Nanomaterials for energy storage. Has developed ion-selective membranes that serve as critical components for electrolysers used in green hydrogen production and for redox flow batteries in long duration energy storage (LDES) systems. Existing membranes fall short in durability, efficiency or cost-effectiveness - solving these is critical for the clean energy transition. ₹25CR seed round - Ankur Capital's first deal from Fund III. The startup is Philadelphia and BLR based. The founders are material scientists. Murari has been working on this for the last six years, almost straight out of U-Penn; Nagesh spent 10 years at Thermax and was Founder in Residence at Entrepreneur First.

EV charging network with a dual approach - high-speed DC chargers for highways; along with a decentralized network of chargers in urban hubs.

Dynolt's expertise is in control systems using general-purpose microcontrollers and software, instead of traditional application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), which gives it a cost and efficiency advantage. $1.7M seed round.

Battery-swapping platform for 2-wheelers and 3-wheelers, operating in 14 cities. $8M seed round, in equity and debt (split undisclosed). Pune based. Previously raised $8M at pre-seed.

Enables truely green battery production. Converts organic waste (coconut shells etc.) into nanocarbons, which are used in energy storage devices (batteries and capacitors). This reduces our dependence on extracting raw materials from the ground, while increasing the energy density for lithium-ion hybrid batteries by 125% (e.g, a two-wheeler with a 100km range can now run 225km). Jaipur based. $1.2M seed round. Other investors in this round: Sagana.

Real innovation in sustainable packaging solutions. Seaweed is sourced from villages and converted into clear thin films (to produce bags and wrappers); coatings (to ensure food preservation in food takeout/delivery packaging); and to produce wood-free paper (used for clothes tags, cartons and bakery boxes). Supplies primarily to Europe and GCC countries. ₹20CR raised in this seed round, which also included VC Grid, 7th Gen Ventures, Spectrum Impact and LNB Group.
