2 years ago, I met @Shauryapranos and @roshgor over idlis at Airlines. They were planning to build a fusion energy company in India. There was no ecosystem for it, no playbook, no capital.
Most people I mentioned it to thought I'd lost the plot. No investment committee would have approved a pre-seed cheque into an Indian nuclear fusion startup in 2024. It would've been laughed out of the room.
What I saw, however, was two people who understood fusion physics and engineering at a level that made me feel like a student again.
Two athletes who had decided that this was the Marathon of their life.
@industrial47 wrote the first cheque.
Today, they are a team of 8 PhDs with an integrated fusion development stack, a Tokomak reactor about to hit first plasma and have just raised a $6.8Mn round.
Congratulations Roshan, Shaurya and team @PranosFusion!
The hard part is ahead, but I wouldn't bet against you two.
Welcome to the grand run - @piventures, @ankurcapital, @lkeshre, @MarsShotVC, @shashank_kr, @harshilmathur, @shashankmehta05 and @npbhukhanwala.
We’ve raised $6.8M to accelerate our high field fusion reactor technology.
Backed by @piventures,@ankurcapital & @industrial47.
This is just the beginning. First plasma coming up next !
📢@PranosFusion @ FusionX:Singapore. @FusionXInvest
Our CEO and Co-founder Shaurya Kaushal @Shauryapranos will be attending this event of the FusionX Roadshow series, co-hosted by @SGInnovate as a partner event at the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) 2025 @SwitchSingapore .
If you’re around and curious about #PranosFusion as well as the Indian Fusion landscape, catch him at Marina Bay Sands on October 30 to chit-chat about funding the future - FUSION.

Dear Fusion Fam,
Are you enjoying our community reading series, #PranosReads? 📖
Ready for Round 2 ⁉️
After kicking things off with the physics of fusion, it’s time to dig into some techy stuff 🛠️.
📚Book 2: Fundamentals of Magnetic Fusion Technology (IAEA) edited by Guido Van Oost, compiles the nuts and bolts of fusion: Plasma Confinement → Reactor Materials.
🔗Read here: https://t.co/nA7wHie4sf
Keep reading. Knowledge is wealth. Share your wealth.

Indian Fusion Startup - On a Global Stage
Overjoyed to announce that two of our research articles have been selected for presentation at the 30th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference (#FEC2025), one of the world’s leading gatherings for fusion energy innovation to be held in Chengdu, People’s Republic of China, from October 13 -18, 2025.
📃1: “Pranos Fusion : India’ s pathway to commercial fusion” by @roshgor, @Shauryapranos, Animesh Kuley @IiscPtg
📄2: “Beyond finite-differences : A lattice Boltzmann approach for solving Fokker-Planck Equations in Magnetic Fusion” by @Shauryapranos , @SAnsumali , Sauro Succi
As one of the few private Indian fusion companies on such a prestigious global platform, @PranosFusion marks a proud milestone representing 🇮🇳 India in the global mission to advance fusion energy.

The @Fusion_Industry 2025 Global Fusion Industry Report is out!
@PranosFusion proudly features among 53 global fusion companies fueling the race to commercial fusion.
Here’s what stood out in the report👇:
-💰 $2.5bn invested in fusion in the past year alone
- 35 companies aim to launch pilot plants by 2035
- Fusion targets sectors behind >30% of global CO₂.
- 🇮🇳 India is now on the fusion map! #PranosFusion is among the few Asian startups advancing this revolution.
Big shoutout to @industrial47 for backing us;
Not just with Capital, but with Conviction.
It takes guts to bet on the future. We’re building it together.

We are in today’s Hindu Business Line — a step forward in the conversation around fusion energy in India ☀️
With scientific support and incubation from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), and early backing from Industrial47, fusion innovation is being built right here in India.
See what Prof Santosh Ansumali and Rahul Seth has to say — full article below.
The future IS fusion! And it’s closer than we think.

Enough talk. Time to do.
🚨Launching the G10 Fellowship.
Step 1 in our plan to build an Industrial India.
Deets:
1) 4 months (May-August), sitting in the cockpit of India's best deeptech start ups.
2) $5K Fellowship Stipend.
3) An insatiable urge to build and the courage to tolerate what comes when you do.
Who is it for:
1) Indians studying abroad. BS, MS & PhD.
3) Indians with admits to colleges abroad, willing to defer or give it up.
3) An MBA is the only disqualifier.
Our 10 Hosts:
@SkyrootA, RekiSe Marine, @PranosFusion, @PopVaxIndia, @PixxelSpace, @Digantarahq, @ati_motors, @AltCarbonIndia and 2 more coming soon :)
The best of the best are coming home, where are you?
