In a boost to India’s growing climate-tech sector, Gurugram-based Stride Green has raised $3.5 million in a seed funding round led by Micelio Technology Fund and Incubate Fund Asia, with participation from several strategic investors.

Co-founded by Ishpreet Gandhi and Vivek Jain, Stride Green is on a mission to accelerate India’s clean energy transition by solving a critical problem — how to finance and manage the growing ecosystem of cleantech assets efficiently and intelligently.

The fresh capital will be used to scale the team, enhance the tech stack, and fuel geographical and vertical expansion, with a firm focus on sectors such as electric mobility, battery storage, and renewable energy — all pillars of India’s decarbonization agenda.

“India is at the cusp of a major clean energy transformation, but sustainable businesses often struggle with access to intelligent financing and lifecycle management,” said co-founder Ishpreet Gandhi. “Stride Green is here to change that.”

At its core, Stride Green offers asset financing and lifecycle management solutions, purpose-built for sustainable infrastructure and cleantech players. Its proprietary tech platform delivers real-time analytics, predictive alerts, and performance insights, helping companies not only deploy but also operate assets more efficiently and for longer durations.

Currently, the platform manages over 3,000 cleantech assets, working closely with OEMs and logistics firms to ensure these assets are well-financed, monitored, and optimized throughout their lifecycle.

By offering leasing and financing options tailored to green businesses, Stride Green is lowering barriers to entry and enabling faster adoption of clean technologies across India.

With this seed round secured, the company is now eyeing strategic expansion — both across India’s clean energy hotspots and into adjacent sectors, reinforcing its ambition to become a backbone for the country’s climate-tech ecosystem.
