Varaha, a pioneering Indian company developing carbon removal projects across Asia, has secured a multimillion-dollar project investment from UK-based investment manager Conductor Capital. This strategic funding will enable Varaha to expand its portfolio of carbon projects, reaching a larger network of farmers and extending its impact across India, Nepal, and other regions. 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. Notably, Varaha was the first project developer in India to issue carbon removal credits for biochar under the Puro.Earth registry. A major milestone in Varaha’s journey came in January 2025, when the company sold 100,000 carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits to Google, marking Google’s first-ever large-scale purchase of carbon removal credits in India.
