Founder: E-Cycl India
E-Cycl India, electronic waste recycling and awareness initiative.
Started after observing that Hyderabad's sanitation workers were affected by mishandled e-waste, some of them child laborers. Electronic waste is the fastest-growing stream of waste and it leaches toxins that cause irreparable damage. Motivated by the innate moral obligation to protect the underserved members of my community, E-Cycl tackles the issue through student-led awareness sessions at schools, campuses, and office spaces. After explaining the perils that e-waste poses,
we facilitate a collection and recycling drive.
Recycled thousands of kilograms of e-waste, supporting the lives of sanitation workers, we work towards a shift in public policy surrounding child labor in the sanitation space.
Currently, supported by 9 MNCs, winning multiple intl awards and grants.
