mistEO Secures $1.9 Mn Seed Funding Led by MGF Kavachh to Expand Climate Intelligence Platform

The funding round also saw participation from Seafund and other investors. The investment was announced at Huddle Global 2026, a startup event held in Kerala.

mistEO's Climate Intelligence Platform

Founded in 2019 by Samuel John and Ambarish Narayanan, mistEO develops climate and weather intelligence solutions for businesses. The company uses artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and weather data to help organisations understand weather conditions and manage climate-related risks.

Its Climate Decision Intelligence (CDI) platform collects data from satellites, weather radars, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and ground sensors. It analyses this information to provide local weather updates and risk insights for banks, insurance companies and agricultural businesses.

The company has also developed its own weather forecasting model, called Indra. The model provides weather forecasts at a 3-kilometre resolution for three time periods: the next six hours, six to 24 hours and 24 to 48 hours.

How Will mistEO Use the Funding?

mistEO plans to use the new investment to expand its climate intelligence platform across India and other Asian markets. It will also improve its weather forecasting models and climate risk assessment technology.

The company aims to develop additional solutions for several industries, including port and shipping operations, renewable energy, logistics, transportation and flood monitoring.

These solutions are designed to help businesses prepare for extreme weather conditions, reduce potential losses and make better operational decisions.

mistEO's Partnerships and International Expansion

mistEO is working with NABARD and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on the Digital Climate Risk and Agriculture (DiCRA) initiative. The project uses climate information to support better agricultural practices and help farmers manage weather-related challenges.

The company is also expanding its presence in international markets. In Australia, its early-warning system helps cattle farmers prepare for extreme heat conditions up to seven days in advance. In Uzbekistan, it is developing weather-based insurance solutions for farmers.

In India, mistEO is working with the Indian Air Force to develop a thunderstorm forecasting model under the Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) programme. It is also developing early-warning systems for the Indian Navy.
