New Delhi [India], November 7: In a battle against the clock to combat climate change, one company born in India is showing the potential of purpose, technology, and community to achieve substantial, quantifiable change. Oyu Green, founded by Deep Ram Gupta, is transforming international response to climate by establishing an open, technology-driven climate finance platform that empowers corporations and communities to provide credible, high-impact action.
From Cornell to Climate Capital: The Founding Vision
After graduating cum laude in Environmental Engineering from Cornell University and spearheading multi-billion-dollar net-zero transformations for Fortune 100 firms on Wall Street, Deep Ram Gupta decided to come back to India to work towards a much larger goal — to create a new climate finance platform that connects global capital to local impact.
What started out as a vision to democratize access to high-quality carbon projects has fast grown into one of the fastest-growing climate finance businesses in the Global South.
Within less than two years, Oyu Green has built 15+ UN-audited climate projects in several nations — Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, South Africa, and India — spanning over 75,000 acres and mobilizing millions of dollars in climate finance.
“Climate change has to be turned from a global threat into a global opportunity,” added Deep Ram Gupta, Oyu Green’s Founder & CEO. “We are investing to launch established projects that reduce emissions but also build livelihoods, rehabilitate ecosystems, and empower communities.”
Redefining Climate Finance to Emerging Economies.
Transparency, access, and scalability have been the traditional issues that climate finance space has faced. The divide between international capital and local climate action is still very broad in the emerging markets, particularly Africa and Asia. Oyu Green’s business model tackles this head-on — leveraging technology, openness, and trust as its pillars.
Through its digitally based evidence platform, Oyu Green makes available real-time visibility to investors, businesses, and local communities of the impact of their investments. All projects are UN-verified so that they’re in line with international sustainability standards, while local partnerships guarantee bottom-up benefits.
This blend of technological accuracy and grassroots empowerment distinguishes Oyu Green from other carbon management companies. It closes the credibility gap that usually stymies climate projects in developing countries and develops a model of measurable, reportable, and verifiable change.
Global Footprint, Local Impact
From Kenyan sustainable land management initiatives to providing access to clean cooking in rural India and solar electrification in Uganda, Oyu Green’s endeavors share one common goal — quantifiable change.
In these geographies, the interventions of the company are changing lives and safeguarding nature while assisting global corporations in attaining their net-zero ambition.
By facilitating capital investment in such authenticated initiatives, Oyu Green assists companies in shifting away from carbon footprint offsetting towards making regenerative impact — converting sustainability aspirations into solid advancements.
The impact-led approach of the company has already picked up pace among global sustainability investors, development institutions, and policymakers. In the process, it has made India not only a player but a leader in climate finance innovation.
“Emerging markets are the solution to global decarbonization,” Deep continues. “Oyu Green is showing that genuine climate action need not originate in the Global North. It can — and should — be constructed in the Global South, where the need is greatest.”
Blending Technology with Transparency
What sets Oyu Green’s strategy apart as truly transformative is its digital traceability system. Utilizing blockchain-secured verification and satellite tracking, Oyu Green monitors project performance in real-time, allowing investors to see data integrity and transparency.
This digital-first approach guarantees that each dollar spent on climate action is accountable, trackable, and generates measurable outcomes — a significant leap towards rebuilding trust in the international carbon markets.
The firm’s climate intelligence solutions also break down carbon sequestration rates, land-use transitions, and community development measures — providing investors with insights into both social and environmental returns.
Building a Climate-Positive Future
Oyu Green’s journey signifies a wider trend in how companies and investors perceive sustainability — not as a regulatory requirement, but as a growth driver. Through its connection of private capital to assured-of-emissions climate projects, Oyu Green is propelling the next generation of climate entrepreneurship out of India.
With international eyes now focusing more on the Global South for climate solutions that are scalable, Oyu Green’s efforts highlight the promise of South-South collaboration. Its growth across Africa and Asia is a new chapter on cross-continental climate cooperation spurred by innovation and purpose.
Looking Ahead: From India to the World
With audacious goals to activate billions of private climate capital in the next decade, Oyu Green sees itself as the global leader in climate finance platforms from India — connecting capital, technology, and community-impact.
The mission of the company is not only to develop carbon-neutral projects, but also to trigger carbon-smart economies — where profitability, inclusivity, and sustainability go hand in hand.
As Deep recapitulates, Oyu Green is more than just a company; it’s a movement toward measurable, inclusive, and scalable action for climate.
Through the commingling of innovation with integrity, Oyu Green is a living witness to India’s emerging leadership in global transformation towards sustainability.
