QuantE Energy Tech, a cleantech startup focused on distributed solar and renewable energy solutions in the residential sector, has raised $500,000 in a seed funding round led by Trillion Dollar Venture (TDV) Partners, an early-stage VC.
The round also saw participation from marquee angel investors, including Raghunandan G (Founder Zolve and TaxiForSure), Amit Lakhotia (Founder Park+), Ankit Gupta (President Brookfields and ex-CEO OYO) and Hari Krishnan Nair (co-founder Great Learning).
It has also raised an undisclosed amount in debt and related instruments.
The funds raised will support its ambitious growth plans over the next 6-12 months, including expanding digital onboarding and going deeper in the top metro cities, launching community solar pilots, and strengthening financing partnerships with banks, NBFCs, and CSR programs. The company will also focus on building its proprietary solar+AI hardware/software stack for enhanced monitoring and optimization.
Founded in 2024 by Akshat Khare and Ankush Vashisht, QuantE Energy Tech is a Noida-based cleantech company delivering advanced solar and clean energy solutions to residential households and communities across India.
Its offerings include turnkey Energy as a Service solutions for Solar/EV/ESS, Tech-based O&M, flexible financing and IoT-powered energy analytics.
QuantE has already deployed successful pilot projects for 13 societies across Mumbai, Pune & Delhi NCR with its cloud-based platform and AI-driven diagnostics showing promising early results.
Akshat Khare, Co-founder QuantE Energy Tech, said, “This investment accelerates our mission to bring clean energy to markets that have been largely overlooked. 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 and make solar adoption easier—through AI/IoT-driven planning, smart monitoring, and flexible financing models that eliminate upfront costs, complex processes, and make servicing absolutely seamless for residentials. Our goal is to make clean energy as accessible and reliable as any other essential service and bring transparency in the system.”
Ujwal Sutaria, Founder and General Partner at TDV Partners, said, “The solar market is expected to reach $60 billion by 2028, from $25 billion in 2023, highlighting the massive opportunity in this sector. QuantE’s focus on democratizing clean energy access aligns perfectly with India’s sustainability goals while addressing a genuine market need. The team’s deep understanding of distributed energy markets and their tech-first approach positions them well to capture this significant opportunity.”
