About KarbonWise

KarbonWise is a Mumbai-based sustainability technology company that helps enterprises measure, manage, and reduce their carbon footprint. Founded in 2023 by Arjun Vijayaragavan, KarbonWise operates as a trusted co-pilot for businesses on their journey towards achieving net-zero emissions. The platform combines data engineering, artificial intelligence, and sustainability expertise to deliver practical, actionable insights that move organisations from reporting to real decarbonisation.

What KarbonWise Does

KarbonWise is a web-based carbon accounting and ESG management platform that integrates data from multiple enterprise sources — ERP systems, procurement records, utility bills, logistics data — and applies internationally recognised methodologies to calculate Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. By automating what was previously a labour-intensive manual process, the platform enables companies to generate accurate carbon inventories in a fraction of the time, freeing sustainability teams to focus on strategy rather than spreadsheets.

The platform’s core capabilities include automated carbon accounting, life cycle analysis (LCA) modules, supply chain emissions management, ESG reporting aligned with global standards such as GHG Protocol, TCFD, BRSR, and ISO 14064, and a compliance manager that tracks regulatory requirements across jurisdictions. For mid-size suppliers in sectors such as pharmaceuticals and chemicals, KarbonWise provides dedicated tools to align with the net-zero commitments of their global enterprise customers.

Services and Products

KarbonWise offers a suite of products under its platform umbrella. The Carbon Accounting module automates the collection, validation, and calculation of greenhouse gas emissions across all three scopes. The ESG Reporting module structures and formats sustainability data for mandatory and voluntary disclosures, including India’s Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR). The Life Cycle Assessment tool evaluates the environmental impact of products, processes, and construction projects from raw material extraction to end of life — a critical tool for sectors such as construction and real estate where embodied carbon is a significant contributor to overall footprint.

The Compliance Manager tracks evolving regulatory requirements and alerts organisations to upcoming deadlines, ensuring that sustainability reporting obligations are never missed. For financial services and real estate companies managing large asset portfolios, the platform provides portfolio emissions management, enabling Scope 3 Category 15 reporting on financed and investment emissions — one of the most complex and material categories for banks, insurance companies, and property developers.

Sustainability Mission

KarbonWise was founded on the belief that the path to net-zero requires data — and that most Indian enterprises are still flying blind when it comes to understanding their true emissions profile. By making carbon accounting accessible, affordable, and accurate, KarbonWise lowers the barrier for businesses of all sizes to engage meaningfully with climate action. The company operates in India, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East, bringing a global methodology framework to local market contexts.

Founder Arjun Vijayaragavan brings a decade of sustainability consulting experience from organisations including McKinsey and Susnomics, a UAE-based low-carbon building design consultancy. This depth of domain knowledge informs the platform’s design — built not just to tick compliance boxes but to genuinely help enterprises understand where their emissions are concentrated and which reduction levers will deliver the greatest impact.

Who KarbonWise Serves

The platform is designed for mid-to-large enterprises across multiple sectors, including construction, pharmaceuticals, financial services, real estate, retail, and manufacturing. KarbonWise has already partnered with over ten clients since its launch in 2023, and the company continues to expand its footprint across Maharashtra and beyond. Whether a company is just beginning its sustainability journey or is already committed to a science-based target, KarbonWise meets them where they are and helps them move forward.

KarbonWise and the Green Economy

As India accelerates toward its 2070 net-zero target and as global supply chain transparency requirements tighten, the demand for credible, data-driven carbon accounting will only grow. KarbonWise positions itself at the intersection of sustainability and enterprise technology — a green consulting and software company that understands both the science of emissions and the operational realities of running a business. For enterprises in India looking for a practical, scalable, and trustworthy partner in decarbonisation, KarbonWise is a compelling choice.
