“We have great confidence in moving forward with investments in sustainable technologies. As a scientist, I have always believed in finding better ways to do things, and 5ire is committed to finding solutions for the 17 UN Sustainability Development Goals. We are assured in the abilities of the leadership team at 5ire and wish them all the very best,” Dr. Sailesh Lachu Hiranandani, chairman of the SRAM & MRAM group, said.

Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum, for example, are level-1 blockchains.

5ire, which is still pre-revenue, expects to start generating revenue from November and hit a billion-dollar revenue mark in three years.

The startup, which was founded by Indian-origin entrepreneurs, Pratik Gauri and Prateek Dwivedi, along with web3 financier Vilma Mattila, in August 2021, has become one of the fastest Indian startups to reach a $1 billion valuation.

5ire claims to be a sustainable blockchain and has built its own blockchain validating mechanism called ‘’proof of benefit’, which works along the lines of 17 UN Sustainability Development Goals and various ESG parameters.

The start-up said that the funds raised will be utilized for business expansion and extending 5ire’s footprint across Asia, North America, and Europe, with India as the hub of operations and core area of focus.
