90% of Businesses that have considered buying a solar plant, do not end up buying it. Additionally, 67% of the solar plants installed in India, do not pass basic quality checks. These numbers inspired our team to create SafEarth - a platform to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy in India. We are a team of young and passionate climate professionals who are constantly removing the challenges that consumers of the solar face and those that the hard-working service providers in the industry face. SafEarth for Industries: We help you find the right quality solar plant and the best vendors for the project. We then provide you with different financing options and through an online reverse auction ensure that you are buying the project at the best possible price. Through our Project Management Suite: Solar Flow, we ensure that the transition is smooth and hassle-free and that there are different checks and balances in place to ensure the best quality installation. Finally, our platform monitors the generation of the asset and helps you in getting the best returns on your investment. SafEarth for EPCs: We help EPC companies in growing their top lines and bottom lines. Our marketplace is a source for you to get high-quality opportunities and close them in the fastest time possible.

Xponentia was set up to address the paucity of capital in the Indian mid-market corporate sector. At the growth stage of their life-cycle, in addition to capital, companies need to “corporatize” their business in order to scale up for long-term sustainable growth. Xponentia aims to be a catalyst for such sustainable growth by providing capabilities & capital to our portfolio companies through our uniquely developed Value Creation Strategy. We are committed to partnering with extraordinary entrepreneurs in helping build exceptional businesses. Investment philosophy We generally look for fast growing business in need of equity financing with Enterprise Valuations less than INR 1000 Cr and positive EBITDA. Our target founders seek to maximise shareholder value and are equally excited about M&A or IPO at fair values. While we typically invest between INR 75-120 Cr in each investment, we can invest a larger amount (>INR 250 Cr) in select situations.
