About The Challenge
The MILES (M+ Innovation Lab for Energy and Sustainability) Challenge aims to identify and provide a platform to start-ups with ready to deploy solutions in the Clean Energy ecosystem in India.
Launched by Amplus Solar (a member of
PETRONAS group) , in association with
GoMassive

"
Amplus began as a start-up with an idea in the area of distributed clean energy. One of the reasons behind our success was the support we received from mentors and investors who believed in us. With the MILES Challenge, we
wish to help other Indian start-ups in the clean energy space achieve their potential

Focus Areas
Distributed Clean Energy
Any solution that helps expedite the pace of adoption and/or adds economic and process efficiencies in the design, construction and maintenance of distributed clean energy plants for Residential and
Commercial & Industrial Consumers.
IoT Applications in Energy
Sensing and analysing data has significant, but not yet fully commercialised, use-cases in the Energy Industry. Any solution that builds on the IoT stack to enable such unlocking is sought here.
Battery Storage
Given the infirm nature of renewable power sources, storage technologies are needed to increase adoption further. We are looking at solutions in the domain of storage integration with renewables
which can be commercialised.
Electric Mobility
Any solution which has a focus on adding value to the EV Mobility Space – can be IoT applications, battery integrations, financial inclusion models, etc.
