Praan
A venture-backed deep tech start-up using breakthrough patent-pending technology for filter-less capture of particulates and carbon dioxide from ambient air
About Praan
A deep-tech climate startup that has developed filterless outdoor air purification systems designed for large commercial and semi-open spaces.
The company's core technology is filterless, capturing particulate matter and carbon dioxide from ambient air. This approach aims to democratize clean air by providing a more cost-effective and lower-maintenance solution compared to traditional filter-based systems.
Praan targets a diverse client base, including large commercial entities and industries operating in areas with high air pollution. Its business model likely involves the sale and installation of these purification systems, potentially with ongoing service or data-as-a-service components. The company has established a partnership with Microsoft to co-sell its clean air solutions, indicating a B2B and enterprise-focused sales strategy. The company operates in the growing cleantech and climate-tech markets, specifically addressing the global issue of air pollution.
Backed by venture capital and strategic investors, including Kirloskar Family and Thyssenkrupp India Family, the company is focused on scaling its technology and market presence.
