New position for Mobilogix CEO Mathi Gurusamy

Mathi Gurusamy, the CEO and president of Irvine IoT startup Mobilogix Inc., has been tapped for the board of directors at Utvyakta Solutions Private Ltd., an Indian IoT startup with U.S. operations in Irvine.

Gurusamy will also serve as chairman for Utvyakta’s U.S. division.

Utvyakta’s “proven compressor monitoring solution has been rigorously field-tested and is ready for mass deployment globally,” Gurusamy said in a statement. “The company’s vision of using AI and IoT to improve energy efficiency in factories and plants is crucial from both a business and an environmental perspective, as compressors are typically large consumers of energy.”

Gurusamy led Mobilogix’s growth in delivering custom turnkey IoT services to a number of blue-chip companies and startups across five continents, company officials said.

Mobilogix, founded in 2011, was acquired in August for an undisclosed amount by fellow Irvine-based IoT company Telit. The deal intends to support Telit’s expansion into the growing market of new and existing IoT adopters, company officials said at the time.

Prior to Mobilogix, Gurusamy served as COO at Telit for five years. He currently serves on the board of directors at Irvine industrial automation tech startup Cloudvidia LLC.
