GreenPod Labs

Seed Round in 2022
GreenPod Labs Private Limited, established in 2019 and headquartered in Chennai, India, specializes in post-harvest solutions aimed at reducing the significant losses of fruits and vegetables during storage and transport. Despite being the second largest producer of these commodities, India faces a staggering 40% loss before the products reach consumers, resulting in an economic impact of approximately $12 billion due to food waste. To address this issue, GreenPod Labs has developed an innovative active packaging sachet that incorporates nano-encapsulated plant extracts. This technology naturally slows down the ripening process and minimizes microbial attack, effectively extending the shelf life of perishable goods and helping to mitigate the challenges posed by inadequate storage and transportation facilities.
