PUNE: A Kashmir-based deep-tech start-up is looking to bring futuristic, wire-free power solutions to Pune, positioning the city as a potential early adopter of its laser-based energy transmission technology. Prime Movr, which has developed a system to convert laser beams into usable electrical power, is planning pilot deployments in the city in the coming months, targeting industrial clusters, surveillance networks and IoT-driven infrastructure.

As global technology players race to crack long-distance wireless power transmission , Prime Movr is carving out a niche by focusing on practical, near-term applications rather than large-scale infrastructure. The company’s laser power beaming system enables focused energy transfer over distance, eliminating the need for physical wiring in specific use cases.

“This technology holds promise for applications such as powering remote sensors and outdoor surveillance cameras, where wired connectivity or frequent battery replacement is not feasible,” said co-founder Parvez Rishi.

Industry observers say Pune’s strong ecosystem of manufacturing, engineering talent and ongoing smart city initiatives makes it a suitable testbed for such emerging technologies. Early deployments could include factory monitoring systems, perimeter surveillance setups and connected infrastructure in large campuses.
