Ayyan Karmakar - Founder and CEO, TAFCO

Ayyan Karmakar

Founder and CEO, TAFCO

I'm building TAFCO to solve a problem that affects most people in India: the lack of a trusted, scientifically backed air quality brand.

I spent 14 years deploying cleantech solutions that impacted over 1 million people across $20M+ in projects:

Oizom: Scaled from 100 deployments in 2 countries → 1,500+ deployments in 60 countries (Chief Sales Officer, CMO, Chief of Staff, Project Manager)

Airvoice (Intelligent CityAir): Built India operations from ground zero as COO, introduced IAQ solutions, established thought leadership at major cleantech conferences

Praan: Led operations for VC-backed deep-tech startup and generated 100+ SQLs in 3 days at our first industrial expo

Current Focus:
Raising our pre-seed round to launch products in the consumer space. We're not just selling products; we're building India's first expert-backed air quality platform.
