Varaha Secures $20M Series B for Climate Tech Scale
Varaha, the Indian climate tech firm pioneering carbon measurement and removal solutions for agriculture and forestry, has raised $20 million in a Series B funding round to accelerate its nature-based carbon marketplace across Asia and beyond.
Carbon Marketplaces Empower Smallholder Farmers
Founded by IIT alumni tackling India’s 1.4 billion-tonne emissions challenge, Varaha deploys remote sensing, satellite data, and blockchain-verified MRV (measurement, reporting, verification) to certify carbon credits from regenerative practices like agroforestry and soil sequestration on millions of smallholder acres. Their platform connects global corporates seeking net-zero compliance with verifiable offsets, delivering 3-5x higher credit prices to farmers while slashing certification costs 70% versus traditional methodologies.
Series B Fuels APAC Expansion and Tech Stack
Capital expands satellite constellation partnerships, AI-driven yield prediction models, and regulatory sandboxes in Southeast Asia’s $10 billion voluntary carbon market. The round positions Varaha to capture India’s mandated Scope 3 disclosures and CBAM compliance needs for exporters.
Varaha proves climate tech scales through farmer-first infrastructure. $20 million unlocks 100 million tonnes of certified sequestration annually, turning rural soil into global carbon wealth from Gangetic plains to corporate balance sheets.
