The Trilegal Kimbal Series B fundraise marks a significant capital milestone for India’s smart metering and energy transition sector.

Significance and Impact

Niveshaay’s participation through the Sambhav Fund, its domestic Category II AIF, represents a follow-on commitment by an early institutional backer. The round closed at a time when global capital for technology businesses has tightened sharply — making the transaction a notable vote of confidence in India’s energy transition infrastructure.
