You finish your snack, toss the wrapper, and never think about it again. But here’s the truth: it’s coming back to you, on your plate, in your water, even in your blood.

Shekar Prabhakar left a cushy corporate job to tackle our waste crisis head-on, empowering waste workers and reshaping the way Bangalore deals with its trash. This episode isn’t just about garbage, it’s about survival. Because what we throw away… never really goes away.
