Performance Management is broken. Klaar’s AI platform fixes it – eliminating bias, delivering real-time insights and doing all the hard work no one else has time for. Klaar: -Creates a unified view of performance for employees, managers and HR -Continuously predicts, recommends and creates relevant content -Suggests achievable goals tied to vision, industry and role -Writes relevant, equitable reviews from real data, saving managers hours of work -Flags risks, celebrates wins and keeps everyone in sync -Reduces double work by integrating with all other business tools So many forward-thinking brands are already using Klaar to reimagine performance management. Proactive, not reactive. Engaging, not enraging. In real time, not at set times. That’s Klaar.

Wankel Energy Systems (WES), an IIT Madras and Forge incubated startup, is redefining energy efficiency with world-leading technology. We’ve engineered "The Phoenix", the world’s most efficient steam expander, capable of transforming wasted steam energy potential into electricity. Our mission extends beyond steam—our innovative technology is designed to operate on various mediums like air, refrigerants, hydrogen, ammonia, CO2, LNG, etc., revolutionizing compressors and combustion engines across various industries, pushing the boundaries of energy and sustainability. At WES, we’re not just innovating; we’re building the future of energy, with solutions that are as versatile as they are groundbreaking.

Avammune Therapeutics is a drug discovery company focused on the development of novel immunotherapeutics to address high unmet medical needs. Our research is driven by the science that have a potential to create a significant difference on the disease platform. Our expertise lies on developing small molecule drugs that can be administered systemically and can potentially overcome the issues faced by the currently available therapeutics for cancer and immunological disorders. We work with experts in disease biology to achieve this goal which aims at improving the lives of patients significantly. Our research efforts has led to successful completion of projects in the immunoncology space.

Our Mission: We possess the worlds highest-resolution L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) & we are creating Indias first drone-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Its commercial and strategic applications will remain unhindered by clouds, smoke, fog and even pitch darkness. We aim to make this technology and its results affordable for anyone and everyone! With our all-weather, day and night, high-frequency imaging drone-borne SARs, invisible details come to light. Our Founder: Acknowledged as a global expert in Imaging Radar, Tapan Misra was the Director of two of ISRO’s most prestigious centres, Space Applications Centre (SAC) and Physical Research Laboratory (PRL). He is also considered the Father of the RISAT series of imaging satellites, which form the backbone of India’s many tactical, strategic and civilian applications. He is also the lead designer of NASA ISRO dual frequency SAR (NISAR) which is scheduled to launch by 2024.

In the last two decades we have developed numerous products and systems using critical technologies and have built an excellent reputation both in India and globally. We strive relentlessly towards bringing ourselves into the front players of technology on the global map. Till now, we have successfully deployed, operated and maintained technologies like : ​ Adaptive Optics Systems, Ultra High Precision Diamond Turning (SPDT) Facility for making free form optics High Energy lasers and imaging systems for Defense, Aerospace and Medical applications, On the edge AI and IOT based Imaging systems for Surveillance Worked on platforms like Zemax, COMSOL Multiphysics, MATLAB, Python, SOLIDWORKS, ABAQUS Finite Element Modelling, light safety analysis. and many more. ​ With the background and global exposure of instrument building, manufacturing optical components, and design, we have a strong team with Research & Design, Production and Prototyping knowledge base. Being highly academically inclined, we have active collaborations with academic Institutes of very high repute both nationally and internationally. ​ With a mandate of building core competitiveness, and ecosystems that India aspires for, we are poised to become the facilitators who can fill the demand supply gap and enable Indian Industry to build next generation products.

A sustainable and efficient Li-Ion battery recycling clean-tech solution. Mini Mines is a part of a revolution in the electric vehicle ecosystem to create a circular economy for energy storage devices (Li-Ion), which includes sourcing and collection of the spent batteries and recovery of precious battery-grade materials. The complete ecosystem is based on advanced research and environment sustainable processes. Our proprietary HYBRID-HYDROMERALLURGYTM process extracts rare elemental compounds like Nickel, Cobalt, Lithium, and Manganese in their respective salts with pure copper and alumina with spherical graphite from mineral-rich "BlackMass" which can be directly utilized in the manufacturing of new Li-Ion cells.

International Battery Company (IBC) is a full-service lithium-ion product company specializing in the design, development, and manufacturing of prismatic form factor cells for niche players in the mobility and storage sectors. IBC owns and operates a 50 MWh facility in Korea, where we bring our technology to life and deliver product. At this facility, we qualify our cells for performance and high-speed manufacturing, allowing us to prepare for giga-expansion. Our go-to-market product, a NMC-622 cell, offers 40% higher energy density compared to its LFP peers, without compromising cycle life or safety. To meet growing cell demand and expand our product accessibility, we plan to break ground on our first non-captive gigafactory in India in Q4 2024. IBC’s mission is to broaden the accessibility of advanced cell technology for underserved players in mobility and storage. Whether you need our NMC product, a customized cell solution, or are simply a part of the value chain, feel free to reach out to our team!

Alt Carbon is a deeptech science and data company, building agri infrastructure for climate action. We aim to make South Asia a hub for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) through technology pathways like Enhanced Rock Weathering. We work with farmers and scientists in the Global South, to turn underutilized land into carbon sinks. Our flagship initiative, the Darjeeling Revival Project (DRP), is a first-of-its-kind effort to unite climate action with cultural and ecological restoration — by reviving degraded soils, restoring livelihoods, and rebuilding ecosystems. We’re rooted in science, powered by community, and driven by the belief that revivals require ambitious people and audacious bets. Our mission is to remove 5 million metric tons of CO₂ by 2030.
