Climate tech startup Prithu has raised ₹10 crore in a seed funding round at a pre-money valuation of ₹30 crore, led by Transition VC.
Prior to this, the company had secured ₹38 lakh in an angel round, including support from the Startup India Seed Fund.
The fresh capital will be used to expand farmer networks, strengthen its blockchain powered MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) systems, and secure global carbon credit offtake agreements.
Founded in 2024 by Sunny Vaish, Prabal Tomar, and Abhinav Pandey, Prithu is building a full stack carbon removal platform focused on nature based solutions.
The startup works across regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, biochar, and biogas, converting these interventions into high integrity carbon credits while enabling smallholder farmers to participate in global carbon markets.
Prithu aims to sequester 20 million tonnes of CO₂e by 2030, addressing key challenges such as soil degradation, agri waste burning, and water stress.
The company operates in a rapidly growing market, with the global carbon market currently valued at $3–4 billion, expected to scale to $40–50 billion by 2030.
Over the next 12–24 months, Prithu plans to expand its footprint to 5 lakh hectares, enhance its MRV technology, secure international partnerships, and explore new geographies.
The startup competes with players such as Varaha, Grow Indigo, Mitti Labs, Equilibrium, and Boomitra in India’s emerging climate-tech ecosystem.
