Brisil Technologies, an India-based climate-tech startup focused on sustainable industrial materials, has raised ₹3 crore in a pre-seed funding round to scale its circular economy-driven solution for silica production. Founded in 2016 by Tanmay Pandya, Brisil is building a zero-waste chemical process to manufacture sustainable silica using rice husk ash, a by-product generated from power plants that process agricultural waste. With global demand for sustainable raw materials accelerating across tyres, footwear, paints, and allied industries, the company plans to expand production, strengthen execution capability, and grow its international footprint. This pre-seed round was led by Momentum Capital with participation from Fondation Botnar, signalling strong investor confidence in Brisil’s vision to decarbonise the silica value chain through cleaner manufacturing. The company will use the fresh funds to expand production capacity, build its team, and scale operations to meet rising demand, including a reported monthly demand pipeline of 6,000 metric tonnes. Brisil currently operates a commercial facility with 400 tonnes per month capacity and is planning to scale it up to 3,000–5,000 tonnes per month, with a strong focus on customers in South East Asia and Europe.
