YOGa Clean Air Raises ₹20 Cr Series A from Info Edge Ventures
YOGa Clean Air has raised ₹20 Cr (around $2.1 Mn) in its Series A round, the clean tech startup’s first external funding. The round was led by Info Edge Ventures, with participation from Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal and Three Words Capital.
The raise was structured as a mix of primary and secondary transactions: ₹10 Cr in primary capital and ₹10 Cr through secondary deals.
Building-wide clean air systems
YOGa builds indoor air-quality systems designed to clean the air across an entire room or building instead of treating only a limited area like a conventional air purifier.
Its Clean Air Bubble system filters outdoor air before bringing it indoors and uses positive air pressure to keep polluted air from entering through doors, gaps, and other openings. The system also monitors and manages carbon dioxide (CO2) levels to keep indoor air fresh.
The system can be installed through a small opening in a wall or glass. YOGa claims it can deliver equivalent air quality across a house in about 55 minutes while using roughly 70 watts of electricity during continuous operation. It follows a service-led model instead of a one-time hardware sale.

Rising B2B demand
The company’s systems are already operational across 11 Indian cities, serving around 5,000 families, schools, offices, hospitals, and gyms. It has undertaken projects for government institutions, including deploying its systems in parts of the Delhi High Court, and has signed projects with real estate players.
“Earlier, we were mostly doing retail. Now B2B is actually shifting. Orders are coming from large real estate projects and institutions,” founder and CEO Sachin Panwar told Inc42. Panwar said the startup is eyeing ₹100 Cr in revenue this year.
YOGa plans to deepen its presence in existing markets and expand to new Tier I and tier II cities. It also said that a chunk of the capital will be used to deploy its clean air solutions on public transport and at other outdoor spaces.
Indoor air-quality solutions
The fundraise comes as persistent pollution is pushing demand for indoor air-quality solutions beyond conventional air purifiers. As per reports, India’s air purifier market is projected to become a $1.2 Bn opportunity by 2030.
YOGa Clean Air competes with domestic startups such as Airth, Clairco, Ubreathe, and Atovio, which offer indoor air-purification solutions ranging from AC retrofitting to plant-based technology.
