EMO Energy Secures USD 6.2 Million to Scale Battery Solutions for Urban Mobility and Storage

EMO Energy, a deep energy-tech startup specialising in advanced battery and energy storage solutions, has raised USD 6.2 million in its Series A funding round, led by Subhkam Ventures.

The round also saw participation from notable investors, including Microtek Group, SRK Family Office, and Transition VC, reflecting strong market confidence in EMO’s innovative approach to sustainable urban energy.

The firm was founded in 2022 by Sheetanshu Tyagi and Rahul Patel, both veterans from Tesla, Rivian, Ather, and General Motors. EMO Energy focuses on transforming the urban energy landscape through its proprietary battery software and hardware technologies. The company’s core mission is to drive sustainable solutions for light mobility and energy storage, addressing key pain points in urban transportation and commercial energy needs.

With the new funding, EMO Energy plans to scale its two-wheeler energy solutions to over 1 lakh vehicles within the next two years. In addition, the company will push forward the deployment of 1 GWh of energy storage capacity, crucial for supporting urban energy grids and commercial applications. A portion of the funds will be allocated to enhancing research and development (R&D) efforts, particularly in battery health extension software. The startup also intends to expand its workforce to meet rising operational demands and accelerate its growth trajectory.

Speaking on the funding, Sheetanshu Tyagi, co-founder and CEO, highlighted EMO Energy’s vision to build an integrated urban energy ecosystem. “Over the last 12 months, we have established high-volume partnerships with major OEMs. This capital infusion empowers us to scale from 2 kWh to 2,000 kWh and further develop an urban energy network that integrates delivery vehicles, fast chargers, and energy storage solutions,” Tyagi said. He added that EMO’s future roadmap includes deploying EMO-enabled vehicles for commercial use, supported by fast chargers and integrated energy management software, ensuring seamless energy distribution across urban spaces.

A key differentiator for EMO Energy is its proprietary tech stack, ZEN, a cell-agnostic platform capable of enabling ultra-fast 20-minute charging while extending battery life beyond five years. The patented ZEN technology leverages AI-driven battery management systems, active thermal management, and machine learning algorithms to optimise battery health and performance. This innovation unlocks significant market potential across electric two-wheelers, light commercial vehicles, and industrial energy storage systems.

Currently, EMO Energy has deployed more than 2,000 battery packs in the mobility segment, with production-ready pilots underway for energy storage systems (ESS) designed to replace diesel generators in industrial and commercial environments. These systems provide peak shaving and backup power, addressing the growing demand for cleaner and more reliable energy alternatives. The startup’s client portfolio includes industry leaders like Kinetic Green, BigBasket, Domino’s, and Blinkit, demonstrating its increasing footprint in the sustainable energy sector.

The startup’s focus on combining fast-charging technology with energy storage systems is expected to significantly reduce reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to a greener, more sustainable urban landscape.
