10 · About us

Founded in 2014, pioneers of bus safety.

Crescendo Innovative Solutions LLP was founded by Sachin Nair and Huzefa Kathawala, two MBA graduates who set out to make the school bus ride a safe one. We are the exclusive Maharashtra partner of Consat Orahi, the joint venture formed in 2022 by Orahi and Consat Engineering AB of Sweden.

How it began

As MBA students at the MET Institute of Management, Sachin and Huzefa chose school-bus safety as their project study. It was a time when India was still shaken by the Nirbhaya case in Delhi in December 2012, and news kept coming in of children being harmed on the very buses meant to take them home.

The project did not stay on paper. The two built a working system: a live CCTV camera inside the bus, GPS tracking of every trip, and an ID card each child taps at the bus door, so that parents get a message the moment their child boards. In 2014 a school in Matunga, Mumbai, became one of the first to put it on its buses, and the platform was launched.

The story made the front page of Mumbai Mirror on 8 November 2014, which described the founders simply as Two MBA post-grads (Mumbai Mirror, Arita Sarkar).

The Swedish connection

Our technology partner Consat Orahi joins Indian digital innovation with Swedish engineering. Consat is a family-owned Swedish engineering house with 40 years of experience, ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified, and Consat Orahi is a member of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in India.

Twelve years on

In the twelve years since 2014, that first college idea has grown into deep, tested expertise in GPS, live video, cloud software and field service. Alongside school safety, the same team has delivered special projects for government bodies in India and abroad, always with the same aim: technology that keeps people safe and services running.

Today Crescendo is an ISO 9001 · ISO 27001 · CMMI Level 3 · DPIIT Startup India Recognized · MSME · Make in India company.
