Aurassure, a Bengaluru-headquartered climatetech startup, has raised Rs 25 crore in a pre-Series A funding round led by Rainmatter, the investment arm of Zerodha, along with Unicorn India Ventures. Maithan Alloys Limited also participated in the round.
The funding is expected to support the company’s plans to scale its climate intelligence platform and expand operations beyond India. Aurassure works with enterprises and public-sector bodies that require real-time, hyperlocal environmental data to manage climate-related risks.
Founded in 2022 by entrepreneur Akanksha Priyadarshini, Aurassure focuses on converting raw environmental data into actionable insights that help organisations respond to changing climate conditions.
Funding and Backers
The latest investment brings together financial and strategic investors with an interest in climate resilience and data-driven risk management. Rainmatter has previously backed startups working in sustainability, while Unicorn India Ventures focuses on early-stage technology-led companies.
According to the company, the capital will be deployed to strengthen regional teams, expand sensor deployments, and advance its analytics and predictive modelling capabilities. International expansion is also a key priority.
Aurassure plans to deepen its presence in markets such as Brazil while entering new regions across South Asia, Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
Platform and Technology
Aurassure has developed an integrated climate intelligence stack that combines hardware, data models, and cloud-based analytics. The platform collects environmental signals and converts them into early warnings, risk indices, and operational insights.
The startup currently operates a network of more than 2,000 street-level sensors. These sensors track parameters such as air quality, temperature stress, rainfall, wind patterns, water levels, and flood risks, with data delivered in near real time.
This information is used by enterprises and public agencies for planning, safety, and operational decision-making, particularly in regions facing rising pollution, extreme heat, flooding, and unpredictable weather.
Expansion and Operations
Over the past year, Aurassure has expanded its sensor network to more than 200 cities in India and over 100 cities in Brazil, reporting high system uptime. Early-stage projects have also begun in Bangladesh, marking the company’s entry into wider South and Southeast Asian markets.
The company has also formed partnerships with research institutions, mapping platforms, and development organisations working on climate resilience in emerging economies. These collaborations are aimed at improving data accuracy and practical applications.
In addition to software development, Aurassure plans to continue investing in hardware design and manufacturing, including improving sensor durability, calibration processes, and scalability for large deployments.
Market Context
Climate risk monitoring remains a developing sector globally, but demand for reliable, localised data is increasing as climate events become more frequent and severe. Enterprises across insurance, logistics, construction, and renewable energy are among the key users of such intelligence.
Aurassure has stated that over the next 12 months, it aims to expand deployments across India, Brazil, and select international markets, while onboarding new enterprise customers. Over a longer horizon, the company targets real-time climate monitoring across 1,000 cities in the Global South within three years.
Investors backing the round noted that while long-term climate mitigation will take time, tools that help organisations respond proactively to climate risks are becoming increasingly necessary in the present environment.
