Get ready for a bright new energy era! Indian cleantech startup QuantE Energy Tech just bagged a hot $500,000 seed funding from Trillion Dollar Venture (TDV) Partners and superstar angel investors like Raghunandan G (Zolve, TaxiForSure), Amit Lakhotia (Park+), Ankit Gupta (Brookfields), and Hari Krishnan Nair (Great Learning). Founded in 2024, QuantE is on fire to change India's solar scene by focusing on homes and housing societies — a market still mostly untouched in the country’s energy shift. QuantE uses powerful AI and IoT technologies combined with smart financing to fight big challenges. These include high upfront costs, poor servicing, and low awareness among residential users. Akshat Khare, the cofounder, says, “This investment accelerates our mission to bring clean energy to markets that have been largely overlooked.” He adds, “The solar industry has grown rapidly in large urban projects, but there’s still a huge gap in serving the residential segment and societies. These customers face real barriers, high upfront costs, and poor service and quality. We’re using technology to remove these barriers.” Right now, the company offers cool solutions like energy profiling, smart monitoring, predictive maintenance, and community solar models — plus EV charging and energy storage options. They've already tested pilots in 13 residential societies across Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi-NCR, with their cloud platform showing fantastic success. With the fresh funds, QuantE plans to grow its digital onboarding, dive deeper into major cities, launch community solar pilots, and boost partnerships with banks, NBFCs, and CSR programs. They will also build their own solar+AI hardware and software for even better energy monitoring and optimization. Ujwal Sutaria, TDV Partners’ founder, shares his excitement: “The solar market is expected to reach $60 billion by 2028, from $25 billion in 2023, highlighting the massive opportunity. QuantE’s tech-first approach and focus on democratising access to clean energy position them well to capture this market.” India’s solar future just got a shining boost, thanks to smart tech and visionary investors teaming up with QuantE!
