WHO WE ARE Energeia is an Industrial Energy Savings Company. We find energy waste in factories and commercial buildings, fix it, and get paid from the savings we verify. Since 2018 we have completed 1,200+ site appraisals and 250+ energy audits, and saved customers ₹256 Crore in energy costs. We are a BEE-accredited ESCO with offices in 5 cities and technology partnerships with ABB, L&T; and GFS Corp (USA). In August 2026 we launched August Energeia with Singapore-based August Energy: a $100M platform that finances, installs and operates energy infrastructure for Indian industry, so customers pay from savings instead of upfront capex. Energeia brings the audits, engineering, sales and the IoT and AI platform behind every project.
