NovorbisItus Pvt. Ltd., a cleantech startup based in Pune, Maharashtra, India, has successfully raised ₹13.35 crore (approximately $1.6 million USD) in seed funding. The funding round was led by Rainmatter, the investment initiative of Zerodha, and included participation from Rockstud Capital. NovorbisItus specializes in developing technologies for emission control and air purification, particularly targeting decentralized pollution sources such as diesel generator (DG) sets and crematoriums. Their flagship product, the Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD), is designed to help existing diesel generators comply with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) emission norms without needing full equipment replacement. The funds will be utilized to scale their existing solutions and expand into new product lines, including technologies for carbon capture and emissions reduction in larger industrial facilities. The startup was founded by Harsh Neekhra, Gagan Tripathi, and Divyank Gupta, who began their journey as college students with a vision to tackle air pollution at its source. Their innovative approach has already gained traction in various industrial and commercial settings across India, particularly in urban areas plagued by poor air quality.
