About VayuDrishti

VayuDrishti is a climate-tech startup revolutionizing air pollution monitoring, prediction, and mitigation in underserved regions. At the core of our innovation is a low-cost, AI-powered system that integrates real-time air quality monitoring, 7-day forecasting, and smart purification—all delivered in an end-to-end ecosystem.

Our platform measures PM2.5, PM10, CO₂, temperature, humidity, and more, with 93% accuracy against reference-grade instruments at a fraction of the cost. Currently deployed in over 30 cities across Nepal, India, and Pakistan, we operate on a hybrid tech-impact business model that ensures both sustainability and scale.

Our impact goes beyond technology—we've trained over 6,000 youth through our VayuSena program, and our platform receives 98,000+ monthly visits from individuals checking air data to protect their families. Backed by the U.S. Embassy, Kings Otharo, and global accelerators, VayuDrishti is not just a product—it's a growing movement.
