Aliste Technologies has raised Rs 300 million in a pre-Series A round led by Big Global JSC, with participation from YourNest Venture Capital and HBeon Labs.

The funding will be used to advance research in energy-focused solutions and expand distribution of its enterprise offerings.

Founded in 2021, Aliste has evolved from a D2C smart home brand into an enterprise energy management platform, currently managing over 1.5 lakh IoT assets across 20+ cities. The company enables real-time monitoring and optimisation of energy consumption across sectors such as hospitality, co-living and retail.

Commenting on the development, Shreyansh Jain, Co-Founder & CTO, Aliste, said, “Aliste is building the intelligence layer for energy… We are proving that sustainability is a critical financial lever, not just an ESG check-box.”

Preetinder Panjrath, CFO, Big Capital, added, “Aliste is positioned at the intersection of AI adoption and rising energy costs… helping businesses manage structural increases in energy expenses.”

The platform is currently managing around 3 million units of energy monthly and is estimated to reduce approximately 328,000 kg of CO2 emissions each month, supporting enterprise sustainability goals.
