How Folium Sensing uses fibre networks to monitor infrastructure
Bridges, railway tracks, and pipelines often stretch across long distances, making them difficult to monitor. Most conventional sensors measure conditions at a single point and need a power supply at that location. Chennai-based Folium Sensing is developing a way to monitor entire stretches of infrastructure without installing powered sensors along the route.

Founded in 2024 and based at IIT Madras Research Park, the startup uses fibre-optic cables already laid for communication. According to CEO and Co-founder Sanidhya Chaturvedi, its technology can detect sound, temperature changes, and strain at points along a cable extending 100 km or more, using equipment connected at just one end.
Chaturvedi graduated with a degree in electrical engineering from IIT Madras in 2026 and leads the company with three co-founders. CTO Venkatesh Varadhan is a 2007 electrical engineering…
