Alt Carbon was started by sibling tea planters Shrey and Sparsh Agarwal, in order to rescue their family’s tea estate from being at-risk of climate impact to becoming the frontier of climate action.

We are looking for razor-sharp, detail-obsessed Research Associates to support our scientific efforts in Carbon Dioxide Removal through Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW). This is not a typical academic lab role — it demands operational discipline, documentation excellence, and strong quantitative thinking.
You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team across geochemistry, agronomy, instrumentation, and AI. If you’ve spent time in high-compliance industries like pharma, food-tech, materials engineering, or corporate research — and you want to transition to climate and planetary sciences — this is your runway.
