Forget the hype. IoT isn’t about flashy pitches — it’s about solving real problems.

 

In this episode, Gerhard Loots shares his journey from leading IoT at Telstra to building Kallipr into a startup reshaping industries. We talk practical sensor solutions, cost of ownership, and real-world deployments in rail and water.

 

The discussion ranges from India’s growing influence in tech, to the role of satellites, to how AI can transform infrastructure management. Gerhard also opens up about Kallipr’s future vision: digitising the physical world in ways that actually deliver value.

 

A straight-talking look at IoT — stripped of buzzwords, focused on outcomes.
