Who We Are
We are a team of data scientists, engineers, and climate-tech innovators united by a single mission: to turn every farm into a powerhouse for climate restoration. Based in the heart of India's agricultural belt, we are building the bridge between grassroots farming and the global carbon economy.
Our Story
MANKHE was founded on a simple observation: the people who steward our lands and produce our food are the most vulnerable to climate change, yet they hold the most powerful key to solving it.
We saw a critical gap—global climate finance was not reaching smallholder farmers because there was no way to verify their on-the-ground impact with scientific rigor. Our journey began in the paddy fields of Chhattisgarh, working hand-in-hand with farming communities. It led us to the development of our Proprietary dMRV Technology, designed to bring 100% transparency and trust to agricultural carbon and water markets.
The Founder’s Vision
Sawan Sharma | Founder & Lead Architect
M.Tech in Environmental Engineering | B.E. in Civil Engineering
As an Environmental Engineer, Sawan combines deep technical knowledge of ecological systems with structural precision. His vision for MANKHE stems from the belief that climate action must be both scientifically rigorous and economically viable for the grassroots farmer.
By leveraging his expertise in Civil Infrastructure and Environmental Impact Assessment, Sawan is architecting a "Digitally Auditable" ecosystem. He has pioneered the use of advanced Data Mining and Geospatial Analysis to map over 625 villages, ensuring that every drop of water conserved through AWD and every gram of carbon sequestered via Biochar is tracked with engineering-grade accuracy. His mission is to dismantle the barriers between rural India and global environmental markets, turning ecological stewardship into a sustainable financial asset for the community.
Our Mission
To empower farmers globally with the digital tools and finance needed to transition to sustainable agriculture, creating a scalable solution for climate change and a resilient food system.
Our Vision
A world where agriculture is a net-positive force for the environment, where every farmer is rewarded for their ecological stewardship, and where environmental markets are built on a foundation of absolute integrity.
Our Global Blueprint
At MANKHE, we are not just solving a local problem; we are building a Global Blueprint. Our goal is to scale the "Dhamtari Model" across the Global South. By 2030, we aim to integrate millions of smallholder hectares into the international voluntary carbon market through our AWD+Biochar Synergy. We are committed to setting new international standards for 'Multi-Asset' credits—where Carbon, Methane, and Water savings are bundled into a single, high-value environmental asset recognized by global registries like ICR and Verra.
