Stride Green is coming for EVs, batteries, and solar — but not how you think In a time when everyone’s talking about saving the planet, one Indian startup
In a time when everyone’s talking about saving the planet, one Indian startup isn’t just talking — it’s raising millions to finance the future of clean energy.
Meet Stride Green — the latest climate-tech disruptor that just secured $3.5 million in seed funding to supercharge India’s clean energy revolution. But here’s the twist: they’re not building EVs, batteries, or solar panels… they’re financing them.
That’s right. Stride Green is on a mission to become the financial engine behind India’s green transition — and they just got a huge vote of confidence from top investors to do it.
Founded by Ishpreet Gandhi and Vivek Jain, Stride Green is building something most startups don’t even think about: a full-stack financing and asset management platform for the clean energy economy.
What does that mean?
It means they’re making it easy for companies and consumers to lease, finance, and manage high-cost green tech — like electric vehicles, solar equipment, and battery storage — without breaking the bank.
Think of it as the missing link between good intentions and real-world adoption.
Stride Green’s $3.5 million seed round was led by Micelio Technology Fund, Incubate Fund Asia, and other strategic investors who clearly see the massive potential in this overlooked part of the climate puzzle.
With this cash, the startup plans to:
It’s a bold play — and the money says they’re onto something big.
Unlike traditional lenders, Stride Green isn’t just handing out loans and hoping for the best. It’s using smart tech and real-time data to manage every step of the asset lifecycle — from financing to performance tracking.
Their platform includes:
In short: Stride Green is building the financial infrastructure for India’s green economy.
“We’re not just building a financing tool — we’re creating scalable, intelligent systems for India’s climate-tech future,” said co-founder and CEO Vivek Jain.
He added, “With mission-aligned partners like Micelio and Incubate, we’re ready to take our vision further and faster.”
The clean energy boom in India has a problem: capital. While demand is high, most green technologies are expensive up front — and financing is still a mess.
Stride Green is tackling that head-on, offering affordable, tech-enabled leasing and lending solutions to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles, solar power, and energy storage — the very core of India’s net-zero ambitions.
And by focusing on both consumers and businesses, they’re solving problems across the board.
Rajeev Ranka, Partner at Incubate Fund Asia, put it plainly:
“We’re excited to partner with Stride Green to co-create a new-age green financing platform. They’re ahead of the curve, and we’re proud to join them on this mission.”
In other words: green finance isn’t just trendy — it’s the next big market.
Imagine a world where your favorite delivery app uses EVs funded by Stride Green. Or where small businesses can afford solar panels because the financing just… works.
That’s the world this startup wants to build — and with $3.5 million in fresh capital, they’re putting the wheels in motion.
With one of the biggest seed rounds in India’s climate-tech space and a crystal-clear focus on green asset finance, Stride Green is turning a boring corner of fintech into the backbone of India’s clean future.
They don’t want to build the EV — they want to finance every EV, battery, and solar panel that moves India forward.
And if they succeed? They’ll quietly become one of the most powerful players in the clean tech revolution—without ever building a single electric vehicle.
