Sedemac Mechatronics began as a college project in the labs of IIT Bombay. In 2004, Manish Sharma, along with seniors Pushkaraj Panse and Amit Dixit, began working with professor Shashikanth Suryanarayanan on some industry projects. One project was a sensor-based steering system for Sona Koyo. Another was fuel injection controls for TVS Motors. While working on these, the three realised they shared a bigger dream: building a homegrown company to develop electronic automation for two- and three-wheelers. In 2007, they founded Sedemac Mechatronics.
