In the rapidly evolving landscape of climate action, the “carbon credit” has become a vital currency. But as the market matures, a critical question echoes from boardrooms to farm gates: How do we prove that a ton of carbon removed is actually a ton of carbon removed? For smallholder farmers in India, the answer isn’t …
Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) lies at the heart of sustainable agriculture and climate resilience. As a critical indicator of soil health, it dictates water retention, nutrient availability, and crop productivity. However, for the global carbon market, SOC is more than a metric, it is a powerful tool for mitigating climate change by sequestering atmospheric CO2 …
Measuring Soil Carbon: A Scalable MRV Framework for Smallholder Farmers Read More »
Ummeed, the word means hope in Hindi. It’s also the name we gave to our second soil carbon project, registered under Verra’s VM0042 methodology across Maharashtra and Gujarat. The name wasn’t accidental. When we launched Aadi in Northern India, we were proving a hypothesis: that high-integrity, smallholder soil carbon credits could be delivered at scale in India under the world’s most demanding voluntary …
New Delhi, January 15, 2026 Indian agriculture has reached a major milestone with the approval of Aadi project (VCS 2590), a regenerative agriculture soil-carbon project developed by Grow Indigo under the world’s leading voluntary carbon standard, Verra. This approval confirms that high-integrity, science-led soil carbon credits can be delivered at scale in India, creating a …
Sustained impact is rooted in consistent effort and accurate data. We’re committed to both at Grow Indigo, ensuring precision in everything we do. Digital MRV (dMRV) is key to maintaining and continually improving the overall scientific rigour of our projects. In carbon farming, every grain of soil represents a farmer’s dedication to climate action. However, …
Gurbir Kaur might carry the weight of familial responsibilities on her young shoulders, but she no longer has to walk through waterlogged rice fields. Her health is improving, and she is now more present for her family. Has there been any compromise on farm yield? No. In fact, it has been a productive year. The …

We’re often asked how agriculture, which, along with forestry and other land use (AFOLU), accounts for 22% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, can contribute to climate action. The answer is nuanced yet simple. Regenerative practices reduce GHG emissions and sequester carbon in the soil. Combined with other interventions, they significantly lessen agriculture’s environmental impact. But …
Grow Indigo’s Approach to Authentic Regenerative Agriculture Read More »
Grow Indigo has conceptualized the concept of farming carbon as a crop for small holder farmers in India. When implemented on 120 million acres of cropland in India, a 1% increase in soil carbon would remove 7+ gigaton carbon dioxide equivalent from the atmosphere,” the company said.
Agritech startup Grow Indigo has raised over $6 million in the recent funding round with a cumulative capital raise thus far of over $13 million, the company informed through a media release.
SOC refers to “The carbon stored in the soil in the form of organic matter, such as decomposed plant and animal materials”. Implementing SOC-focused strategies can have multiple benefits, including enhancing soil health, improving water retention, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing the amount of carbon storage in the soil thus, increasing the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change impacts. Necessitating a shift to regenerative agricultural practices that improve SOC is the most critical pathway to rejuvenating the soil.
