The nanotechnology startup Vimano acquired seed funding of Rs 25 crore after Ankur Capital took the lead position in investing. Ankur Capital has started its third fund framework through this landmark deal. The seed funding enables Vimano to support its objective for energy transition because its membranes power critical components in all three energy applications - PEM fuel cells and redox flow batteries and electrolyzers for green hydrogen production.

Numerous technological barriers remain in the way of global energy transition since solar energy costs continue to fall. Green hydrogen production expenses remain high while effective LDES solutions remain unavailable to facilitate the transition of heavy manufacturing industries and create a fully renewable powered electricity system.
