Bartronics India Ltd., a listed rural fintech company, has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Net Zero Initiative Pvt. Ltd. (RenewCred), an India-based climate-tech startup developing a blockchain-enabled carbon credit registry. The pact marks Bartronics’ entry into the growing climate-tech and agri-tech sectors under its new management.
With a presence in 5,000 villages and access to over 40 million farmers, Bartronics plans to open pathways for farmers to participate in global carbon markets by adopting sustainable agricultural practices. Verified carbon credits generated through these practices can be monetised, creating an additional income stream and strengthening India’s rural economy.
“This MoU is about putting farmers at the center of the climate economy. For years we have worked towards strengthening financial inclusion in rural India and now we see an opportunity towards enabling farmers to benefit from the carbon credit ecosystem,” said N. Vidhya Sagar Reddy, Managing Director, Bartronics India Ltd.. “By partnering with RenewCred we are opening up global markets for Rural Communities and helping them build a resilient livelihood,” he added.
RenewCred, backed by over 90 scientists, works with departments under the Governments of Uttar Pradesh and Chandigarh. It will provide digital MRV systems, drone-based monitoring and blockchain-powered verification to ensure transparency.
“At RenewCred, our mission has always been to make carbon markets accessible, scientifically credible and transparent,” said Abhimanyu Rathi, Founder and CEO. “This partnership is not just about technology but about empowering rural communities with sustainable income opportunities,” noted Rathi.
