Triolt Energy Secures Rs. 71 Lakh in Funding to Accelerate Innovation in Lithium-Ion Batteries
Triolt Energy Pvt Ltd, a cutting-edge energy storage solutions startup incubated at IIT Madras, has successfully secured Rs. 71 Lakh in funding led by Campus Angels Network. This funding round comes on the heels of a previous Rs. 1.29 Crore investment from Little Angels Network and SIDBI, signaling growing investor confidence in Triolt Energy’s innovative approach to the lithium-ion battery sector. The company, founded by IIT Madras and IISc Bangalore alumni, is focused on developing next-generation lithium-ion cells with improved safety, performance, and cost-efficiency, particularly for electric vehicles (EVs) and other critical applications.
Triolt Energy’s Vision: Advancing Lithium-Ion Battery Technology
Founded by IIT Madras alumni Raghu Sripada and Ananya Gangadharan, alongside Rajesh Thomas, an IISc Bangalore alumnus, Triolt Energy is focused on designing and manufacturing advanced lithium-ion cells. The startup’s research centers around improving the performance, safety, and efficiency of energy storage systems, with a particular emphasis on electric vehicles (EVs). Their proprietary technology includes novel electrode material processing and innovative cell designs, which promise to deliver significant improvements in key areas such as energy density, safety, and cost-effectiveness. As EV adoption accelerates globally, Triolt Energy’s advancements could help solve long-standing challenges such as slow charging times and limited battery life.
Leadership Insights: Driving Innovation and Industry Transformation
Raghu Sripada, Co-Founder and CEO of Triolt Energy, shared his excitement about the funding, noting that the capital will play a critical role in accelerating the commercialization of their lithium-ion cells. He emphasized that this funding will enable Triolt Energy to tackle the key challenges of fast charging, high discharge rates, and long cycle life, which are essential for improving the accessibility and reliability of electric vehicles. The company is committed to providing solutions that meet the future energy demands of India and beyond.
Campus Angels Network: A Strategic Partner for Growth
Chandran Krishnan, Managing Director & CEO of Campus Angels Network, highlighted the alignment between Triolt Energy’s innovative approach and the investment network’s philosophy. “Triolt Energy’s strong foundation at IIT Madras, combined with their forward-thinking approach to energy storage, makes them an ideal fit for our portfolio,” Krishnan said. Campus Angels Network is a well-established investor group that supports startups poised to lead the charge in sustainable energy and emerging technologies. By backing Triolt Energy, Campus Angels Network is positioning itself as a key player in the future of electric mobility and renewable energy.
Strategic Goals: Scaling Production and Enabling Faster EV Adoption
With the new funding, Triolt Energy aims to accelerate its production capacity and further validate its technology to meet the growing demand for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. One of the company’s most promising innovations is its ability to reduce EV charging times dramatically. Current industry standards often require up to six hours for a full charge, but Triolt’s next-generation cells have the potential to cut that time down to just 15 minutes. Additionally, the startup plans to extend the battery life by 1.5 times compared to conventional cells, making electric vehicles more efficient, cost-effective, and attractive to consumers. These developments will play a critical role in driving EV adoption and contributing to more sustainable energy solutions in India and globally.
