The Model.
01
The Challenge

High-Need Regions Face Rising Climate Pressure

Waste Water Air Energy Agriculture
Earth5R field operations

Enterprises and governments in the Global South face mounting ESG pressure with no reliable infrastructure to respond at scale. Existing solutions are too slow, too costly, and unverifiable — creating compliance risk and missed opportunity.

02

The Founder

Saurabh
Gupta Founder & CEO, Earth5R

He left a corporate career, got on a bicycle, and spent two years cycling 50,000 kilometres through Asia, Africa, and Europe — before building a technology platform that now operates across 65 countries.

Saurabh Gupta — Founder & CEO, Earth5R
The Journey · Key Milestones
2012
Left Corporate India
Quit Café Coffee Day to cycle the globe — a decision that would redefine his life and purpose.
2012–14
50,000km Across 3 Continents
Asia, Africa, Europe. Witnessed environmental destruction and systemic apathy that could not be unseen.
2014
Earth5R Founded
Built not as charity, but as a technology company designed to make sustainability commercially deployable at scale.
2014–Now
From Mumbai to 65 Countries
UN partner, UNESCO recognition, President Macron Award, Paris Peace Forum Project Leader.
He didn't start a movement.
He built a platform.

What Saurabh built after that 50,000km journey wasn't a campaign or an NGO. It was a data and technology platform — one designed from day one to be commercially deployable at enterprise scale.

Earth5R's core is a Forensic Sustainability Operating System that collects, verifies, and reports on environmental outcomes across 65 countries — feeding enterprise ESG compliance, circular economy risk intelligence, and real-time community data into one system.

Today that system connects 2.5 million citizens, 1.3 million farmers, and enterprise clients across 15+ industries — generating outcomes that are independently auditable, commercially verifiable, and recognised by the UN, UNESCO, Google, and President Macron.
