Climate tech firm Aurassure raises Rs 25 crore for expansion in Global South
Powered by a dense network of 2,000+ street-level sensors and proprietary AI-physics fusion models, Aurassure delivers ultra-high-resolution intelligence on air quality, heat stress, rainfall, water levels, wind dynamics and urban flooding.
Climate tech startup Aurassure has raised Rs 25 Crore in Pre-Series A led by Rainmatter by Zerodha and Unicorn India Ventures. The round also saw participation from Maithan Alloys Limited. Aurassure delivers real-time, hyperlocal visibility into environmental risks for enterprises operating in increasingly volatile climates.
Aurassure said that funds raised will be strategically deployed towards global expansion accelerating its presence across the Global South with a focus on Latin America, South Asia, and Africa. This will include strengthening its Brazilian subsidiary, building regional teams, and scaling city-level deployments along with product development that will advance Aurassure’s Climate Intelligence Analytics Platform, expanding AI-driven predictive models, enhancing cloud analytics, and developing next-generation hyperlocal sensing systems.
Additionally, with hardware innovation and manufacturing the company will advance sensor development for air quality, heat, rainfall, flooding and microclimate monitoring, with improved accuracy and durability and expanded calibration infrastructure, while optimizing manufacturing processes to support large-scale, cost-efficient deployments.

Akanksha Priyadarshini, Co-founder & CEO, Aurassure, says “Enterprises today need climate intelligence that is immediate, accurate, and hyperlocal. Aurassure brings that capability to the ground by helping organizations reduce risk, protect people, and operate with confidence in an increasingly unpredictable climate. What was earlier a ‘nice to have’, has now become an absolute necessity. This fund raise enables us to accelerate that mission across the global South.”
In the last 12 months, Aurassure has expanded its network to over 2,000 sensor nodes with 99% uptime, scaled operations across 200+ cities in India and 100+ cities in Brazil. In addition to this, Aurassure has also initiated early projects in Bangladesh, marking its entry into broader SEA markets. The Company has onboarded enterprise customers and partners across technology, insurance, healthcare, construction, and industrial sectors. The revenues have grown 150% Y-o-Y since its last round in 2023.
Bhaskar Majumdar, Managing Partner, Unicorn India Ventures adds, “The effects of climate change are a cause of concern not only in India but across the globe. India has been an active and influential player in the climate change ecosystem from the beginning and the Govt is also increasingly prioritising dealing with climate change.”
Abhinav Singh Negi, Rainmatter, states, “Climate change is here and we are beginning to feel the effects in our lives. Though the long term goal for humanity is to take mitigating measures, it seems global policy and executive alignment will take some time. In the meantime, we cannot afford to just react to the adverse effects of climate change, we need to take a more proactive approach. This is where we feel Aurassure can contribute to our resilience. We are hoping to play a small role in this by supporting them.
