Snippets Climate tech startup Aurassure raises Rs 25 Cr in pre-Series A Climate tech startup Aurassure has raised Rs 25 crore (around $3 million) in a pre-Series A funding round led by Rainmatter, the investment arm of Zerodha, and Unicorn India Ventures. Maithan Alloys Limited also participated in the round. Founded in 2022 by Akanksha Priyadarshini, Aurassure operates a climate intelligence platform that provides real-time, hyperlocal environmental risk data for enterprises and public-sector users. Its platform combines data from street-level sensors, satellite inputs and AI-based models to track parameters such as air quality, heat stress, rainfall, flooding and wind patterns. The proceeds will be used to expand internationally, invest in product development, and scale its hardware manufacturing capabilities. The firm said it will focus on markets across Latin America, South Asia and Africa, where climate volatility is high and reliable environmental data is limited. Over the past year, Aurassure has set up a wholly owned subsidiary in Brazil and rolled out deployments across more than 100 cities in the country. It has also initiated pilot projects in Bangladesh. In India, the startup claims to be present across 200 cities with a network of over 2,000 sensors. According to Aurassure, revenues have grown 150% year-on-year since its last funding round in 2023, with enterprise customers across sectors such as construction, insurance, healthcare, industrial operations and infrastructure. Aurassure plans to expand its sensor network, onboard new enterprise clients and scale its climate analytics platform. The startup is targeting deployments in 1,000 cities over the next three years.
