Indi Energy receives seed fund from Mumbai Angels

Energy storage start-up, Indi Energy has raised seed fund from Mumbai Angels Network, a start-up investment platform for early-stage venture investment.

The funding will be used to improve its research and development activities and scale up its proprietary sodium-ion battery technology, said Indi Energy.

The start-up company claims to have achieved a breakthrough in sodium-ion batteries, with its energy density three to four times higher than commercialised lead-acid batteries. A patent is filed for its sodium-ion batteries by the company.

The negative electrode of the sodium-ion battery is formed from materials like cattle manure and paddy straw, which would further resolve the issue of burning rice or paddy straws and convert them into a valuable energy source.

The company intends to produce energy storage technologies such as lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and solid-state batteries. It also envisions producing high-performance battery technology for various applications.

Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Indi Energy, Akash Soni, told the media that the company’s goal is to produce low-cost, safe, and high-performance sodium-ion batteries manufactured from agricultural waste and bio waste from the earth. Further, reducing the company's dependence on scarce elements such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel.

Co-Founder and CEO, Mumbai Angels Network, Nandini Mansinghka, told the media that this funding will help Indi Energy to improve its operations and ramp up infrastructure to stimulate growth.

IIT Guwahati develops sustainable geopolymer

A research team at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, led by Prof. Anil K. Mishra from the Department of Civil Engineering, has developed an innovative solution to two major global challenges: industrial waste management and sustainable construction. Their research focuses on creating a geopolymer using industrial byproducts and waste materials, such as water treatment sludge (WTS), fly ash (FA), and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). “With the rapid pace of urbanisation and industrialisation, managing industrial waste has become a critical global issue," said IIT Guwaha..
