Tan90 Thermal Solutions, a Chennai-based deep-tech startup focused on sustainable thermal energy management, has raised INR 20 crore in a Series A funding round led by NABVENTURES.
The round also saw participation from Blue Ashva Capital, Capital-A, and 3i Partners. The fresh infusion of capital follows Tan90's earlier raise of USD 4.6 million from Social Alpha and other investors.
The funds will be strategically deployed to develop new product lines targeted at cold chains, HVAC systems, and data centres. Additionally, Tan90 plans to expand its presence to 10 more Indian cities—particularly Tier-II cities—while establishing a footprint in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
