Climate-tech venture Equilibrium has closed a $3 million institutional round, attracting investments from Kalaari Capital, Avaana Capital, and Peak XV Partners.
The fresh infusion will enable the startup to advance its technology stack, accelerate work on eight active carbon removal programs, and broaden its operational reach.
Founded in 2024 by Siddhanth Jayaram, Equilibrium positions itself as a full-stack carbon removal platform for enterprises pursuing net-zero targets. The company designs, implements, and monitors projects in agroforestry, regenerative agriculture, mangrove restoration, and biochar, directly engaging with more than 60,000 farmers and coastal communities.
Equilibrium follows an end-to-end approach—building projects, digitizing performance tracking, and creating verified carbon credits or removal units, which are then sold to corporates and institutions with emission reduction mandates.
The company claims its existing project pipeline can collectively offset over 20 million tonnes of CO₂ in the long term.
Currently active across nine Indian states—including Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, and Gujarat—the startup is preparing to extend operations into Nepal and Sri Lanka in the coming quarters.
By combining community-led practices with technology-driven verification, Equilibrium is working to make carbon removal scalable, measurable, and investable.
