Advanced precision liquid cooling startup KuhlTherm has raised $1.1 million in a seed funding round led by Arkam Ventures. The fresh capital will help the company accelerate product development, strengthen its research and development capabilities, and scale its liquid cooling solutions for high-performance computing infrastructure.
According to the company, the funding will also be used to expand its engineering and business development teams, enhance testing infrastructure, pursue industry certifications, and establish strategic partnerships.
Building Next-Generation Cooling Infrastructure for AI Workloads
Founded in 2025 by Vishant Gandhi, Kamish Kachhadia, Shailesh Bishnoi, Jasvipul Chawla, and Kishan Baravaliya, KuhlTherm develops advanced precision liquid cooling technologies designed for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI data centres.
The Ahmedabad-based startup offers a comprehensive suite of cooling solutions, including Direct-to-Chip (D2C) cooling systems, Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RDHx), immersion cooling systems, Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs), and NexusFlow OS, its proprietary software platform for cooling intelligence and infrastructure monitoring.
Addressing the Growing Demand for AI Infrastructure
As artificial intelligence workloads continue to increase the heat density of modern data centres, conventional air-cooling systems are becoming less efficient.
KuhlTherm’s liquid cooling solutions are designed to reduce cooling energy consumption while improving computing performance and sustainability. The company says its modular and retrofit-ready systems enable data centre operators to upgrade existing infrastructure without extensive redesign.
Its Direct-to-Chip cold plate technology incorporates patented mesh-based cooling architecture to efficiently dissipate heat from high-performance processors, while its modular Rear Door Heat Exchanger solution allows operators to gradually expand cooling capacity as server rack heat loads increase.
Expanding Across AI and High-Density Computing
KuhlTherm combines proprietary hardware with software-driven monitoring and India-led engineering to build intelligent cooling infrastructure for next-generation computing environments.
The startup plans to use the newly raised capital to accelerate the deployment of its solutions across AI data centres, hyperscale cloud infrastructure, and other high-density computing facilities, where efficient thermal management has become critical to performance, reliability, and sustainability.
With demand for AI infrastructure growing rapidly worldwide, KuhlTherm aims to position itself as a key player in the evolving market for advanced liquid cooling technologies.
