Founded in 2024, the Bengaluru-based company offers full-stack carbon removal solutions for clients aiming to achieve net-zero emissions. Its initiatives span agroforestry, regenerative farming, planting mangroves, and biochar projects, reaching more than 60,000 farmers and coastal communities.
“Our operations team handles the planting and management of the plantations, while our technology tracks their progress. Once the carbon credits are generated, we sell the carbon-removal units to major customers. Our clients range from project financiers who support carbon-removal initiatives to large tech firms and oil companies with net-zero targets,” said Jayaram.
The company provides solutions that remove carbon, increase farmer income, and turn agricultural and biomass waste into usable products. It has a pipeline of projects expected to achieve over 20 million tonnes of long-term CO2 removal.
Climate change is putting India’s food security at risk, with higher temperatures, irregular rainfall, and increasingly severe weather reducing crop yields, the company said. According to Jayaram, the carbon market could exceed $50 billion by 2040.
The company is currently operating in nine states, including Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, and Gujarat. “We want to double down in India and possibly expand into south Asian countries such as Nepal or Sri Lanka over the next two to three quarters’’, he added.
Commenting on the investment, Sampath P, partner, Kalaari Capital said, “It pairs deep agricultural and carbon science with a digitally-enabled operating system that makes on-ground implementation partners effective at scale. We see Equilibrium as a climate-resilience-first blueprint for strengthening nature-based solutions that carbon (credit) buyers can rely on for durable outcomes’’.
