Quintrans raises $750K in pre-seed round led by Capital-A

Quintrans, a deep tech engineering startup developing India-built direct-drive linear motion systems for industrial automation, robotics and equipment manufacturing, has raised $750K in a pre-seed funding round led by Capital-A along with participation from Sumeet Kabra of RR Global, SanchiConnect, AIC-Pinnacle, existing partner IIMA Ventures and others.

The proceeds  will be used to establish an in-house manufacturing and advanced testing facility in Pune, accelerate R&D across electromagnetic actuation, and build the core engineering and operations team required for commercial rollout, Quintrans said in a press release.

Co-founded in 2021 by Pranay Luniya, Kartik Kulkarni, Aniruddha Atigre, and Prasanna Kadambi, Quintrans is a deep tech engineering company developing direct-drive electromagnetic linear motion systems for industrial applications. Its technology enables frictionless, high-speed and ultra-precise motion for robotics, warehouse automation and manufacturing environments.

As per market research, India manufactured and sold roughly 6.8 million actuators in FY 2022, a figure expected to cross 10–11 million units by FY 2026, driven by automotive, industrial automation, HVAC and marine applications. 

According to the Pune-based startup, its design and manufacturing model unlocks cost efficiency, tailored deployments and assured service. It takes an engineering-first approach, developing the hardware and control electronics in-house so customers get a complete, integrated solution.

Quintrans is part of MaXcel, the hardware and industrial technology accelerator run by Capital-A and SanchiConnect, supporting startups building engineering-led manufacturing solutions.
