Dashamlabs, a Delhi-based deeptech materials science startup specializing in high-performance silica aerogel insulation, has raised ₹12 crore in a seed funding round led by Speciale Invest, with participation from IIMA Ventures.
The fresh capital will help the company expand R&D, scale production capacity, and build pilot systems to accelerate product validation across key industries including oil and gas, defense, and construction.
Founded in 2024 by Ankit Jhanwar, Apoorv Balwani, and Devakar Dhingra, Dashamlabs is developing advanced insulation materials that are lightweight, fire-resistant, and energy-efficient, designed to meet the growing demand for sustainable industrial solutions.
Its flagship silica aerogel boasts ultra-low thermal conductivity, temperature stability from -150°C to 1000°C, and hydrophobic properties, making it ideal for extreme industrial and mobility applications.
Using a proprietary ethanol-based supercritical drying process, the startup is also working toward ambient-pressure drying technology that could make mass production more sustainable and cost-efficient.
With a mission to make advanced, energy-efficient materials globally accessible, Dashamlabs is paving the way for cleaner, safer, and more efficient technologies in next-generation industries.
