Vaayu

Vaayu is the world’s first automated software for retailers to measure and cut carbon emissions in real-time. The platform leverages proprietary AI and machine learning technology to draw insights from production, sales and logistics to help retailers locate hotspots and benchmark carbon footprints while providing meaningful ways to lower emissions. 

Vaayu’s data methodology is based on extremely detailed life-cycle assessment modelling which leans on an extensive database of more than 600,000 data points put together by LCA academics and specialists. The company’s platform automatically pulls and analyses this data to make calculations easy for more than 50 customers including some of the world’s biggest brands like Klarna and SellerX - and solves the problem of imprecise, slow insights into emissions.

Founders Namrata Sandhu and Luca Schmid’s credentials in the sustainability space are unmatched; with Namrata boasting 17 years of experience in sustainability,  including Head of Sustainability roles leading retailers  at Zalando and Arcadia Group, while Luca was previously lead developer at German mobility company Vimcar.
