DeepLase Technologies, a startup incubated at IIT Delhi and focused on deep-tech photonics, has secured ₹6 crore in seed funding. The round was co-led by Mounttech Growth Fund – Kavachh and Yali Capital. The company develops advanced optical fiber platforms, high-performance fiber lasers, and integrated photonics systems. Founders are Dr. Deepak Jain, a faculty member at IIT Delhi specializing in advanced optical fiber technologies and laser systems, and Mansi Jain.
The funds will support expansion of engineering and manufacturing capabilities, acceleration of product commercialization, and scaling of deployments in sectors such as precision industrial automation, optical communications, advanced sensing, quantum technologies, and healthcare instrumentation.
DeepLase concentrates on specialty optical fibers and fiber-laser platforms designed for stability, energy efficiency, spectral precision, and long-term reliability. These target applications in precision manufacturing, sensing, optical communications, semiconductor fabrication, medical diagnostics, and quantum systems.
The company addresses limitations in existing laser platforms, which are often complex to integrate and suited mainly for laboratory use. It aims to develop robust architectures suitable for industrial deployment.
Dr. Deepak Jain, Founder and Director, stated that the goal is to combine advanced optical fiber design, novel materials engineering, and system-level reliability to meet growing demand for stable, scalable laser systems in industrial environments.
Investor comments include Raj Sethia, Managing Partner and Co-Founder at Mounttech Growth Fund – Kavachh, noting photonics as foundational for manufacturing, telecommunications, sensing, and computing, with DeepLase building core IP in a high-growth domain.
Ganapathy Subramaniam, Co-founder & Managing Partner at Yali Capital, highlighted the company's first-principles approach to photonics design, integration of research expertise with commercialization pathways, and potential for scalable industrial platforms.
Prior to this funding, DeepLase received support from government innovation and deep-tech commercialization programs. The company focuses on indigenous high-value photonics technologies relevant globally, with a vision to develop optical systems for advanced computing, communications, manufacturing, and scientific discovery amid rising global data consumption and AI infrastructure needs.
