Quintrans, a deep tech engineering startup developing direct-drive linear motion systems for industrial automation, robotics and equipment manufacturing, has raised $750,000 in a pre-seed funding round led by Capital-A.
The round also saw participation from Sumeet Kabra of RR Global, SanchiConnect, AIC-Pinnacle and other strategic partners, alongside strong ecosystem support from existing partner IIMA Ventures.
The funds raised will be used to establish an in-house manufacturing and advanced testing facility in Pune, accelerate R&D across electromagnetic actuation, and build the core engineering and operations team required for commercial rollout.
Founded in 2021 by Pranay Luniya, Kartik Kulkarni, Aniruddha Atigre, and Prasanna Kadambi, Quintrans is developing advanced electromagnetic and electromechanical linear motion components that enable frictionless movement, high-speed performance and micron-level precision.
Quintrans design and manufacturing model unlocks cost efficiency, tailored deployments and assured service. It takes an engineering-first approach, developing the hardware and control electronics in-house so customers get a complete, integrated solution.
Quintrans targets producing nearly half a million actuators annually by 2030.
Quintrans is part of MaXcel, the hardware and industrial technology accelerator run by Capital-A and SanchiConnect.
Pranay Luniya, Founder & CEO, Quintrans, said, “At Quintrans, our aim is simple: to build dependable linear motion systems here in India that industries can trust. We are taking an engineering-first approach, developing the hardware and control electronics in-house so customers get a complete, integrated solution. With this funding, we can advance our development work, set up our manufacturing lines, and take the next steps towards commercial readiness. We’re grateful to Capital-A for backing a deeptech problem that requires patience and conviction.”
Ankit Kedia, Founder and Lead Investor, Capital-A, said, “Industries across the world depend on reliable motion systems, yet this space has seen limited innovation from emerging markets. Quintrans is one of the first young teams in India to approach this problem with both technical depth and practical understanding. Their early progress shows clear potential for commercial use, and we believe they are well-positioned to become a credible supplier in a segment historically dominated by global players.”
