About
We built the software we wished we'd had
EnvironDesk started in an Ahmedabad office where three people were tracking 78 factories in four spreadsheets and a WhatsApp group — and losing.
The September that started it
In September 2023 our co-founder was running an environmental consultancy in Ahmedabad with 78 factory clients. Form-V season. Four spreadsheets, one of which had been forked by a junior engineer six months earlier and quietly diverged.
Two CTOs lapsed that year. One client came within days of a closure direction. Nobody had been negligent — the dates were simply in a file that nobody happened to open in the right week.
The obvious fix was better discipline. We tried that. It works until someone goes on leave, or a client is onboarded in a hurry, or March gets busy. Discipline doesn't scale past about thirty factories, and every consultancy in Gujarat is running more than thirty.
So we built the thing that should have existed: one system that knows every consent, every expiry, every condition — and chases them at you rather than waiting to be checked. Then other consultancies asked if they could use it.
That's EnvironDesk. Built in Ahmedabad, for the way Indian environmental consultancies actually work.

Mission
Make missing a deadline structurally impossible
Not through better willpower. Through a system that carries the dates so people don't have to.
Domain first, software second
Anyone can build a calendar. Knowing that a CTO renewal needs 120 days, that GPCB cross-checks electricity bills against production, and that ETP sludge is hazardous waste — that's the product.
Built with consultancies, not at them
Every feature came from watching someone struggle with a spreadsheet at 11pm in September. We ship what practitioners ask for, not what looks good in a deck.
Your data is yours
Hosted in India, encrypted, exportable in open formats whenever you want. No lock-in, no hostage-taking. If you leave, you take everything.
Compliance is the point
Every renewal filed on time is a factory that keeps running and effluent that keeps getting treated. The commercial case and the environmental case point the same way.

Careers
We're a small team in Ahmedabad building software for an industry we came from. If you're an environmental engineer who can write code, or an engineer who wants to learn why a Red-category unit gets five years and not ten, we'd like to talk.
