About Us

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

CarbonMint is the result of a shared vision, a commitment to sustainability, and a journey that began with the creation of OneStraw Naturals. Co-founders Venkat Pindipolu and Prasanna Kondapaneni, who also co-founded OneStraw Naturals, brought together their passion for natural farming and decades of expertise in global technology solutions. Their experience at OneStraw Naturals instilled a deep respect for the environment and a desire to create scalable, impactful solutions for the farming ecosystem.  Recognizing the urgent need for innovative approaches to address climate challenges, Venkat and Prasanna joined hands with the visionary team behind Praanadhaara, a leader in Farming-as-a-Service and mechanized agriculture. This partnership positioned CarbonMint as the technology arm of Praanadhaara, bringing advanced tools and platforms to complement the mission of empowering farmers and creating sustainable livelihoods.

​

CarbonMint leverages cutting-edge technologies such as blockchain-enabled dMRV (digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification), IoT, AI, and precision farming to deliver end-to-end solutions for regenerative agriculture and carbon credit generation. Our initiatives are designed to optimize resources, enhance productivity, and ensure transparency across the value chain. Through practices like Direct Seeding of Rice (DSR), Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), and biochar application, we aim to transform agriculture into a sustainable and profitable endeavor while addressing key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

​

Our Farming-as-a-Service (FaaS) model provides access to mechanization, market linkages, and resource optimization, while also fostering rural empowerment by creating employment opportunities for agripreneurs. By combining CarbonMint's expertise with Praanadhaara's on-ground implementation capabilities, we deliver a comprehensive ecosystem for farmers that integrates backward and forward linkages for long-term impact.

 

CarbonMint is proud to have a global presence, with offices in Vijayawada, Hyderabad, the United Kingdom, and the United States, reflecting our commitment to addressing local challenges with a global perspective.

​

At CarbonMint, we envision a future where technology and nature work in harmony, farmers are recognized as the stewards of our planet, and sustainable practices become the norm. Together with Praanadhaara, we strive to build a resilient and thriving agricultural ecosystem, creating lasting environmental and social impact for generations to come.
