Accacia, a Gurugram, India-based platform focused on providing decarbonization strategies to the real estate and infrastructure sectors, closed a $2.5 million in seed funding.
The round was led by Accel and B Capital. Blume Ventures, Good Capital, Zerodha’s Rainmatter Fund, Canada-based Loyal VC, and several leading angel investors also participated in the round.
The funds will be used to expand its presence across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, the US, and Canada over the next year.
“Real estate sector lacks robust tools to measure climate risks and define decarbonization strategies. We are working with large asset managers, developers, and real estate operators to help them with tools they need to define and monitor their path to net zero,” said Annu Talreja, founder and CEO at Accacia.
Accacia has deployed its solutions to over 20 million square feet of institutional real estate across Asia.
