Technical Co-Founder (CTO) | Building India's Biomass Ecosystem


About Energo Biocoal


Energo Biocoal Energy Pvt. Ltd. is a ClimateTech and Clean Energy startup based in India with a mission to build the digital backbone of the biomass industry.

Every year, India generates millions of tonnes of agricultural residue, much of which is burned due to the lack of a structured ecosystem. At the same time, industries struggle with reliable access to sustainable fuel alternatives and biomass supply networks.

Our vision is to create a technology-driven ecosystem that connects farmers, biomass suppliers, aggregators, transporters, pellet manufacturers, and industrial buyers through a unified digital platform.

We are currently building the foundation for a web platform, mobile application, and automation ecosystem that will organize biomass sourcing, trading, logistics coordination, supplier onboarding, and industrial procurement.
