By partnering with 170,000 farmers and industrial collaborators, Varaha provides internationally verified carbon removal solutions to companies like Microsoft and Google through its low-cost execution model. The new funds will be used to expand into Southeast Asian markets such as Vietnam and Indonesia, while deepening its presence in existing regions.

As global corporate demand for carbon credits grows, India is emerging as a key hub for carbon removal, leveraging its operational cost advantages and technical talent pool. Investors noted that Varaha is well-positioned to build a globally scalable and credible carbon removal platform.

Roger Luo said:Varaha’s “execution-first” model breaks cost barriers in carbon removal. Its farmer network and industrial partnerships could reshape global carbon credit supply chains, highlighting emerging markets’ pivotal role in climate infrastructure.
