India loses 668,000 hectares of forest annually. Coastal communities struggle with funding for conservation. Companies spend ₹10,000 crores on CSR but lack transparency. The government's carbon neutrality goals for 2070 seem impossible.
What if one platform could solve all these problems while making everyone profitable?
- Can't access funding despite having land and manpower
- Traditional funding takes 6-12 months with 40% middleman cuts

- No transparent tracking of afforestation projects
- ₹66,000 crore Green India Mission shows only 15% verifiable success
- Difficulty monitoring distributed conservation efforts
- Limited tools for impact measurement
