View full playlistIn this post, we have Priya Shah & Himanshu Sharma of Theia Ventures sharing their perspectives.
Theia ( https://lnkd.in/gdmXCEKw ) is a tech focussed venture capital firm with a huge interest in climate tech, and with an emphasis on seed stage capital. They count some rather exciting startups in the climate tech / deep tech intersection in their portfolio.
I have had the opportunity to interact with both Priya and Himanshu multiple times over the past one year, and I can see the deep interest they show in figuring out what’s next that can make a big impact. Reckon that also explains their frequent trips to IIT Madras Research Park (IITMRP) :-), which also happens to be the venue for the CLIMAFIX 2023 Summit!
Their answers provide you with an excellent list of things that are hot and could be hot very soon. So do read them. ( https://lnkd.in/g2wmTfWn

1. ???????? ???? – I have not seen too many investors think about this sector, at least not articulated this way. But if buildings are responsible for 40% of all energy consumption and about 30% of all energy related CO2 emissions, I reckon they merits focussed VC attention.
2. ????? ???? ?? ???? ??? ? ????? ????: Indian corporates provide opportunities to climate tech startups to sample their solutions as a starting point for much larger B2B contracts. Good news is, most corporates are waking up to the opportunity in decarbonization, so this definitely is an activity that can make a dramatic difference to the Indian climate startup ecosystem. And this is the reason we are trying to get a wide range of corporates to be present at this year’s CLIMAFIX Summit.
