Ekobon
Ekobon makes it easy and effective for everyone to tackle climate change by giving them the tools to take climate action into their own hands.
Challenge
Most people understand the catastrophic damage we’re doing to our planet, but they don’t understand how they can make a difference. Ekoban’s founders want to show that every individual and company can do their part to tackle climate change.
Solution
We worked with Ekobon to build a platform that shows everyone the real impact their activities have on the climate. More importantly, it gives them an easy and effective way to do something about it by giving them access to science-based assessment tools and frameworks like EKO Trace.

We would definitely recommend Builder.ai. We were so impressed with their comprehensive and structured way of approaching the project. Our teams interacted with one another really well.

Co-Founder of Ekobon
Making it easy to tackle climate change
With Ekobon, individuals and companies are able to calculate their exact carbon footprint based on their personal lifestyles or business activities. Companies can use EKO Trace, an AI-powered reporting tool, to measure their energy consumption, water usage, and waste throughout the lifecycles of their products and produce insightful industry-standard climate reports. Both individuals and businesses can then browse and buy carefully vetted sustainable projects to offset their impact on the climate, erase their carbon footprint, and take climate action into their own hands. In addition to this, companies can also use the platform to proactively make sure their e-commerce transactions, travel bookings, and planned events are all carbon neutral with My Ekobon Action.
The most important mission
Founders Nikhil and Nirdesh are both passionate about solving the problem of climate change, “Many countries have ambitious carbon neutral targets so there’s a lot of awareness but no one knows how to act on it.”
That’s when these entrepreneurs saw the opportunity to build a solution, “Ekobon is a digital tool that makes climate action easy and effective for everyone.”
Finding the right partner
Without any tech knowledge, the team behind Ekobon needed a cost-effective way of building their app at speed. That’s why they approached Builder.ai, “The thing we like best about Builder is the flexibility. We were impressed with their comprehensive and structured way of approaching the project.”
Nikhil liked the clear way of working from the beginning of the project, “We started by talking to our productologist and they gave us our entire roadmap. We then had weekly meetings to check progress.”
Working with us
It was also important for Nikhil and Nirdesh to find a team that would work well with their own, “Our teams interacted with one another really well. We had a great two-way communication channel.”
They also praised how reactive we were, “You’re never 100% sure of how your app is going to finally end up. It keeps changing and altering but the Builder.ai team were able to incorporate all our changes throughout the product design journey.”
Growing the platform
Ekobon is now a fast-growing start-up with a team of industry experts, “We’re a 25-person team and we’re collaborating with teams all around the world to help make their supply chains more sustainable with this carbon accounting tool for corporate and finance emissions.”
Both founders are excited to build upon the Ekobon platform with new products that help people live more sustainably, “EKO Spark is our new app that uses gamification and rewards to make climate action engaging.”
