Founded with a mission to provide green sustainability practices and pro-Planet digital solutions for individuals, communities and businesses, Utopiic is a technology company focused on sustainability and climate change.
Rise of Utopiic
Talking about their inspiration behind starting the company Nishant Malhotra (Business Development Manager) says, “Utopiic arose from an innate and current need of modern-day humanity, to address the issue of climate change and environmental concerns. In this post-industrial society, high-quality education, inordinate consumerism, and easy access to goods and services have curated comfortable options for all. However, sustainable initiatives and practices are often seen as a burden that cannot be accomplished in the established business structures. This is where Utopiic comes in and makes sustainability business-friendly, accessible and affordable, without affecting the output generation of the business and ensuring an inclusive impact.”
The founders chose the name Utopiic from ‘Utopia’, a Greek word that refers to the ultimate ideology of a perfect society based on all just and virtuous values. In a similar vein, the Utopiic notion aims to establish a quintessential green utopia, a community that is self-sustaining in all aspects of existence.

Utopiic creates customised industry-specific, multi-level digital solutions around sustainability and climate change for businesses and individuals alike for them to smoothly transition into a carbon-neutral existence.
Nishant explains, “We provide Advisory & Consultancy Sustainability Services, Carbon Project Development & Management, Stakeholder Training Services in the domain of Green Ethics, Certifications & Reporting Enablement.”

Starting struggles
The most arduous challenge UTOPIIC went through were related to the existence of a common misconception that sustainability and economic growth coincide. Utopiic’s team further observed a lack of awareness among their clients while interacting with them.
Nishant shares, “They were well aware of how to run their businesses, the legalities, and the operations but given the fact that even the law simply states sustainability as suggestive guidelines rather than making it mandatory for all and businesses being held accountable.”
He continues, “This led to the irreversible consequence of the insufficiency of substantial data in the field of business sustainability as most green initiatives to have taken place are scattered, isolated, and unidirectional with no follow-ups of their long-term sustenance.”
Future plans
Utopiic plans on moving beyond conventional net-zero solutions and traditional renewable energy projects. Utopiic is planning on developing climate mitigation projects along with carbon credit projects that will benefit millions of individuals by improving the socio-economic realities while also benefiting the environment.
