To date, easyNav has supported more than 20,000 surgeries across hospitals of varying sizes. The company’s strategy centers on continuous product innovation, scaling in-house manufacturing and expanding into global markets. Fresh capital from its latest round provides runway for these initiatives, but specific revenue figures have not been disclosed. Co-founded by Arpit Paliwal and Shweta Paliwal, HRS Navigation positions itself as a cost-effective alternative to imported surgical navigation solutions in India and abroad.
- Ecozen
Participated · Series C · Jan 2023
Ecozen Solutions develops hardware-led, solar-powered products that improve the farm-to-fork value chain, notably Ecofrost (portable solar cold storage) and Ecotron (smart solar pump controllers). Its systems are embedded with AI and IoT to cut post-harvest losses and raise farmer incomes, and the company says it has touched 1.2 million+ lives while manufacturing more than 300,000 Ecotron units to date, including 100,000 in the nine months to December 2024. Revenue surged to about INR 889 crore in FY25 with profit nearing INR 95 crore, reflecting an 83 % three-year revenue CAGR and improving EBITDA margins. Founded by IIT alumni Devendra Gupta, Prateek Singhal and Vivek Pandey, Ecozen is also expanding into adjacent cooling and solar applications that leverage its motor-control and energy-storage expertise. The firm has cumulatively secured over USD 70–76 million in equity and debt financing, including a USD 30 million mix round in April 2024. Ecozen’s rising order book for climate-smart agri hardware underpins its need for structured debt to finance inventory and working capital. Management intends to use fresh capital to support continued volume scaling and geographic expansion.
