With 14 technology-driven carbon initiatives implemented across India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Kenya, Varaha focuses on regenerative agriculture, afforestation, biochar, and enhanced rock weathering. To date, the company has helped transition over 100,000 smallholder farmers to sustainable agricultural practices, removing more than two million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions (CO?e) from the atmosphere.
