How One Man's 50,000km Cycle Changed the Way We Think About Sustainability
Saurabh Gupta shares how cycling through Asia, Africa and Europe — witnessing environmental destruction first-hand — led to the founding of Earth5R and a new model for enterprise-scale sustainability.
Building the Operating System for Climate Action at Scale
From the streets of Mumbai to 65 countries — Saurabh Gupta presents Earth5R's model for turning verified environmental data into a commercially deployable sustainability platform for the Global South.










He built a platform.
What Saurabh built after that 50,000km journey was a data and technology platform — 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.
