Sanchi Connect, Informa Markets Partner to Accelerate Global Access for Indian Clean Energy Startups

Sanchi Connect, in collaboration with the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo by Informa Markets, successfully unveiled the first-ever Startup Pavilion and Investor Lounge at Asia’s second-largest clean energy summit. The platform united India’s most promising innovators in battery, renewable, and climate tech with global investors, corporations, and policymakers.

Drawing over 250 applications, 35 startups were selected to showcase their solutions, leading to hundreds of qualified business leads and strong engagement from domestic and international investors.

Building on its deep-tech investment readiness programs, Sanchi Connect is evolving into a global market access enabler, helping founders scale from prototypes to partnerships and pilots to international markets. The company plans to extend its model to regions such as the UAE, Africa, and Southeast Asia, focusing on clean energy, mobility, health, and climate tech.

“Informa Markets India has consistently driven India’s clean energy dialogue through REI Expos. This year, our partnership with Sanchi Connect amplified that vision by connecting sustainability startups with global investors,” said Rajneesh Khattar, Senior Group Director, Informa Markets.

“Our goal was simple, create a space where startups don’t just exhibit, but engage in real business conversations,” added Vijay Bawra, Consultant, New Market Entry at Sanchi Connect.

This collaboration underscores how a focused ecosystem approach can convert India’s deep-tech innovation into global commercial success, marking a pivotal step toward internationalising India’s clean energy startup landscape.
