Carbon Credits That Feed Families

Carbon removal doesn't have to mean billion-dollar machines. Equilibrium is taking a different path — building large-scale carbon removal and decarbonization projects across India through agroforestry, regenerative agriculture, mangrove restoration, and biochar, working directly with over 150,000 smallholder farmers across nine Indian states.

The $3M seed was backed by Kalaari Capital, Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia India), and Avaana Capital. Founder Siddhanth Jayaram, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and former VC at Kalaari Capital, previously co-founded Climes, a consumer carbon offsetting platform. He founded Equilibrium in 2024 after seeing firsthand the gap between carbon market ambition and on-the-ground execution.

Full-Stack Carbon Infrastructure

What sets Equilibrium apart is its full-stack approach: integrating carbon science, digital monitoring and verification (dMRV), and blended-finance structures to deliver verified carbon credits while simultaneously building food-supply resilience for Indian farmers. With 120,000 hectares in its pipeline, the company is on track to deliver over a million verified carbon credits per year and remove more than 20 million tonnes of carbon.
