We are currently working in a city called Thane with a population of 20 lakhs. We are a small team who is equipped to develop sustainable solutions for our city, which are sustainable and scalable. However our limited manpower challenges us to scale. We believe that as an UNSDSN partner, we can interact and ideate with best minds across the world, which will help us nurture and shape our ideas and scale through developing more partners thereby creating the much needed change that the world needs. We work on all verticals of waste generation 1.
