The Work In Motion
Below are the projects VELSTROM is actively building right now. Each one turns a clear environmental or scientific problem into a system that can be measured, verified, and trusted. Select any project to read the full detail behind it.
INDEX: 2 ACTIVE RECORDS + 1 SUBPAGE · STATUS NOMINALCarbon Aggregation Programme
Verified soil carbon income for India's smallholder farmers
India's first technology driven, satellite verified agricultural carbon credit aggregation programme. We connect smallholder farmers to the Indian Carbon Market, measure the greenhouse gas reductions their improved practices create, and return the majority of the proceeds straight back to the people who farm the land.
- Registered under the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, 2023
- Satellite monitoring across the full compliance year
- Farmers receive 70% of gross credit sale proceeds
Satellite Farm Monitoring
Spectral indices over pilot areas — BSI, SAVI, NDWI, CRSI
VELSTROM's satellite monitoring layer tracks enrolled farm polygons across pilot districts in Maharashtra, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana using Sentinel-2 derived spectral indices. BSI, SAVI, NDWI, and CRSI composites are processed through Google Earth Engine at 5–12 day cadence to detect tillage events, residue retention, soil moisture, and crop stress.
- Pilot areas: Pune, Satara, Nashik (Maharashtra); Sangrur and select districts (Punjab)
- Farming-intensive districts in Madhya Pradesh and Telangana under active monitoring
- Four-index composite: BSI · SAVI · NDWI · CRSI
We list only the programmes that are genuinely under way. As further projects move from concept into active development across precision hydration, ecosystem restoration, and biodiversity intelligence, they will appear here. We would rather show fewer real projects than a long roadmap of promises.
