The move aligns with BizDateUp’s “Bharat-first” technology investment strategy, which focuses on backing startups operating outside India’s major metros.

RBH Solutions specialises in vendor-agnostic, no-code RsS SCADA and analytics platforms, as well as gateway solutions designed for real-time infrastructure monitoring, control, and predictive maintenance for power utilities, railways, and smart infrastructure.

The company reports over 6,500 gateway installations and more than 650 SCADA and analytics deployments. Its client base includes large public sector and private entities such as NTPC, Power Grid Corporation of India, and BHEL, along with several Fortune 500 companies.

RBH is certified under ISO 9001, 20001, and 27001 standards, and recently received certification from DNV Labs in the Netherlands for its IEC 61850-based substation automation system.

The funding will be deployed to expand RBH’s SaaS product suite, complete its Distribution Management System (DMS) platform, build a global partner network, and develop digital twin tools for renewable energy management, the release notes.

“RBH embodies the spirit of indigenous innovation that Bharat needs. With proven product maturity, strong profitability, and a highly experienced founding team, the company is poised to scale across critical sectors like energy, water, transportation, and smart cities,” said Jeet Chandan, Managing Director, BizDateUp.
