Ziraaf

The world is undergoing two major transitions: 1. Energy Transition : From a 15% share of renewable energy today to 70% by 2050. 2. Explosion of AI : Requiring more processing capacity, motherboards, and energy. We are moving from an economy where fossil fuels are extracted and depleted to a circular economy where critical metals (Li, Cu, Co, Ni, Al, RE, Au, Ag, Si, Ti) are used once, stored for energy, and recycled at end-of-life. This $30T gap between demand and supply of these metals must be solved. Ziraaf is accelerating the discovery of new-age minerals by blending geological data with AI. Using our patented AI model "Falcon 360", we are exploring in multiple countries across Asia & SEA. Founded in Sep 2022 by Narahari Payala, Saurabh Gupta, Imthiaz Ahmed, and Sowrabh NRS, the team has built 7 unicorns. After closing seed funding in Sep 2023, Ziraaf is expanding operations globally.
