Deeptech startup Planys Technologies has raised $4 million in its ongoing pre-Series A round. The fresh investment tranche has come after a gap of more than two years for the Chennai-based firm. The board at Planys Technologies has passed a board resolution to issue 8,471 CCPS at an issue price of Rs 41,600 each to raise Rs 35.23 crore, its regulatory filing accessed from the Registrar of Companies shows. Himalaya Finance, Golden Birch Investments, Krishna Defence, Impact India Investments, SiriusOne Capital, and several individuals including Ashish Ramesh Kacholia, Shalini Chhabra, and Puneet Gupta participated during the new investment tranche. The company also approved its MSOP pool of 1,445 equity shares amounting to Rs 6 crore (as per the valuation report) in February, a separate filing shows. Established in 2015 by Tanuj Jhunjhunwala and Rakesh Sirikonda, Planys does underwater inspection by offering secure and adaptable solutions through marine robotics and analytics systems. The company has been working on over 350 projects with its 10 products across 5 countries. It also has more than 30 patents under its belt. Planys Technologies has raised around $8 million to date including a $1.6 million round led by Keiretsu Forum, LetsVenture in November 2021. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredibe, the company has been valued at around Rs 135 crore (post-money) in the new tranche. Unlike other startups, Planys hasn’t been growing at a rapid clip and this could be evident from its flat scale which grew to Rs 8.63 crore in FY23 as compared to Rs 7.41 crore in FY22. Moreover, the firm’s losses also spiked 3.2X to Rs 3.51 crore in the same period.

Semiconductor startup C2i Semiconductors raises $15 Mn led by Peak XV Semiconductor startup C2i Semiconductors has secured $15 million in a funding round led by Peak XV Partners, with participation from Yali Deeptech and TDK Ventures. The Bengaluru-based startup had previously raised $4 million from deeptech venture fund Yali Capital in November 2024. The proceeds will be used to support global expansion, set up a US office to be closer to customers and key decision-makers, and later build an applications and systems engineering team in Taiwan, the company said in a press release. Co-founded in June 2024 by Ram Anant, Vikram Gakhar, Preetam Tadeparthy, Dattatreya Suryanarayana, Harsha S B, and Muthusubramanian N V, C2i Semiconductors is developing power management solutions for AI data centres and cloud infrastructure. The company is targeting system-level innovations that rethink how power flows from the grid to the processor core. C2i plans to move quickly from design to silicon. Its first product is scheduled for tapeout in April, followed by a second product in July. One chip will be manufactured at Tower Semiconductor in Israel, while the other will be fabricated at GlobalFoundries, either in Singapore or Dallas. According to market research, AI infrastructure capex is expected to reach $500–600 billion over the next 12–18 months and could grow to $1 trillion by 2030. C2i claims its system-level architecture can recover 8–10% efficiency, improve GPU performance by about 3%, and significantly extend server lifetimes. A 10% efficiency gain can translate into nearly 1 kW saved per server tray, adding up to hundreds of kilowatts across large deployments, directly improving return on investment for operators. The company said it is already in discussions with three to four enterprise server customers to define components for their next-generation platforms and is targeting global enterprise players.
