It's that time of the week again—#WednesdayBites is here! This week, we asked Rajvi, our Sales Executive, the same question. Watch the video to know her answer! And before you dive in, let’s take a moment to shine the spotlight on her. Rajvi Shah began her career in urban planning, where her professor, who specialized in environmental studies, introduced her to waste management and the early work of Solid Waste Management Roundtable ( SWMRT) in Bangalore. Her interest in organic farming led her to explore the world of composting, including food #composting, farmyard #composting, and #vermicomposting. She learned the process behind each type of compost and eventually made her farm self-sufficient using the manure she produced. Rajvi dedicated hours in her fields to ensure a healthy crop yield. Now, Rajvi plans to start terrace gardening at home, finding happiness and joy as she nurtures her plants. From organic farming and composting to working in #wastemanagement, Rajvi has always been drawn to environmental care. We are extremely proud to have team members like Rajvi who are passionate and committed to making a difference beyond work. Want to hear more? Stay tuned for next Wednesday’s #WednesdayBites!

We had the pleasure of hosting 25 passionate climate enthusiasts from The Climate Party® at our Material Recovery Facility and Plastic Aggregation Centre! This wasn’t just another visit—these individuals were already well-informed about waste and chose to spend their weekend digging deeper into the challenges of waste management with us. We took them through the reality of at-source segregated waste, which often still includes utensils with left-over food. We highlighted the struggles our waste pickers face in cleaning out these containers, exposing them to health hazards let alone dealing with the malodour. By the end of the tour, we could tell they got real value from the experience when they said, “We finally understand what happens to the waste once it leaves our homes!” A huge shoutout to Sayesha Dogra and Sonika Choudhury from The Climate Party® for organizing this insightful event, and to Plog Raja for spearheading the Waste Trail!

We’re back with our series of #WednesdayBites! This week, we're spotlighting Chaithra Shree, our Head of Accounts and the first team member to take a leap of faith from a ‘safe’ corporate job to join us back in Nov 2015.  Coming from a corporate background, Chaithra was always surrounded by clouds and databases. “I didn’t know about this whole other world called waste!” she says. Initially, Chaithra helped us manage customer relationships—a role she excelled in. Having a background in engineering, and embracing an entirely different field, she pivoted from customer care to handling our finances taking up multiple roles in between.  “Here, I was able to learn accounting, HR, and a lot of other skills” she shares. Chaithra also fondly recalls supporting Loathfer Ali when he was just starting. “He needed a lot of support, and I saw HDI helping him without expecting anything in return. It filled my heart to witness that. Today, Loathfer has his own office, a godown, and even pays GST.” Reflecting on her journey, Chaithra says with a smile, “At the end of the day, I go home with the satisfaction that maybe—just maybe—I have contributed 0.000001% to Mother Earth and the livelihoods of waste pickers.” We are incredibly proud to have Chaithra as part of our team! She’s one of our most dedicated team members contributing to the growth of the company :) Stay tuned for our next #WednesdayBite Shekar Prabhakar | Marwan Abubaker | Chaithra Shree

We’re excited to share highlights from our Event Waste Management services and stall engagement at Oktoberfest 2024, held on September 21st at Ecoworld, Bellandur, Bangalore. This iconic festival seamlessly merged sustainability with its centuries-old tradition, and we’re proud to have played a key role in making it a Green Event with our on-ground support. At our stall, we hosted the Hoop for Circularity Challenge, a fun, interactive hula-hooping activity that sparked conversations about the circular economy and waste management. We also held an impromptu Beer & Sustainability Quiz, engaging attendees with thought-provoking questions about the impact of climate change on beer production and the growing emphasis on sustainable practices at global events. Thanks to our team’s effective Event Waste Management efforts, the premises remained spotless throughout the day. Our dedicated team even got into the fun, hula hooping alongside attendees! We witnessed hooping times ranging from 1 minute to an impressive 22 minutes, with participants pledging to divert over 1000 kg of waste from landfills through their involvement. Thank you to everyone who joined us in hooping for circularity and making this Oktoberfest a greener celebration! Shekar Prabhakar Marwan Abubaker Vishwanath C Preeti Sawhney G Nagaraj
