About the Company:

SafEarth is a market network that helps industries in reducing their carbon footprints by transitioning to renewable energy in an easy and hassle free manner. Our marketplace for Rooftop Solar allows industries to find the best quality solar plant at the lowest possible price and get it installed without any hassles.

We are on a mission to empower the industries of the world to reduce their emissions and become an engine to move humanity towards a sustainable future.

We are today, India’s largest platform for the adoption of clean energy. We have helped install over 150MWs of distributed solar, and save nearly 200,000 Tonnes of carbon emissions per year. In the process we have worked with numerous Fortune 500 clients, Indian corporates, large MNCs and growing MSMEs.

SafEarth has been profitable for the last 3 years and has grown very healthily organically during this time. The company has recently raised an Undisclosed investment to fuel its growth into the future.

The Why?

Industries are a leading source of carbon emissions (responsible directly or indirectly for over 70% of emissions). Energy consumption in industries accounts for nearly 50% of the carbon emissions of manufacturing. Hence, reducing this emission, is a key to fighting climate change.

This emission can easily be substituted by renewable energy. Fortunately, Renewable energy is the cheapest source of power today in most of the world. Despite this, over 90% of all industries that considered buying a solar plant in India in the last 1 year, did not end up buying it.

In the 21st century, as the world moves towards a sustainable future, consumers and businesses will buy products and services that they have never bought before. We are building a platform that helps them in doing so easily and efficiently.
