From the list of startups, Statiq is an electric vehicle charging network that has raised $25.7 million which is amounting to around Rs 200 crores in its Series A round. The motive of the funding is to invest the money into product engineering and network infrastructure. The round was backed by Shell Ventures.

Statiq is planning to utilize the fresh funding capital to accelerate its efforts to scale and realize value from the contract portfolio by investing in product engineering and network infrastructure and reinforcing the core team.

The startup is focusing on facilitating an end-to-end ecosystem for EV chargers. Statiq has recently collaborated with Hero Electric and EV maker Ather to enhance the scale of the combined EV charging network in northern Indian states.
