About Smarter Dharma
Smarter Dharma is a sustainability and climate technology company focused on transforming the way India designs and builds its built environment.
Our mission is to make decarbonisation tangible by helping real estate and construction companies make smarter sustainability decisions early in the design process.
Our technology platform, SD+, brings together design intelligence, sustainability interventions, cost and impact analysis, sustainable materials and green-building certification into one connected platform.
