Kavita Kalyan

Kavita is co-founder of Nimbora, a women-led climate technology startup building the intelligence layer for water. With a PhD in Environmental Science with experience in water conservation, sustainability, and ecosystem restoration, she brings deep domain expertise to addressing global water challenges. She has also worked at the intersection of environment and community systems, with a focus on inclusive approaches that recognize the role of women in water management and climate resilience.

At Nimbora, Kavita is pioneering the concept of water credits—a market-based approach that enables farmers, industries, and governments to measure, verify, and monetize water savings. By integrating IoT sensors, satellite data, and AI models, her work transforms water efficiency into quantifiable outcomes aligned with frameworks such as Volumetric Water Benefit Accounting (VWBA).

Her focus is on shifting water from an undervalued resource to a measurable and incentivized asset, enabling scalable conservation in water-stressed regions. This approach connects sustainability efforts with financial systems, helping unlock new pathways for climate finance, ESG reporting, and large-scale resource optimization.

Nimbora was recently showcased at the India AI Summit 2026, reflecting growing recognition of its approach to water intelligence and sustainability.
