Climate- tech startup Varaha has raised $45 million, and close of the initial tranche of $20 million, led by WestBridge Capital.<\/p>\n

The carbon removal projects developer said that the freshly raised funds will be deployed for geographic expansion, to strengthen its scientific and MRV capabilities, and scale a new industrial partnership model. The startup has long-term carbon offtake agreements with U.S. technology behemoths Google and Microsoft, as well as a major U.S.-based aviation company.<\/p>\n

Varaha develops carbon removal projects across four pathways: Biochar, Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation (ARR); Regenerative Agriculture, and Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW).<\/p>\n

RTP Global, which led Varaha\u2019s Series A, has also joined the round with a super pro-rata investment. The round also saw participation from Omnivore who were among the early-stage investors in Varaha.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2022, Varaha is headquartered in Gurgaon, India, and operates over 20 carbon projects across India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and the Ivory Coast. <\/p>\n

As part of its next phase of growth, Varaha is launching the Varaha Industrial Partners Program (VIPP), a biochar-focused partnership model for industrial operators globally. Through VIPP, partners with gasification capabilities and access to sustainable biomass can leverage Varaha\u2019s expertise in digital Measurement, Reporting & Verification (MRV) and carbon credit origination.<\/p>\n
