Sanjit Biswas, co-founder and CEO of Samsara, discussed the company’s second-quarter fiscal 2027 results during a September 3, 2026 earnings call. He said the company is seeing strong demand from large enterprises with complex physical operations seeking digital transformation, and he attributed increased customer interest in fuel data to rising fuel prices, which he noted were up nearly 40% year-over-year in certain months. Biswas also addressed supply chain dynamics, stating that Samsara plans to pre-buy inventory to build a buffer against component and shipping cost increases, while expressing confidence in the company’s ability to manage gross margin impacts over time through levers such as higher revenue per device and product mix shifts. In a July 2026 podcast interview, Biswas described Samsara’s operations as a large-scale AI deployment in the physical world, citing that the system drives 99% of U.S. roads daily and collects 25 trillion data points annually. He said the company’s data is distinct from online sources, noting that information about construction sites or road conditions cannot be crawled from the internet, and he highlighted a network effect where insights from one customer can benefit others. Biswas also recounted a field visit with a large energy utility, where the utility stated it plans to triple grid capacity over the next five years compared to what was built over the previous 125 years, and he said Samsara helped prevent approximately 380,000 car crashes in the last year.

Notable quotes

“I was just in the field last week with a large energy utility. And uh they shared with me a really interesting stat. They said over the last 125 years we built a certain amount of grid capacity. In the next 5 years, we're going to triple that.”

“These are not the tokens you're going to find online. Like you can't crawl Reddit and find out about what happened on a construction site. The Samsara system in a given day were driving 99% of the US roads usually multiple times a day.”

“This year in 2026, the biggest theme that I heard was the rising cost of fuel. The price at the pump has gone up anywhere from 30 to 40% this year because of the war in the Middle East. And that's affecting guys in a big way. Some of you have fuel budgets that are measured in the tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars.

“We've become a fairly large company. We're the largest in our sector, but we're still only maybe 15% of the market, so we could see just getting much bigger there.”

“If you just stop 100 commercial vehicles on the road and crack them open, you'll see only about 50% of them have GPS tracking that's connected to the cloud. GPS tracking's been around since the 1990s, right? Like really, really long time. And so the idea that you've optimized your operation, if you don't have GPS trackers, how would you even start, right? So that means that people are just making phone calls to figur”
