WHO WE ARE

India’s Cleantech Solutions for Emission Reduction and Air Quality

Chakr Innovation is a leading cleantech company dedicated to developing practical and scalable emission reduction solutions for India’s most pressing air pollution challenges. Founded with a mission to combat deteriorating air quality, we focus on transforming pollution control from a regulatory obligation into a sustainable, technology-driven solution for industries and cities.

Rooted in material science and advanced engineering, Chakr Innovation designs and deploys technologies that address emissions at the source. Our work is driven by a clear purpose—to reduce harmful pollutants, enable regulatory compliance, and create cleaner environments without compromising operational efficiency.

At the heart of Chakr Innovation’s innovation ecosystem is our flagship Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD) for diesel generators. Designed specifically to tackle emissions from existing DG sets, our RECD technology plays a critical role in reducing particulate matter, including PM2.5, while supporting industries in meeting stringent emission norms. As diesel generators remain a major contributor to urban and industrial air pollution, RECDs form the foundation of our approach to scalable and immediate emission reduction.

Building on this core solution, Chakr Innovation also addresses related pollution challenges through complementary technologies focused on construction dust control, real-time emission monitoring, and intelligent system optimisation. Together, our solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly across industrial, commercial, infrastructure, and urban environments—delivering measurable and lasting improvements in air quality.

Driven by innovation and responsibility, Chakr Innovation continues to advance clean air solutions that enable compliance, operational efficiency, and a healthier environment for communities across India.

Our Principles

1

Whatever can be done tomorrow should be done today. Whatever can be done today should be done now.

2

Keep questioning until you understand something from first principles. Analogy based reasoning is for the lazy. Don’t be lazy.

3

In God we all trust, everyone else brings data to the discussion. If you can’t find data for something, then build hypothesis using first principles.

4

You are not sure until you have data from 3 different and independent sources validating the same thing. Assume nothing.

5

Your achievement of the past got you where you are today. It means nothing more. Don’t expect anything else from what you achieved yesterday; you will be disappointed.

6

Humility is at the center of our existence. Without humility there can be no curiosity. Without curiosity there can be no progress.

7

Hard times build strong teams. Strong teams bring success. Success weakens the team. Weak teams die. In times of prosperity, aim higher and challenge yourself to create adversity. You will survive longer

8

If you have a shot, take it! Great results are as much about timing as they are about hard work. There is no perfect time.

9

Build relationships. Relationships are the invisible competitive advantage our competitors can never steal.

10

Obsession is a competitive advantage. If you are not obsessing about what you are working on, you will most likely not meet expectations.
