I bring to you my conversation with Pranshu Singhal who is on a relentless mission to enable setup of a well governed industry ecosystem for e-waste management in India.

This year, Pranshu won the Social Entrepreneur of the Year award; An award by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, the sister organisation of the World Economic Forum, and the Jubilant Bhartia Foundation.

This conversation is a two part series, so make sure to listen to both ep. 86 & 87 to be in sync & to find out how we all can collectively make change happen.

Notes:

Today when you look at the market…to be precise the linear market, you can sense the expertise of the entire system to deliver efficiently on a forward supply chain. Isn’t it?

On the contrary when we look at the market from the lens of a circular economy we see enormous gaps in meeting the basic necessities needed to have reverse logistics in place. Majority of our take-back mechanisms, collection systems are informally handled and in my view they are amateur on a systemic level to meet the ambitions climate action goals.

That’s where organizations like Karo Sambhav are making a difference by bridging in those gaps and introducing circular strategies and technologies in a way that makes it easy for the brutal market to embrace climate action.
