The Challenge
The critical first mile of India's recycling
economy remains underfunded
Over 4 million nano and informal waste entrepreneurs manage 60%+ of India’s solid waste. Yet they receive just 2% of waste-sector finance. The challenge isn’t a lack of impact. It’s a lack of investable pathways.

and technical assistance to reduce risk for capital providers while helping entrepreneurs access and absorb finance. We bridge the gap between capital and the people who need it most.
