Serial cleantech entrepreneurs Akshat Khare and Ankush Vashisht founded, QuantE Energy aims to make clean, affordable, and smart energy accessible to residential housing societies in Indian metros and beyond. The startup offers advanced solar and renewable solutions including turnkey Energy-as-a-Service for Solar, EV, and ESS, tech-driven O&M, flexible financing options, and IoT-powered energy analytics.

“The solar industry has seen rapid growth in large urban projects, but residential customers still face barriers such as high upfront costs, poor service, and low transparency,” said Akshat Khare. “We’re leveraging AI and IoT to simplify solar adoption with smart monitoring, flexible financing, and seamless servicing. Our goal is to make clean energy as accessible and reliable as any other essential service.”

QuantE has successfully piloted projects in 13 housing societies across Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi NCR, with its cloud-based platform and AI-driven diagnostics delivering encouraging results.

The recent funding will fuel QuantE’s expansion over the next 6–12 months, including enhancing digital onboarding, launching community solar pilots, deepening presence in top metros, and strengthening financing partnerships with banks, NBFCs, and CSR programs. The startup also plans to develop its proprietary solar+AI hardware/software stack for improved monitoring and optimization.

“The solar market in India is projected to grow from $25 billion in 2023 to $60 billion by 2028,” said Ujwal Sutaria, Founder and General Partner at TDV Partners. “QuantE Energy’s focus on democratizing clean energy access aligns with India’s sustainability goals, addressing real residential needs with a tech-first approach. Their deep understanding of distributed energy markets positions them strongly to capture this opportunity.”
