It’s a pleasure to be interacting with you. And to be presenting the CLIMAFIX Summit 2023
report.
CLIMAFIX has, in a very short time, become India’s leading climate tech startup & investor
summit.
The 2023 edition was larger than the inaugural 2022 edition, and was also more diverse in
program content and in the categories of participants.
In all, the summit had over 700 participants, with about 100 experts & startups on stage, 35
partners and 7 sponsors.
As it was for the 2022 edition, the co-organizer, Energy Consortium - IIT Madras, and the
key sponsors played a critical role in making the summit both valuable and enriching.
This report provides a summary of the program content and more importantly, a directory of
all the experts on stage and the list of startups which were there at the summit.
I hope that the program summary and directory content are useful for many stakeholders in
the Indian climate tech ecosystem.
I wish you all the very best, and look forward to seeing you at CLIMAFIX Summit 2024.

Research Park, Chennai. Organized by Energy Alternatives India (EAI) along with the
Energy Consortium - IIT Madras, the event comprised 500+ climate startups and 150+
investors, along with corporates and entrepreneurs.
The summit’s theme is “Innovation for Impact”. The event provided a platform for all key
climate innovations & startup stakeholders and chart out how to leverage innovations for
decarbonization at scale.
● Star Startup Sessions - Star Startups are those that develop solutions expected to
have high impacts for sustainability & low carbon future. Rather than a traditional
presentation, the Star Startup session comprised a maximum of 3-4 startups providing
insights through tailored questions.
● WHY Sessions - It also comprised Startups and Investors making brief presentations
on WHY their solutions and investments are of high impact.
● The event also included networking around specific themes such as Green Hydrogen.

Summary
Each session consisted of three Star Startups, one anchor, and one investor with a duration of
40 minutes.
We had 3-4 startups for each of the 8 Star Startup sessions, each guided by an industry expert
(anchor) and an investor. So, in total, there were 5-6 on stage for each session.
The objective of each Star Startup session was to have curated startups share key insights
they had learned in their journey in a way that added real value to both investors and other
startups in the audience. To achieve this, a curated Q&A format was followed.
● The anchor opened the session by setting the context from an industry
standpoint - 3 to 5 minutes.
● The investor provided his/her perspectives and context from an investor
standpoint - 3 to 5 minutes.
● A maximum of 4 startups (3 in most sessions) each provided focused answers
on a few questions (max of 4) tailored for them and communicated in advance.
Each Star Startup took a maximum of 7 minutes.
● At the end of the startup answers, the anchor and investor each took 2 minutes
to wrap it up.
Each session consisted of four startups, four investors, and one moderator with a duration of
40 minutes.
The eight WHY sessions were named for a reason: The sessions were about why startups did
what they did and why investors invested in specific ventures.
For startups - to understand the key impacts that startups wished to achieve with their
efforts.
For investors - to identify the main reasons investors invested in specific startups.
The moderator was typically an industry expert with a background or expertise in the domain.
● The moderator opened the session by setting the context from an industry
standpoint - 4 minutes.
● 3-4 investors provided their perspectives on why they invested in specific startups
related to the theme (e.g., Water, Energy Storage...) - 4 minutes.
● 3-4 startups each provided inputs on WHY they were doing what they were doing -
the key environmental, decarbonization, and sustainability impacts of their work - 4
minutes.
● At the end of both the startup and investors' insights on WHYs, the moderator took a
maximum of 3 minutes to wrap it up.
