Eureka moment
Identification of gap in real on-ground actions towards net zero by organisations. This prompted us to start our journey to enable companies in achieving rapid decarbonisation.
How does it work?
We capture all sustainability and ESG related data from a company using our data processor followed by comprehensive data analysis.
This analysis provides key insights into current carbon emissions and ESG actions of a company on which the decarbonisation strategy can be based.
Once this strategy is identified, we help the company make a detailed decarbonisation roadmap and work closely with them- through on-ground actions, carbon accounting, data management, documentation and reporting to ensure they reach net zero.
Business model
- Annual/quarterly subscription to the data processor as either a basic, essential, advanced model- building up LTV for each customer
- Increase in number of active subscribers and users to achieve wider reach, uptake and impact at a consistently low CAC
- Full stack of Sustainability & ESG Consulting Services
There is an immense scope in Clean Tech and Sustainability space as more and more companies take up disclosures and net zero targets. With strong regulatory push from governments and international bodies, this is a major market for the future.
Community support
Mentoring, funding and accelerator programs along with assistance in building a tech team and our software.
