Bengaluru-based visual telematics startup Cautio is set to acquire Bytes, an AI-powered two-wheeler safety technology startup backed by Nikhil Kamath’s WTFund, according to two sources aware of the development.

Integrating Bytes’ technology aims to expand Cautio’s offerings to cover the entire on-road safety category across different vehicle types. Sources suggest the acquisition allows Cautio to broaden its market reach and enhance services across mobility, logistics, and insurance sectors. Present in nearly 50 cities, Cautio partners with traditional logistics firms and new-age mobility startups, counting clients like Steel House, Rinku Logistics, ZingBus, RedBus, Shoffr, Namma Yatri, and Cityflo.
