The funding was led by Big Global JSC, with an existing backer also participating.

It later shifted focus to enterprise energy management solutions for hospitality, co-living, retail, and commercial sectors.
Current Operations and Environmental Impact
The startup now oversees more than 150,000 active IoT assets across over 20 Indian cities.
Aliste manages roughly 3 million units of energy each month, preventing about 328,000 kilograms of CO2 emissions.
Its retrofit IoT technology converts existing appliances into smart devices without costly rewiring or structural changes.
Strategic Use of Funds and Market Relevance
