This funding round comprised both primary and secondary investments and attracted participation from new and existing investors, including MUFG Bank, Panasonic, Ecosystem Integrity Fund, Blume Ventures, and British International Investment.
Elluminate Capital acted as the sole financial advisor for the transaction. The funding will aid Battery Smart in its next phase of expansion, focusing on scaling its battery-as-a-service offering to additional cities throughout India.
