Quintrans raises $750K in pre-seed round led by Capital-A Quintrans, a deep tech engineering startup developing India-built direct-drive linear motion systems for industrial automation, robotics, and equipment manufacturing, has raised $750K in a pre-seed funding round led by Capital-A along with participation from Sumeet Kabra of RR Global, SanchiConnect, AIC-Pinnacle, existing partner IIMA Ventures, and others. The proceeds 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, Quintrans said in a press release. Co-founded in 2021 by Pranay Luniya, Kartik Kulkarni, Aniruddha Atigre, and Prasanna Kadambi, Quintrans is a deep tech engineering company developing direct-drive electromagnetic linear motion systems for industrial applications. Its technology enables frictionless, high-speed, and ultra-precise motion for robotics, warehouse automation, and manufacturing environments. As per market research, India manufactured and sold roughly 6.8 million actuators in FY 2022, a figure expected to cross 10–11 million units by FY 2026, driven by automotive, industrial automation, HVAC, and marine applications. According to the Pune-based startup, its design and manufacturing model unlocks cost efficiency, tailored deployments, and assured service. They take an engineering-first approach, developing the hardware and control electronics in-house so customers get a complete, integrated solution. Quintrans is part of MaXcel, the hardware and industrial technology accelerator run by Capital-A and SanchiConnect, supporting startups building engineering-led manufacturing solutions.

Meine Electric, a deeptech energy storage startup, has raised $750,000 (around Rs 6.7 crore) in a pre-seed funding round led by Antler, Rebalance and Venture Catalysts. The round also saw participation from gradCapital, AIC-AU Incubation Foundation, and a group of angel investors. The funding will be used to move the company from lab-scale prototypes to pilot-ready iron-air battery systems and to strengthen its research and engineering capabilities. Founded in 2023 by Priyansh Mohan and Stuti Kakkar, Meine Electric is building iron-air long-duration energy storage (LDES) systems, positioning itself as the first company in APAC and among the few globally working on this technology. The startup is focused on batteries designed for 16–24 hours of storage, aimed at supporting round-the-clock renewable energy usage. Iron-air batteries use abundant materials such as iron, air and water and operate through a reversible rusting process. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which are typically viable for short-duration storage, iron-air systems are designed for daily cycling and long-duration use, making them suitable for solar-heavy grids. Meine Electric claims its technology is capable of operating at a lower cost of storage compared to existing battery solutions and is optimised for faster charge and discharge to match solar generation cycles. The firm operates from a 5,000 sq ft facility in Chennai, which is being set up for pilot production. It has secured four granted patents and seven international patent filings related to its technology. Going forward, Meine Electric plans to build grid-connected prototypes, followed by larger pilot deployments, with a target to launch containerised iron-air battery systems by 2027. The startup is also engaging with power producers and commercial and industrial customers for pilot projects.
