The company’s footprint already spans India, the Gulf, and Europe, and is supported by institutions such as IIM Bangalore NSRCEL, Stanford Seed, Pedalstart, and Nasscom.
“Our goal is to shift sustainability from the compliance desk to the boardroom,” declared Avi Chudasama, Co-founder & CEO of Newtral. “Most ESG tools stop at reporting. We’re building systems that assist enterprises act—by automating data workflows and building sustainability measurable, auditable, and scalable.”

Gayathri Kuppfinishra Reddy, Founder of NOW Venture Studio, noted, “Newtral is tackling sustainability as a systems problem, not just a reporting one. Their AI-native architecture, vertical focus, and early enterprise traction build them stand out. We’re thrilled to partner with them to translate that vision into global impact.”
