This post is a part of the Early Stage Climate Startup series from Climafix 2024
Highlights
- AI-powered platform for automating Product-Level Carbon Footprint (PCF) tracking, reporting, and compliance.
- Analyzes even granular emissions across products.
1. Value Proposition
- Automate Reporting: Bacuti automates complex reporting processes, ensuring compliance with regulations such as CBAM and providing auditable, error-free reports.
- Accurate Data for Sustainability: Unlike traditional systems that rely on averages, Bacuti uses operational data to deliver precise carbon emissions calculations.
2. Pain Points
- Lack of Granular Product-Level Visibility: Companies often lack visibility into the emissions associated with individual products across their supply chains, making compliance with global sustainability regulations difficult. Bacuti bridges this gap by offering product-level emissions tracking, ensuring compliance with regulations like the CBAM in Europe.
- Manual, Error-Prone Processes: Current carbon reporting processes are typically manual, leading to errors and inefficiencies. Their automated reporting system minimizes human error.
3. Climate Impact
- Product-level carbon footprint assessments to improve supply chain sustainability and reduce scope 3 emissions.
4. Current & Future Target Segments
- Current Target Segments: Industries with complex supply chains like chemical, steel, electronics, and automotive components industries.
- Future Target Segments: Bacuti aims to expand its local and international customer base over the next decade.
5. USPs
- Automated Approach: Unlike consulting-driven approaches, Bacuti’s platform is software-centric, to automate emissions calculations and reporting ensuring transparency while protecting sensitive information.
- Product-Level Focus: Bacuti provides granular, product-specific carbon footprint tracking, with built-in regulatory compliance tools.
6. Team Profiles
- Biju Baby (Co-Founder): With over 25 years of experience at leading companies like Equinix, Oracle, and McKinsey, Biju has a strong background in enterprise software, data centers, and B2B strategy.
- Rajesh Srinivasaraghavan (Co-Founder): Rajesh brings more than 25 years of experience in technology and product development, having held leadership roles at Dell, Cisco, and McKinsey.
