LongStraw Carbon

LongStraw is at the forefront of transforming India's agricultural waste into sustainable products that benefit both the environment and rural communities. With over 200 million tonnes of biomass generated annually, LongStraw sees this not as waste, but as a rich resource for ecological innovation and economic opportunity. Their core offering revolves around biochar, a durable and carbon-rich substance produced through pyrolysis, which not only helps in carbon sequestration but also enriches soil health, supporting local agriculture and livelihoods.

The team at LongStraw features experts from diverse backgrounds, united by a common goal of promoting sustainability. Co-founder Vineet Agarwal brings extensive experience from his previous role as CEO of a prominent data analytics company, while Anwita Mukherjee specializes in environmental law and carbon legislation. Utkarsh Raj, a chemical engineer, contributes technical expertise and venture capital knowledge to help further the company's mission. LongStraw is committed to fostering a greener future, turning agricultural byproducts into a powerful tool for climate action.
