About CarbonSutra
🎯 Our Mission: Eliminating the "Black Box" in Carbon Accounting
In an era of mandatory disclosure frameworks (such as CSRD, ISSB, and SEC climate rules), a carbon footprint estimate is only as good as the methodology supporting it. Most carbon tools act as "black boxes"—returning raw totals without proof.
We built CarbonSutra around total methodological transparency:
-
Dynamic API Explanations: Every calculation payload automatically appends a clear, step-by-step, human-readable breakdown detailing source standards, Great-Circle distance equations, and unit conversion logic directly in the JSON response.
-
Audit-Proof Standards: Powered by verified baselines including UK DEFRA 2026 conversion factors, Cornell CHSB hotel indices, ICAO travel baselines, and regional electricity grids.
-
Zero-Storage Data Clustering: Group, tag, and retrieve calculation sets using custom labels without needing to store or manage raw emission state on your end.
🏢 Company & Team Credentials
CarbonSutra is developed and operated by Contactous, a Singapore-registered entity serving global clients since 2016. We specialize in complex data deduplication, entity resolution algorithms, and enterprise software systems.
Leadership & Expertise
-
Manish Sharma — Founder: Leads CarbonSutra’s architectural vision, drawing on deep engineering experience in enterprise data integration, API design and formal training in ClimateTech.

📈 Proven Track Record & Roadmap
Operational since 2022, CarbonSutra has processed millions of calculations for independent developers, non-profits, and global enterprise platforms running on SAP and Oracle backends.
Driven directly by customer demand, our active development roadmap includes:
-
AI-Native Operations: Native integration with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, enabling LLMs and AI agents to execute automated, natural language carbon audits.
-
Open Data Standards: Native export support for the OpenCCF (Open Corporate Climate Data) schema for frictionless enterprise ERP interoperability.
-
Digital Decarbonization: Specialized algorithms for Scope 3.1 spend-based procurement and cloud/AI workload footprinting.
📑 Governance & Compliance
We maintain strict operational standards for data privacy, uptime, and continuous updates to our algorithmic baselines
