New Delhi, Aug. 25 -- CarbonStrong, a Bengaluru-based climate-tech startup, is now trying to take that proposition from customer trials to commercial production.

The company has raised Rs.12.5 crore in a seed round led by IAN Angel Fund, the evergreen fund of IAN Group. Rainmatter, Social Alpha, Spectrum Impact, and Full Circle Ventures also participated in the round.

The funding will be used to establish CarbonStrong's first production facility, expand its team, continue product development and testing, and convert customer trials into commercial-scale deployments.

Cement sits at the center of modern construction, but its environmental cost has made reducing its use an important part of the industry's decarbonization efforts.
