Resilience AI Secures $1 Million in a Seed Funding Round to Advance Climate Risk Management Solutions
Bengaluru: Resilience AI, a pioneering climate risk and sustainability technology company, has raised $1 million in a seed funding round led by Kalaari Capital’s CXXO initiative, which invests in ventures led by women entrepreneurs. The round also saw participation from Java Capital. This funding will drive the development of Resilience360, offering end-to-end climate risk management for solutions for private and public enterprises.
The funds raised will primarily be utilized to enhance Resilience AI, focusing on its application in key segments such as supply chain resilience, ESG compliance, and the physical risk baseline by banking and financial services. Additionally, the company aims to co-develop solutions with its customers, expand market access, and drive research-based innovation.
Resilience360 addresses the pressing need for a proactive approach to climate resilience, enabling organizations to prepare for extreme climate events such as heatwaves, floods, cyclones, landslides, and earthquakes. By combining machine learning and deep climate analytics, the platform provides hyperlocal risk maps, automated climate risk diagnostics, and institutionalized climate action plans that integrate sustainability and climate risk standards.
Founded with the vision of building resilience at every step, Resilience AI’s mission is to prepare companies, governments, and agencies to mitigate the impact of climate shocks. Highlighting the inspiration behind the company, Samhita R, Founder Resilience AI stated, “The frequency and magnitude of extreme climate events have quadrupled over the past four decades, and conventional disaster response mechanisms are no longer sufficient. Resilience AI was born out of a need for accurate, proactive, and actionable climate risk management tools that empower organizations to take timely action. The cost of inaction is far greater than the cost of preparedness.”
Speaking on the investment, Vani Kola, Managing Director at Kalaari Capital, added, “Resilience AI is pioneering a new era in climate mitigation and adaptation, equipping organizations with tools to navigate the complexities of climate change. With $118B in uninsured losses in 2023 alone, bridging the climate protection gap and forecasting climate patterns are critical to building resilience in our built environment. At Kalaari, we value passion, foresight, and determination in founders, and Resilience’s exceptional founding team — Samhita, Anshu, and Sundeep — embody these qualities. We are thrilled to back purpose-driven entrepreneurs whose expertise and commitment will drive global progress in climate resilience.”
“We are excited to back Resilience AI as they address one of the most critical challenges faced by cities and businesses today—climate resilience. By combining hyperlocal data with AI, they empower organizations to proactively plan for and mitigate climate risks. With a founding team of industry veterans, we believe Resilience AI is poised to make a significant impact in the climate resilience space.” – Bhargavi V, Founding Partner, Java Capital
The company’s flagship product Resilience360 is designed to redefine climate adaptation as a culture through its four integrated modules: Determine, which offers hyperlocal climate risk baseline and mapping; Plan, enabling the development of tailored risk controls; Action, focused on the implementation and reporting of climate measures; and Scale, which supports ongoing monitoring and the expansion of adaptation strategies. By empowering organizations to proactively manage climate risks, Resilience AI not only safeguards lives, operations (city / business) and assets but also drives sustainable value creation for stakeholders.
