New Delhi, March 11 (IANS) Smart Metering company Kimbal Technologies on Monday announced that it has secured $5 million in growth capital in its first-ever funding round to scale up existing operations and new product development.
The funding round was led by investment advisory firm Niveshaay and a host of marquee investors, including Ayush Mittal of Mittal Analytics Pvt. Ltd. and Sandeep Kapadia, among others.
“We are growing at a solid pace, and I am strategically focused on ensuring that our growth is not only steep but also steady and sturdy,” Ayush Sinhal, CEO of Kimbal Technologies, said in a statement.
Emphasising over the potential of the industry and the organisation, the investors said that India’s rapid economic expansion and increased acceptance of renewables globally necessitates investments in the power sector to keep the juggernaut rolling.
