Company History
Founded 2015 in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India
In 2015, sibling entrepreneurs Arnav Kishore (a former national-level tennis player passionate about athletic tech) and Aarushi Kishore recognized that high-quality smartwatches from Apple and Garmin were priced far out of reach for ordinary Indian consumers (often exceeding two months of an average graduate's salary). Most available budget watches were low-quality plastic digital trackers with poor battery life. Arnav and Aarushi founded Fire-Boltt to bridge this divide, engineering stylish, feature-rich smartwatches that looked like luxury timepieces but were priced affordably. When the COVID-19 pandemic made health tracking vital, Fire-Boltt introduced SpO2 oxygen sensors and pioneered budget Bluetooth calling, allowing users to make phone calls directly from their wrists for under ₹2,000 ($25 USD). The strategy was an instant phenomenon, propelling Fire-Boltt from a startup into India's #1 smartwatch brand within three years.
Arnav Kishore is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Fire-Boltt. In 2015, Kishore founded Fire-Boltt alongside his sister Aarushi to create stylish, affordable consumer electronics. Arnav directed product design, pioneered budget Bluetooth calling smartwatches, orchestrated major celebrity endorsements with MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, and scaled Fire-Boltt into India's #1 smartwatch brand.
Aarushi Kishore is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Fire-Boltt. Aarushi oversees supply chain operations, retail distribution networks, and international expansion. Aarushi spearheaded the transition to local 'Make in India' manufacturing and led Fire-Boltt's entry into the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and European markets.
