Leveraging the just-concluded historic India-UK trade deal, Zerowatt Energy, incubated by the IIT Madras Incubation Cell, is expanding operations into the UK, backed by an investment of ₹116 crore (£10 million).
AI-driven tech
Nurtured by the Kerala Startup Mission, Zerowatt has developed revolutionary IoT and AI-driven technology designed to unlock the full potential of energy efficiency, significantly reducing energy costs and carbon footprints in industrial facilities.
Zerowatt’s cutting-edge energy intelligence platform continuously analyses live sensor data across every part of an industrial facility—from transformers and electrical panels to pumps, motors, furnaces, and other equipment.
“Energy intelligence is crucial for creating cost-effective and sustainable businesses. Our platform provides immediate, actionable insights to operators, guiding them in real-time on eliminating energy wastage. Zerowatt acts as a digital brain for the entire industrial facility,” said Ansha Naji, Founder & CEO of Zerowatt.
Climate Change
“The world is moving towards net-zero in response to climate change, but key energy transition technologies will take decades to become commercially viable at scale. Energy efficiency, however, remains the real low-hanging fruit available today for immediate and impactful action. Zerowatt’s platform is already transforming hundreds of industrial sites in India, and with this new global base, we’re excited to amplify our impact worldwide,” he added.
Zerowatt Energy is a startup focused on industrial energy efficiency through its AI-powered Energy Intelligence platform. Founded by veterans from NTPC, Zerowatt uses real-time data analytics and proprietary AI algorithms to identify and reduce energy wastage in industrial settings, enabling factories to optimise electricity consumption, prevent equipment breakdowns, and cut carbon emissions.
