Founded in 2024, Ecopath develops construction materials using industrial by-products. Its EcoConcrete offers a cement-free alternative for products such as pavers, blocks and ready-mix concrete, aiming to reduce construction’s environmental footprint.
Could material left over from industrial production help build India’s roads and infrastructure? Bengaluru-based Ecopath is turning that question into a business through its cement-free construction material, EcoConcrete.
Founded by Sourabh Kumar and Abhishek Chhazed, the startup brings together experience in infrastructure and materials development. Its goal is to make alternatives to conventional construction materials accessible to builders at a commercial scale.
The company’s product range includes ready-mix EcoConcrete, pavers, bricks, blocks and precast solutions. These applications place its technology in familiar construction products, giving developers several ways to introduce alternative materials into projects.
EcoConcrete uses ground granulated blast-furnace slag, an industrial by-product, alongside the company’s proprietary binders. Ecopath says its process avoids water-based curing, aiming to reduce water requirements while replacing conventional cement. These environmental benefits are company-reported claims.
The founders’ backgrounds help explain the venture’s focus. Ecopath’s website identifies Kumar as its founder and CEO, with previous experience building the road-repair venture PotHoleRaja. Co-founder and CTO Chhazed leads the company’s technical and product development work. Together, their challenge is to connect material innovation with the practical requirements of construction customers.
According to YourStory’s October 13 report, Ecopath operates in Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai and Hyderabad and plans to expand into at least 20 Indian cities. The startup also joined the publication’s Tech30 2026 cohort. Its expansion plans remain ambitions rather than completed milestones.
Ecopath’s story centres on a practical business opportunity: finding a productive use for industrial by-products while supplying materials that builders need. Turning that opportunity into wider adoption will depend on consistent quality, dependable supply and competitive pricing.
