Company profile
researched Aug 2026Arkahub, operating as Interglacial Renewable Technologies Pvt. Ltd., is a Bengaluru-headquartered residential energy company founded in 2025 by Manish Pansari and Kaustabh Chakraborty. It sells rooftop solar systems to Indian homeowners and manages the full ownership lifecycle, including digital system design, site assessment, permits and DISCOM regulatory approvals, installation, grid connection, performance monitoring and ongoing maintenance. Typical residential installations are priced between INR 2 lakh and INR 5 lakh depending on system size and components, with quotes customised to a household's energy needs, and projects take roughly two to four weeks from start to finish.
The company's stated approach is to shift residential solar from bespoke, project-based installations toward standardized, branded products backed by long-term service across a system's roughly 25-year life. Its product line includes the ArkaCore floor-mounted solar structure, the ArkaSky elevated solar structure and the ArkaScape gazebo solar structure, designed for different rooftop configurations. Post-installation services include panel health checks and professional cleaning for a defined period. Arkahub describes a longer-term plan to extend beyond generation into a unified home energy platform — referred to as a "Home Energy OS" — covering solar generation, battery storage for night-time use and grid independence, and software-driven energy management through a single interface.
Founding story
Arkahub was founded in 2025 by Manish Pansari, previously a leader at Myntra and a consultant at Kearney with supply chain and operations experience, and Kaustabh Chakraborty, an early Urban Ladder team member who subsequently held leadership roles at Wakefit. The founders frame home energy as the last major household utility yet to be consumerised, aiming to make adopting solar comparable in simplicity to buying furniture or apparel online.
Business model
Arkahub operates a direct-to-consumer model, selling solar panel systems and associated mounting structures to homeowners, with transactions occurring directly between the company and the household. It bundles design, installation, regulatory approvals and post-installation servicing (including panel health checks and cleaning for a specified duration) into the offering, and plans physical experience stores as an additional customer touchpoint.
Revenue is derived primarily from the direct sale of residential solar panel systems, with typical installations ranging from INR 200,000 to INR 500,000 depending on system size and components, quoted on a customised, transparent-pricing basis.
Traction
Residential installations are typically completed in two to four weeks and priced at INR 2-5 lakh; the company reports an established customer base among families in Bengaluru.
Latest developments
In January 2026 Arkahub raised $2 million (INR 18.3 crore) in a seed round led by Kae Capital with participation from Sparrow Capital and Antler, to be used for scaling its rooftop solar offering, strengthening execution capabilities across product engineering, installation and service operations, supply chain and vendor partnerships, launching physical experience stores, and developing its broader home energy platform. The company has stated plans to launch additional products and to expand into Indian cities beyond Bengaluru.

Market position
Arkahub addresses the residential segment of India's solar market, where rooftop potential is estimated at around 500 GW but household adoption remains below 1%, attributed to fragmented vendors, subsidy paperwork and weak long-term maintenance support. India's overall solar capacity stood at 129 GW and non-fossil electricity capacity above 259 GW — more than half of installed power capacity — as of October 2025. The company positions itself against a cleantech field where most peers focus on commercial-scale offerings.
The company differentiates on a full-stack, product-led model: standardized branded systems instead of custom projects, in-house handling of design, DISCOM approvals, installation and monitoring, and committed proactive maintenance over the asset's 25-year life rather than reliance on local contractors.
Technology
The offering combines hardware — the ArkaCore floor-mounted, ArkaSky elevated and ArkaScape gazebo solar structures engineered for different rooftop configurations — with a digital layer covering system design, proactive performance monitoring and planned energy-management insights. The company's stated roadmap adds integrated battery storage and a single digital interface through which households can generate, store and manage power.
Go-to-market
Direct business-to-consumer sales with transparent, customised quotes and end-to-end managed installation; seed proceeds are earmarked in part for launching physical experience stores alongside strengthening product engineering, installation and service operations, supply chain and vendor partnerships.
Homeowners and families in urban India, initially concentrated in Bengaluru, seeking rooftop solar generation for their residences.
Geography
Headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, with its initial customer base concentrated in the city and stated plans to expand into additional Indian urban markets.
