About us
People4Planet is a social enterprise on a Mission to empower a billion consumers to make sustainable purchase and lifestyle choices.
We are striving to bring People in harmony with the Planet through tech-led innovation in energy, environment and sustainability sectors. We have developed CarbonShunya - India’s 1st solution that can measure and mitigate the carbon emissions of every Rupee spent by consumers in real-time.
Our Vision is to make it easy and rewarding for consumers to be green in their everyday life by enabling green choices during the product lifecycle (i.e. purchase, post-purchase and disposal of goods/services).
We believe that CarbonShunya can reorient consuming societies to embrace conserving behaviours. Thereby, transition to a Net Zero future.
We are working to kickstart a movement. One that can transform and catapult India on a greener growth trajectory.
