Testimonials

Very well-organized event with a wide range of relevant attendees. Our experience was excellent and resulted in excellent engagement with potential clients, investors, employees, and industry advisors.

Alex Hall
CEO, Concrete AI, USA

Our team was blown away by the quality and quantity of climate innovation in India. SCALE was a phenomenal way to quickly connect with leaders across the Indian climate ecosystem. Attendees were engaged and speakers were thoughtfully curated. We look forward to attending in future years!

Jeremy Brewer
Managing Partner, Starshot Capital, USA

Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to attend and present at SCALE and to visit the Aarti’s R&D Center. I came away very impressed by the breadth of innovative technologies you’re engaged in and are supporting, and I we look forward to more collaborations.

Markus Lesemann
Sr. Director, Business Development, GTI Energy, USA

SCALE helped us to explore the quality opportunities in Indian market and build new manufacturing and customer connections. This would have taken lot of resources and time if we were to do it ourselves as a foreign startup trying to expand to India. With SCALE, we were able to accomplish more than what we had planned in just 3 days.  For a deep tech materials startup, identifying new applications, producing faster and cheaper at SCALE are very crucial. We appreciate the quality of the attendees. In fact, several folks were brainstorming new possibilities with our core technology which we had not thought about.  According to IEA, by 2050, almost half of the solution to global emission will come from technologies that are currently in prototype or demonstration phase. It’s very important to support such technologies now. We believe that in the future, SCALE will grow to play an important role in identifying the right challenges, connecting the right stakeholders and scaling the right solutions to tackle global climate tech challenges.

Dr. Gayathri Natarajan
CEO, KrossLinker, Singapore

Just wanted to share how much value I have already got out of the conference. I have been able to level up my industry knowledge, and prospective customers have been very open to sharing what they are looking for in a retrofit. A customer also expressed interest in using our catalyst once scaled up, to boost one of their old semi-operational ammonia plants.

Aruna Ramakrishnan
CTO, Copernic Catalysts, USA

I had a blast at SCALE 24! The event was so well organized with a lot of thought put into the talks and networking event. Being able to wander into the ChemTECH pavilion was very helpful as it allowed me to see the nuts and bolts of industry and the prowess of process and momentum that Indian manufacturing has achieved. Seeing startups, academics, vendors, partnership forums, and corporate clients, and VCs right next to startups is commendable. Makes one think how hard such a gathering is in Silicon Valley!

Parikshit Sharma
Partner, IndieBio’s SOSV, USA

Our experience at SCALE was very good. We were able to make good connects with people in the same field as ours and got plenty of leads. One thing as a start-up we especially liked, was to meet more startups doing work in the same field like us. It was encouraging to meet them, to exchange notes and motivated us to keep moving forward. Sometimes, startups can get lost among the big established businesses, but at SCALE the experience was different!

Prerna Goradia
Exposome Pvt. Ltd., India

Thanking for inviting us to SCALE and congratulate the team for how well the event went! SCALE 24 had an outstanding array of speakers, particularly innovators, from across the world, delivering high quality and relevant content. It has set a new bar for Indian climate conferences. It was such a great collection of startups and other super relevant stakeholders in the industry. The other events around SCALE were also super well curated and the overall experience was quite enriching, for almost everyone in the ecosystem I imagine. On behalf of D3 – thanks again.

Chetan Krishna
Head of Research & Diligence, Third Derivative, Singapore

As a first-time visitor to India, this was a wonderful way to learn and see so much and meet so many great people. I am very grateful!

Kevin Tidwell
Managing Director, Grantham Foundation, USA

The event provided us the opportunity to find synergies with a variety of other industries that we do not find at a single place.

Prof. Shashank Bishnoi
IIT Delhi, India

As of today, SCALE is India’s only climate-tech event that brings the world’s most cutting-edge climate innovations under one roof. Each stakeholder in the climate-tech ecosystem has something to take away from the event. For me personally, I met many Indian climate-tech startups whom I had only interacted on zoom previously. I also got to hear from exceptional global climate-tech founders.

Johann Fernandes
ClimateX Capital, India

As an attendee of the inaugural SCALE event at ChemTECH 2024, we have come back thoroughly impressed by the remarkable platform the gathering provided. By bringing together clean-energy start-ups and industry stakeholders keen on accelerating their market adoption, SCALE served as a vital bridge to build and scale technologies that accelerate energy transition and decarbonization. It was a perfect space for ideas to collide, partnerships to form and breakthroughs to emerge. Kudos to the organizers for creating such a transformative experience!

Amit Tandon
Polycycl, India

It was a great experience attending SCALE. You and your team put in a lot of effort, and it showed. Great work. I see several avenues to pursue collaborations, etc.

Abhijeet Borole
ElectroActive Technologies, USA

At the very outset let me congratulate both of you and your respective teams for a very impressive SCALE event – the 1st of its kind to promote start-ups and their activities at a scale that I have ever attended!  But then honestly, I am not surprised with the outcome, considering the objectives of SCALE and the planning – promotion that went behind organising the event. Well done!

Mr. Ajay Popat
Ion Exchange, India

It was a very nice experience to be part of SCALE24 as a speaker. All sessions of the conference were very thoughtfully arranged. All presentation from various speakers were very informative. All invited start-ups were based on impact-making science and technologies. It was good to listen and connect with them.

Dr. Nilesh A Mali
Principal Scientist, CSIR-NCL Pune, India

It was a very valuable event for us as a deep tech startup. We were able to talk to potential suppliers, customers, investors, and students as future employees. Overall, a great experience!

Glatthaar
PV2+ GmbH, Germany

This was the first public showcase for altM. The panel talks and discussions helped altM think through the materials we are building. We diligently scouted and sourced top-notch equipment and raw material suppliers, paving the way for future collaborations and advancements in sustainable manufacturing. The team forged meaningful connections within the vibrant startup ecosystem and established ties with key industry players, fostering a collaborative spirit towards a greener future.

Apoorv Garg
CEO, AltM, India

Experience was great. We received different supplier for our raw material, engaged with few prospective customers. Good platform to engage with new customer. Thank you Mirik, Rohan and Sreenivas for the opportunity.

Bhimashankar Wangaskar
CEO, Thermistance, India

SCALE provided a platform to showcase the cutting edge in sustainable innovation and connect with industry stakeholders from across the world.

Cai Linton
CEO, Multus, UK

Fantastic event, especially for climate tech startups. Learnt a lot and no other event had the same turnout or the same spread of stakeholders under one roof! Looking forward to next year’s event!

Suruchi Rao
Ossus Biorenewables, India

Learnt a lot. Saw the deeptech might on display, loved it. A few engineering collabs on the way. Met a few investors – one might invest. very good output and experience of meeting likeminded folks. Spectrum Impact team really pulled this off in the first attempt itself!

Gagan Agrawal
Planet Electric Inc, India

I was honestly surprised by the amount of work that has been happening in the space. The participation was healthy and diverse. I have already mentioned possible areas for improvement above. The logistics, exhibition-cum-booth set-up, time allotted for interaction, scheduling was nearly perfect for such a grand scheme of things. The idea to invest (time, network, capital, etc) in upcoming yet unproven technologies that are currently under-indexed is quite novel and commendable contribution to the overall ecosystem. Kudos to the team SCALE and I look forward to staying relevant alongside you folks!

Devesh Kabra
Ascent Capital, India

We were delighted by how many interesting startups and innovations there were.

Sam Levac-Levey

SCALE@ChemTECH was extremely useful for our company. In addition to interesting speakers across the climate tech space, we made connections with equipment suppliers, process engineering firms, and potential operational partners throughout the ChemTECH exhibition hall. In the week following we have already met with potential partners for our demo facility.

Jacob Roberts
Co-founder & CTO, AlkaLi Labs, USA

It was my first experience for SCALE and ChemTECH and it was a whole different experience. I met so many vendors who could benefit my firm directly and indirectly. The presentations were about the teething issues world is facing today for climate change and came to know so much about how technology is trying to address it in innovative ways. If I am a company looking or offering solutions for NET ZERO, this is the best place to find your supply chain partners, technology partners, and customers. Would recommend everyone in this space to visit future editions of SCALE.

Anuj Choudhary
Sr. Project Engineer, Shell, India

I was pleasantly surprised by the community that was present at the event. I was able to reconnect with my existing network and make new connections and meet people doing fascinating work. The sessions had a high signal ratio and the focus on science and science-based tools was great.
