About Ecovion

Smart Materials for Real-World Impact

Ecovion is an India-based deep-tech startup building a material-innovation platform for controlled delivery and environmental remediation.
At our core, we design proprietary material systems that regulate how active molecules behave in real-world environments, such as soil, water, and biological interfaces. Instead of focusing on a single product, Ecovion is developing a scalable materials platform that can support multiple application verticals over time.

Our first entry market is agriculture, where inefficient fertilizer and pesticide delivery causes massive input loss, environmental pollution, and rising farmer costs. By redesigning how inputs are delivered to the root zone, Ecovion improves efficiency, safety, and sustainability without changing farmer practices. We are currently incubated at ICAR–IARI (Pusa Krishi) and progressing from pilot-scale validation toward field trials and commercialization.

Beyond Agriculture

Agriculture is our first market entry — not our final destination.
