Theia Ventures Leads $1M Pre-Seed Round in AI-Based Clean Energy Platform EarthSync

Theia Ventures, India’s specialist early-stage venture capital fund focused on artificial intelligence (AI), deeptech, energy transition, and decarbonization, has led a $1 million pre-seed funding round in EarthSync, a unified AI-driven platform for renewable energy planning, procurement, and operations. The round also saw participation from Eximius Ventures, India’s first dedicated pre-seed fund investing across enterprise AI, fintech, and consumer technology.

The funding will be deployed to accelerate the development of EarthSync’s AI-enabled clean energy modelling and forecasting engine, policy-integrated techno-economic optimization tools, and its digital project marketplace. The platform aims to simplify renewable energy decision-making by offering cloud-first energy finance modelling and data-driven insights to Independent Power Producers (IPPs), commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers, advisors, and utilities.

EarthSync is building a unified artificial intelligence platform that allows enterprises and energy developers to plan, procure, and manage renewable energy assets with greater accuracy and confidence. By integrating techno-economic modelling, regulatory intelligence, real-time simulations, and advanced AI algorithms, the platform enables users to assess multiple project scenarios, optimize returns, improve forecasting accuracy, and make informed capital deployment decisions.

During pilot deployments, EarthSync has conducted simulations covering over 10 GW of solar and wind capacity and 4 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS). These simulations have supported strategic planning and bidding for more than 200 MW of solar and wind projects and 100 MWh of energy storage capacity, demonstrating the platform’s ability to drive large-scale clean energy decision-making.

Commenting on the investment, Priya Shah, Founder and General Partner at Theia Ventures, said the partnership reflects confidence in EarthSync’s proprietary AI technology and its potential to modernize renewable energy analytics. She noted that the platform is well positioned to disrupt traditional spreadsheet-based and legacy software approaches by offering a customizable, agile, and accurate performance management engine for C&I customers and IPPs.

Preeti Sampat, Partner at Eximius Ventures, said EarthSync provides a single, reliable digital interface that integrates policy, pricing, and asset performance data, enabling stakeholders to make transparent and coordinated decisions across the renewable energy value chain.

Welcoming the investors, EarthSync co-founders Rajat Singh and Mehul Kumar said the funding will accelerate the company’s mission to simplify energy transitions and build the digital backbone of the clean energy economy. They added that EarthSync’s solutions are already being applied across industries including automotive manufacturing, data centres, metals and mining, chemicals, and textiles, helping enterprises translate policy, technical, and climate complexities into actionable intelligence.

India’s clean energy market is witnessing rapid growth driven by rising electricity demand, policy support, and increased investment activity. However, renewable energy adoption remains challenged by evolving state-level regulations, pricing uncertainties, grid constraints, compliance complexities, and fragmented data ecosystems. Digital platforms such as EarthSync are expected to play a critical role in enabling scalable, compliant, and financially optimized renewable energy deployment.

This marks Theia Ventures’ fifth investment from its newly launched fund, which announced its first close in October 2025, anchored by British International Investment (BII). The fund’s existing portfolio includes Sarla Aviation, Climitra Carbon, Lemnisca, and Novyte Materials, with additional investments planned within the current financial year.
