Where

India is our field base, and we run the company from GIFT City, in Gujarat. Our first projects are sought in six states: Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Haryana. Alongside our own projects, we are building services for project owners in India and abroad, and relationships with buyers in India, the Gulf and wider markets. The long-term direction is the Global South.

How we work

Carbon credit is the noun.

Everything else we build serves the credit and the farmer behind it.

No figures here; every figure elsewhere carries its source.

This website gives direction in words. Wherever we quote a figure, in a plan or a conversation, it carries its date and its source.

We read the registry, not the press release.

What we say about this market comes from registry ledgers and primary documents, labelled as our own claim or a third party’s, with conflicts between sources named.

No yield put at risk without cover.

We do not ask a farmer to gamble a harvest on a credit.

The company

CarbonVerse Private Limited is being incorporated, with its registered office at GIFT City in the Domestic Tariff Area, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, from where we run it. Farmer organisations, buyers, partners and researchers: raj@carbonverse.earth.
