New Delhi: DeepLase Technologies, an IIT Delhi–incubated deep-tech photonics startup, has raised ₹6 crore in a seed funding round co-led by Mounttech Growth Fund – Kavachh and Yali Capital.
The funding marks a significant milestone for DeepLase Technologies as it continues to advance its work in optical fiber platforms, high-performance fiber lasers, and integrated photonics systems.
The newly raised capital will enable DeepLase Technologies to expand its engineering and manufacturing capabilities, accelerate product commercialization, and scale deployments across high-impact sectors.
These include precision industrial automation, optical communications, advanced sensing, quantum technologies, and healthcare instrumentation, positioning DeepLase Technologies at the forefront of next-generation photonics innovation.
Founded by Dr. Deepak Jain, a faculty member at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, DeepLase Technologies focuses on designing specialty optical fibers and fiber-laser platforms engineered for high stability, energy efficiency, spectral precision, and long-term operational reliability.
The company’s core mission is to develop advanced photonics solutions tailored for real-world industrial and scientific applications.

As global data consumption rises and artificial intelligence infrastructure expands, DeepLase Technologies is addressing the growing demand for advanced optical technologies.
Data centers, telecommunications networks, and AI hardware platforms increasingly depend on photonic components capable of delivering higher bandwidth, lower latency, and improved energy efficiency.
DeepLase Technologies is developing specialty optical fiber platforms to meet these evolving performance requirements.
Laser technologies have become foundational across sectors such as precision manufacturing, semiconductor fabrication, medical diagnostics, sensing, and optical communications.
However, many existing systems are optimized for laboratory environments and remain complex to integrate. DeepLase Technologies aims to bridge this gap by building scalable, robust laser architectures suited for industrial deployment.
“Our goal is to build laser platforms that combine advanced optical fiber design, novel materials engineering, and robust system-level reliability,” said Dr. Deepak Jain, Founder and Director of DeepLase.
“As industries and research domains become increasingly dependent on controlled light sources, the demand for stable, scalable, and application-ready laser systems is growing rapidly. We are developing technologies that deliver high performance while remaining practical for deployment in demanding industrial environments.”

Investors view DeepLase Technologies as part of a broader shift toward deep-tech innovation emerging from India’s academic ecosystem, particularly in photonics and advanced manufacturing.
“Photonics technologies are becoming foundational infrastructure for modern industry, powering everything from advanced manufacturing and telecommunications to sensing and next-generation computing systems,” said Raj Sethia, Managing Partner and Co-Founder at Mounttech Growth Fund – Kavachh.
“DeepLase is building core intellectual property in a strategic technology domain where global demand continues to grow rapidly. We are excited to support Dr. Deepak Jain and his team as they work to build globally competitive photonics technologies from India.”
“Photonic technologies hold enormous potential, and many of their most transformative applications are still emerging,” said Ganapathy Subramaniam, Co-founder & Managing Partner, Yali Capital.
“DeepLase approaches photonics design from first principles, combining deep scientific expertise with a clear pathway toward commercialization. The team brings together strong research capability with an understanding of real-world deployment challenges, positioning them well to translate advanced photonics into scalable industrial platforms. We believe Dr. Deepak Jain and his team have the potential to deliver photonics technologies at a global scale.”
Prior to this funding round, DeepLase Technologies received support through multiple government innovation and deep-tech commercialization programs. This backing reinforces the company’s mission to develop indigenous, high-value photonics technologies with global relevance.
Looking ahead, DeepLase Technologies aims to build globally competitive photonics infrastructure from India, enabling next-generation optical systems that support advanced computing, communications, industrial manufacturing, and scientific discovery.
