Solinas Integrity raises $5.5 million Series A from Hero Enterprise
Solinas Integrity is a company that makes robots which help check and clean the pipes that carry water underground.
The robots also make digital maps of these pipes so people can see what is happening below the streets.
This is important because broken or dirty pipes can waste water.
The company started at a famous university in India called IIT Madras.
Recently, the company got a big pile of money, $5.5 million, from investors to help it grow.
The main investor was Hero Enterprise Partner Ventures, and other investors joined in too.
The money will be used to expand to new cities in India and other countries.
The company also wants to work on checking oil and gas pipes and defence equipment.
It hopes to earn 100 crore rupees, which is a lot of money, by the year 2028.
This work helps keep water clean and safe for everyone.
Solinas Integrity raised $5.5 million in Series A funding, led by Hero Enterprise Partner Ventures and co-led by Mela Ventures.
The IIT Madras-incubated climate deep-tech and robotics company builds AI and robotics systems that inspect, clean, and digitise underground water and wastewater infrastructure.
Its technology is deployed in 35 cities across 15 states in India, with expanding operations in West Asia.
Luthra Group participated in the round alongside existing investors SBI Ventures, Rainmatter, and 8X Ventures Fund I.
The company aims to post revenues of ₹100 crore by FY28 and plans to expand into West Asia, Southeast Asia, and adjacent sectors like Oil & Gas and defence.
