Founded in 2016 by IIT Delhi graduates, Chakr Innovation is a deep-tech company focused on material-science driven clean-tech products. Its flagship offering, Chakr Shield, is India’s first certified retrofit emission control device for diesel generators and can cut particulate emissions by more than 80%. The firm is also commercialising an aluminium-air energy storage technology made entirely from indigenous raw materials, aiming to provide a higher-density, lithium-free alternative for batteries. Chakr Innovation claims over 5,000 installations across more than 2,000 customers and reports having abated more than 2.5 million tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions. With the latest capital, the company plans to expand manufacturing capacity, pursue international markets, strengthen backward integration, and deepen R&D. It also intends to establish the country’s first dedicated materials science centre focused on critical materials, furthering its vision of building world-class technologies from India.
