Climate tech startup Aurassure has raised Rs 25 crore (about $3 million) in a pre-Series A funding round led by Rainmatter, the investment arm of Zerodha, and Unicorn India Ventures. Maithan Alloys Limited also participated in the round, adding strategic backing to the young company’s growth plans.
Founded in 2022 by Akanksha Priyadarshini, Aurassure operates a climate intelligence platform that delivers real-time, hyperlocal environmental risk data to enterprises and public-sector organizations. The platform blends inputs from street-level sensors, satellite data, and AI-driven models to track key climate indicators such as air quality, heat stress, rainfall, flooding, and wind patterns.
The startup plans to use the fresh capital to expand internationally, strengthen product development, and scale hardware manufacturing. Aurassure said it will focus on regions with high climate volatility and limited access to reliable data, including Latin America, South Asia, and Africa.
Over the past year, the company has made strong progress outside India. It has set up a wholly owned subsidiary in Brazil and rolled out deployments across more than 100 cities in the country. Aurassure has also launched pilot projects in Bangladesh. In India, the startup claims to operate in over 200 cities, supported by a network of more than 2,000 environmental sensors.

Looking ahead, the startup plans to expand its sensor network, onboard more enterprise clients, and further enhance its analytics platform. Aurassure aims to deploy its solutions in 1,000 cities over the next three years, positioning itself as a key player in climate intelligence for emerging markets.
