Campaign Story

Climes is on a bold mission to build a global climate finance highway that rapidly connects businesses and individuals to high-impact climate projects. Founded in 2021 by Anirudh Gupta and Siddhanth Jayaram, this Delhi-based ClimateTech startup is redefining how capital flows into carbon removal, ecosystem restoration, and clean energy initiatives .

Here’s how Climes empowers stakeholders:

1. Data-Driven Carbon Intelligence

With tools like Carbon Counter and Climes API, clients—from logistics firms to e-commerce platforms—can accurately measure their emissions and offer carbon-neutral options at checkout. These transparent, traceable data systems enable businesses to quantify their environmental footprint across transport, operations, and products .

2. Engaging Climate Actions & Offsets

Climes democratizes climate action through intuitive products like Climes LITE, a gamified experience where businesses assign climate credits (Climes) as rewards or incentives to customers. These credits are redeemable for impactful carbon avoidance or removal projects—turning sustainability into a fun, participatory journey .

3. Transparent Funding of Verified Climate Projects

Their platform offers access to local and global carbon projects—from reforestation and clean cookstoves to waste-to-energy—verified by standards like Verra. Every purchase links back to a measurable environmental outcome, ensuring integrity and confidence for brands and their customers .

4. Trust Through Tech & Transparency

Climes is building a climate finance infrastructure rooted in accountability. Their proprietary Digital Measurement–Reporting–Verification (dMRV) tool enables seamless onboarding of beneficiaries, project tracking, risk monitoring, and automated reporting—all traceable to tangible environmental data points .

5. Momentum and Market Trust

In 2022, Climes raised $1.2M in seed funding backed by marquee investors like Sequoia Capital India, Rainmatter Capital, Kalaari Capital, Avaana Capital, and Nithin Kamath. Trusted by over 60 mid-market and enterprise clients—including MakeMyTrip, Marico, Wipro, WeWork India, and more—the platform has enabled the removal of 5.5 million kg of CO₂e so far .

Why Climes Matters

As the world stands on the brink of a climate tipping point, Climes empowers businesses to act—fast, traceably, and with tangible outcomes. Whether you’re a logistics provider looking to offset your carbon footprint or a brand seeking to gamify sustainability for your customers, Climes makes climate action accessible, scalable, and impactful.
