Transitry

Transitry is a Singapore-headquartered climate and agriculture technology company that measures and monitors soil health and quantifies carbon sequestration. Its offering is organised around three linked solutions: a portable soil probe for in-field soil and carbon measurement, a digital measurement, reporting and verification (dMRV) platform, and a proprietary biochar chemical pre-processing innovation intended to lock carbon into soil. The company positions the three as a closed loop, moving from knowing the soil, to monitoring impact, to maximising carbon value.

The dMRV platform combines satellite imagery, smart sensors and field data in a hybrid data engine, records claims and actions on a blockchain-backed ledger for audit and carbon-market use, and applies agronomic AI models of soil-carbon interactions. Platform features include tokenisation of verified efforts for carbon credit trading, a carbon calculator, geospatial and heatmap tools, stakeholder collaboration and mapping, real-time monitoring, an AI chatbot, an analytics dashboard, trade-compliance reporting, configurable workflows and AI assessment of practices. The architecture is described as open and modular so it can integrate with existing supply chain systems. Earlier descriptions of the company framed it as a carbon-sequestration monitoring platform that runs eligibility checks for carbon programmes, helps project owners select regenerative practices, estimates baseline emissions and sequestration capacity, quantifies sequestration using science-verified models, and verifies outcome data using field data and satellite imagery.

The company states it serves farmers seeking yield and soil-health insights, agri companies designing solutions and forecasting demand, governments needing data for policy and resource planning, banks assessing risk and green financing, and consumers interested in food provenance. It also frames its compliance work around SDG, ESG and carbon-credit market requirements.

Founding story

Co-founder Vishan Ravi Tejaas, an aerospace engineer with a master's degree in innovation and business strategy and prior experience in digital product management across industries including maritime, logistics, healthcare and automotive, has said the idea arose from problems in his own family-owned agriculture business around sustainable agriculture, ESG reporting, crop yield and soil health. The company describes itself as built to address the need for a more trustworthy way to measure impact in agriculture and climate projects, drawing on backgrounds in ag-tech, venture capital and farm innovation.

Business model

Transitry sells technology and platform solutions — soil probe hardware, a digital MRV software platform, and biochar pre-processing — to agricultural and climate-project stakeholders, with an emphasis on enabling carbon credit generation, verification and trading, and on unlocking green finance for decarbonisation projects. Earlier company statements identified agro-based corporate customers in India and Southeast Asia as its customer base.

Not stated in available sources beyond the sale of soil probe technology, dMRV platform access and biochar pre-processing to farmers, agri-businesses, governments, banks and carbon project stakeholders.

Traction

The company's website cites more than 1,000 verified claims logged and traced through its dMRV and over 5 million hectares of land under management. Inc42 lists an employee count of 4. At the time of the pre-seed announcement the company said it planned to expand its team and focus on data and risk analytics, generative AI for carbon credit origination, and carbon project management.

Latest developments

Following its June 2023 pre-seed round, the company said it intended to expand its product line, promote adoption of eco-friendly practices, pursue further funding, and form partnerships with organisations and research institutions. Its current site presents three commercial solution lines and a platform feature set spanning tokenisation, carbon calculation, geospatial analysis, monitoring and trade-compliance reporting.
