17 Apr 2026 CW Team

The company said the funds will be utilised to strengthen research and development of energy-aligned solutions and to expand distribution. Aliste is also widening its solution scope as it targets new opportunities in enterprise energy optimisation.

Founded in 2021 by VIT batchmates Anant Ohri, Aakarsh Nayyar, Bhavya Kansal, Konark Gautam and Shreyansh Jain, Aliste began its journey as a D2C smart home brand and appeared on Shark Tank India Season 1. Over time, it has evolved into an enterprise-focused energy management provider offering end-to-end solutions across hardware and software.

“Aliste is building the intelligence layer for energy - helping enterprises to monitor, control, and optimize usage across hospitality, co-living, and commercial spaces," said Shreyansh Jain, Co-Founder & CTO of Aliste.

“Our core conviction is that what is good for the planet is inherently good for business. We are proving that sustainability is a critical financial lever, not just an ESG check-box”, he added.

Aliste’s proprietary technology integrates directly into existing facilities, enabling businesses to gain real-time visibility into energy consumption and costs. The company delivers impact across key segments including co-living, retail, restaurants and hospitality. Its offerings include smart energy monitoring systems that support prepaid billing models, energy management solutions for high-traffic outlets such as QSRs, and revenue leakage monitoring tools for hotels.

Commenting on the investment, Preetinder Panjrath, CFO of BIG Capital said, “As AI adoption accelerates energy cost will continue to accelerate the upward trend, which will negatively impact business operating margins and straining disposable incomes. Aliste Technologies energy management system is positioned at the intersection of AI adoption and higher energy costs and we expect them to be a prime beneficiary of this trend as it helps alleviate the structural rise in energy cost.”

Aliste said it currently manages around 3 million units of monthly energy volume across more than 1.5 lakh IoT assets. Through its efficiency measures, the company claims it is on track to save nearly 3,28,000 kilograms of CO2 every month, equivalent to planting more than 13,000 mature trees monthly.

The startup aims to scale its operations significantly over the next year and position itself as a leading energy management player in India and international markets.
