We are the GreenPill India Chapter of the GreenPill Network. We are committed to bringing a convergence of the regenerative digital infrastructure with grassroots public goods efforts in India. With a population of 1.4 billion, India holds a massive opportunity to unlock the gains from combining coordination mechanisms to drive local outcomes for global problems.

Who are we

We are an assembly of ReFi founders, designers, engineers, writers, and web3 enthusiasts who were busy in our rabbit holes until most of us met each other at various points since early 2022 when the book GreenPilled launched the meme of regenerative crypto-economics into the world. While each of us has been striving in our primary role to revive public goods in our projects, in our individual and collective capacity, we have been championing the need to fund, design, develop, and market a future rooted in regeneration.

Long-term: What’s ahead of us?

Long-term goal: In our environment, we see that the current political landscape, welfare structures, financial systems, and philanthropic initiatives have not been able to overcome the failures in coordination for challenges across climate, healthcare, social security, education, and other public goods. From our collective experience running ReFi projects on the ground, we have first-hand evidence that the local people on the spot have the strongest incentive to get the solution right. Our mission is to facilitate the convergence of the regenerative digital infrastructure with grassroots efforts in India to drive local outcomes for global problems in coordination. We will do this through highly curated in-person experiences to introduce and apply regenerative concepts to fund and thrive public goods in India.
