Nanotechnology startup Vimano has raised ₹25 crore (approximately $3 million) in its seed funding round led by Ankur Capital. This marks the first investment from Ankur Capital’s recently launched third fund.
The fresh capital will be used to expand Vimano’s team, kickstart pilot projects, and set up manufacturing operations, enabling the company to move from lab-scale innovation to real-world impact.
Founded in 2019 by Murari Ramkumar and Dr. Nagesh Kini, Vimano develops advanced membranes for clean energy systems such as redox flow batteries, fuel cells, and green hydrogen production.
These adaptable membranes are designed to improve electricity flow, enhance durability, and reduce energy loss—making energy storage more efficient and cost-effective.
Currently, Vimano is working closely with partners in the energy sector to test and deploy its technology in real-world scenarios.
