What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and scale practical Zero Waste, circular-economy, and clean-energy programs with governments, institutions, CSR partners, communities, and waste pickers.

At Swayambhu Innovative Solutions, I’ve spent 10+ years building waste-management and clean-energy programs across five Indian states. I lead community biogas projects and manage a 6-ton-per-day Haridwar plastic-recycling factory that turns single-use plastic into furniture.

I’ve partnered with MCD, Indian Railways, GIZ, HUL, ITC, Tetra Pak, and others to deliver Zero Waste models, material recovery facilities, school programs, and rural waste-management initiatives. I also work with 5,000+ waste pickers to create additional livelihoods through plastic-waste collection.
