Gati Drives builds rare-earth-free electric motors for Indian appliance and HVAC manufacturers
aiindiastartups
Summary
The Ahmedabad-based company says its single-phase motors can match brushless efficiency without neodymium magnets, and it recently raised a pre-seed round from Campus Fund.
Why it matters
Gati Drives sits in the kind of hardware category investors like when there is a clear cost, supply-chain, or efficiency advantage. The pitch is tangible, not abstract.
Founder/operator read
If you sell into manufacturing, the story has to be legible in BOM savings, energy savings, or reliability — that is what will survive diligence.
