IORA Ecological Solutions Raises INR 8.5 Cr Debt Funding
Iora Ecological Solutions (IORA), a pioneer in Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for climate action and ecosystem restoration, has raised INR 8.5 crore (approx. USD 1 million) in debt funding from Caspian Impact Investments (Caspian Debt).
The funds will be used to scale MegCare, IORA's flagship agroforestry and land restoration program in Meghalaya, aiming to rejuvenate degraded landscapes, increase forest cover, and improve rural livelihoods through sustainable practices.
Founded in 2009 by Swapan Mehra, IORA is an environmental advisory firm with multidisciplinary expertise in environmental finance, policy, research, and project implementation. It has executed over 200 global projects spanning 20 million hectares across 27 Indian states, 2 UTs, and regions in Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America.
"This investment by Caspian Debt, supported by Rabo Foundation, marks an important milestone for the MegCare program," said Sampath Kumar, IAS, Principal Secretary, Government of Meghalaya. "It supports the state's vision to restore lands and empower communities."
MegCare is expected to benefit 80,000 smallholder farmers in Meghalaya by linking ecosystem restoration with carbon finance and sustainable income.
"This carbon-linked financing model integrates NbS with measurable climate outcomes," said Swapan Mehra, CEO, IORA. Caspian's Sai Pramodh added, "IORA's execution strength makes this a model for impactful climate finance."
Rabobank ACORN and Rabo Foundation also supported the initiative, advancing India's path to its 2070 net-zero climate goal.
