Energy-tech startup EMO Energy has raised $6.2 million in its Series A funding round, led by Subhkam Ventures along with existing investor, Transition VC. The Bengaluru-based start-up has so far raised $7.4 million and counts Transition VC, Gruhas, as key investors.
The start-up plans to employ the raised funds to scale its two and three-wheeler energy solution to over 1 lakh vehicles over the next two years while advancing the deployment of 1 GWh of energy storage.
A reasonable amount of funds will also be directed towards boosting the start-up’s research and development (R&D) capabilities for its proprietary battery health extension software and expanding its team to meet growing operational demands.
The Start-up’s Aim
EMO Energy, a deep energy-tech startup focused founded in 2022 by Sheetanshu Tyagi and Rahul Patel, focuses on enabling EV adoption and urban decarbonisation. Its battery systems are designed for electric two- and three-wheelers, commercial vehicles, and large-scale energy storage, with applications across multiple industries.
The start-up aims to contribute to the country’s EV growth with its proprietary technology stack, ZEN, which provides ultra-fast 20-minute charging, fireproof designs, and 3000+ charging cycles, making it a benchmark in safety, efficiency, and performance.
So far, the start-up has deployed over 2,000 battery packs in the mobility segment. Currently, it is executing production-ready pilots for energy storage systems (ESS), aimed at providing peak shaving and backup power which can replace diesel generators in industrial and commercial settings. Some of the startup’s marquee clients include Kinetic Green, BigBasket, Domino’s, and Blinkit.
“Our focus is to create an integrated urban energy solution by deploying batteries and chargers in energy storage and light mobility. Over the last 12 months, EMO has forged critical high-volume partnerships across major OEMs, and with the latest infusion of capital, we are now well-equipped to scale from 2 to 2000 kWh,” Tyagi said.
He said that this funding will accelerate the start-up’s mission to reshape the future of urban India and expand its impact on sustainable solutions for the future of clean energy.
