After 5.5 years of learning & evolving, Rainmatter Foundation is entering a new phase.
What began with a few focus areas has grown into ecosystem weaving across urban, rural, climate, data & more - always with place at the center.

Supporting individuals/organizations working on climate change with a focus on afforestation, ecological regeneration, and livelihoods.
- We are thrilled to announce The Climate Conversations, wherein @Nithin0dha, Kailash & @zenx talk to @HansiMehrotra about the big, small and befuddling questions about the foundation of the Rainmatter Foundation! Stay tuned - the first of the 6-part series is coming soon!
00:00 - Thanks, @divyajshekhar for covering @RainmatterOrg. The foundation started with the question of what's the point of all this success if we don't have a planet to live on?
- We would love to see a 100 micro forests take shape. Planted diverse, with a rich forest floor and the web of life underneath creating rich soil. Do share pics with us as this happens!Received 1020 saplings from @zerodha @RainmatterOrg Saplings will be planted at military campus, Bengaluru as part of mission million lungs program. #planttrees #SavePlanetEarth #Monsoon #travel #Restore #trees
- Plastic is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse emissions—it consumes ~10% of all oil produced. 95% of all plastic is single-use and less than 12% is recycled. The rest is burnt or ends up in landfills. This is a problem.
- Climate change is an existential crisis for mankind and it’s sad that it gets the most attention on #WorldEnvironmentDay. We believe it’s our collective responsibility to use our resources for the good. (1/12)
- .@karthikrangappa explains the concept of Devarakaadu and his experiment with it. We’re committed to growing a little more forest, everywhere 🙂
- Happy #WorldWaterDay #AMillionWells For #Bengaluru Pledge! Today, let's promise to make this happen and commit to at least a few recharge wells to be dug in our communities, offices, campuses. Please share this as your pledge & RT! cc @rainwaterclub
- In case you were wondering what we've been upto, we'd say that we inadvertently imitated trees, which slow down in autumn (sharad): blog.rainmatter.org/sharad-digest-… #conservation #biodiversity #vcs #SandMining #OrganicCotton #springshed #circulareconomy
- On World Environment Day, let's pledge to protect our planet. Atmospheric CO2 has never been higher. We are losing forest cover and animal species. This is why at @Rainmatterorg we have partnered with amazing teams working on these challenges - rainmatter.org (1/n)
- There's an urgent need to shore up the supply of #Oxygen concentrators. @zerodha's teamed up with @actgrants to kick start this, with a million dollars each, but it needs a lot more support. Please pitch in and RT widely. #CovidIndia zerodha.com/covid
- Don't opt for RO purifiers by default. And if you must, a cheap setup helps you reuse the water. Here's a handy guide.Replying to @biome_trustRO systems reject 30-50% of freshwater while purifying. They reject 5-8 litres of water for every litre of fresh water. All this water usually goes down the drain.
- The Rainmatter Foundation is past the two-year mark. When we started out, we had full pockets, a lot of goodwill, some very generous volunteers, a CEO and a fuzzy map for multiple directions. We were in the spotlight. But where does the ‘doing’ really begin? 1/2
- Shipping and logistics is a huge part of the emissions puzzle globally. @matchlog_india reduces inefficiencies and the footprint inherent in these operations today. More visibility into this data brings huge possibilities wrt further optimizations. Delighted to be onboard!
