This report is structured as a funnel, with each section being more focused and pointed than the immediately preceding one. It presents an overview, current investment and funding landscape, and a guide for investors and funders for A2E and SM separately. It also outlines the current funding and investment scenario in both the sectors and details the three key takeaways for investors and funders – risks and challenges, opportunities and gaps, and an outlook for the future. We believe that readers will resonate with the insights presented. It is our hope that this report will spur positive financial support towards the innovation and entrepreneurial activity in these two critical sectors of the Indian economy.

Conceptualised and developed by IIMA Ventures, this report was prepared with support from Asian Venture Philanthropy Network India (AVPN) to create and disseminate knowledge about two critical sectors – Access to Energy (A2E) and Sustainable Mobility (SM).
