Snippets Hycosys raises seed round led by MountTech Growth Fund’s Kavachh Deep-tech engineering startup Hycosys has raised over $1 million (approximately Rs 9 crore) in a seed funding round led by MountTech Growth Fund – Kavachh. The Bengaluru-based startup had earlier secured $88.4K in a pre-seed funding round from PointOne Capital in December 2024. The fresh funds will be deployed to strengthen the engineering team, access advanced testing facilities, develop a micro gas turbine (MGT), and demonstrate a working clean energy alternative to diesel-based power generators by mid-2027, Hycosys said in a press release. Co-founded in 2024 by Tapish Agarwal and Ugandhar Reddy, Hycosys is a deep-tech engineering startup building fuel-flexible, low-emission micro gas turbine systems engineered from first principles. The startup is supported by multiple government, VC, and CSR-backed programmes, with a focus on developing hydrogen-ready and clean fuel-flexible micro gas turbines for distributed clean power, mobility, and aerospace applications. As per industry reports, India currently has over 227 GW of installed diesel generator capacity, primarily catering to industrial backup and captive power requirements. Hycosys plans to diversify and integrate its MGT with microgrids, heavy commercial vehicle range extenders, and advanced propulsion units designed for integration with large fixed-wing drones and aircraft. The startup’s innovation includes a hydrogen-optimised combustor, a 3D-printed heat recovery unit, and an advanced turbine design, which are currently being tested at IIT-BHU. This approach significantly improves efficiency while making the MGT up to 30% lighter than existing systems. The startup aims to build scalable, indigenous turbine technologies aligned with India’s long-term decarbonisation and emission reduction goals of meeting 50% of total energy requirements from non-fossil sources by 2030.

Nabhdrishti Aerospace raises $3 Mn led by Accel Aerospace startup Nabhdrishti Aerospace has raised $3 million (around Rs 25 crore) in a funding round led by Accel, along with participation from IIMA Ventures and its existing investors. The proceeds will be used to boost the development and testing of its engine prototypes, as well as talent acquisition, Nabhdrishti Aerospace said in a press release. Co-founded in 2023 by Chouhan, Arjun Srivatsa, and Antanu Sadhu, Nabhdrishti Aerospace is building small gas turbines that will cater to hybrid urban air mobility, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and decentralized power generation appliances. The company claims its engine serves a dual purpose — propulsion and power. It can cater to hospitals, heavy vehicles, manufacturing segments, as well as light aircraft, helicopters, and hybrid electric flights. According to the Bengaluru-based company, it is developing cutting-edge technologies designed to run on sustainable fuels, including green hydrogen, to power everything from UAVs to next-generation air mobility platforms. Nabhdrishti Aerospace focuses on building sustainable, indigenous propulsion systems to reduce India’s reliance on imported aerospace technology. It aims to generate early revenue while expanding its team, with new hires expected across engineering, production, and customer support by the end of the year. Over the next few years, the company plans to steadily scale its workforce to support its growing product portfolio and customer base. Other notable startups in this space include Garuda Aerospace, Bellatrix Aerospace, and Agnikul.
