About the company
Samsara takes its name from a Sanskrit concept that describes the continuous cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The term originates in ancient Indian philosophy and conveys the idea of cyclic change or wandering through existence. It appears in early Upanishadic texts and receives detailed treatment in Buddhism, Jainism, and various Hindu traditions. The doctrine is closely linked to karma theory. Liberation from this cycle is known by several names including Moksha, Nirvana, Mukti, and Kaivalya. The company applies this philosophical framework to modern industrial operations. Samsara builds connected operations platforms that help organizations manage physical assets and workflows. The technology combines hardware sensors with cloud software to provide real-time visibility. Customers use the platform for fleet management, equipment monitoring, and workplace safety.
