ABOUT GIHAN ATAPATTU
Global operator turned climate tech founder, bringing unconventional thinking and breakthrough technology to the conventional world of global supply chains.Along the way, I’ve learned an essential truth: the private sector and consumers want to be sustainable — but not at higher cost! So I flipped the outdated thinking that climate action means greater expense. By uniquely linking waste and emissions to savings, and leveraging technology that didn’t exist just 3–5 years ago, we’re making it possible to automate and scale new profits and climate action across millions of SMEs — a segment responsible for 40% of all global GHG emissions.At PLANet-ZERO, we’re delivering near-real-time AI insights that help businesses cut costs, reduce emissions, and finally deliver sustainability to consumers — without added cost, and at scale.My career has spanned Asia, Europe, and North America, scaling businesses to leadership positions in complex, fast-moving markets. Now, I’m leveraging that experience to dispel the myth that climate action raises costs — by automating and turning industrial emissions into new profits and better consumer products, much like Toyota transformed waste and defects into savings and world-class vehicles.Passionate about understanding the root causes of big problems, aligning interests, using technology to scale solutions, and executing flawlessly to deliver for business, planet, and consumers.The future of climate action is here — it’s just not evenly distributed.My commitment is that PLANet-ZERO will deliver the technology and incentives to scale this transformation from the bottom up: from farms and mines to retail and consumers worldwide, at near-zero cost to the businesses driving change.We harness user-generated data, cloud computing, AI-powered guidance, and blockchain verification to automate insights and accelerate impact — turning waste and emissions into profit, better products, and measurable climate action.And we go further: by sharing 51% of PLANet-ZERO’s profits, we’re reinvesting directly into our community, creating a powerful flywheel for growth and shared success.This is not just theory. It’s action, scale, and shared value — for business, planet, and consumers.
