In this episode of the Impact[X] Media Podcast, we speak with Abhishek, CEO of WeVOIS, a climate tech and waste management startup working to build zero-waste cities across India.

What began as a college cleanliness initiative during the Swachh Bharat movement eventually evolved into a company now operating across 35+ cities, serving over 42 lakh people and collecting nearly 2000 tons of waste every day.

We discuss the realities of India’s waste management ecosystem, the operational challenges of working with municipalities, and how WeVOIS built a tech-driven system to improve waste collection efficiency from the ground up.

The conversation also explores:

* Scaling a startup across multiple Indian states

* Building profitable climate infrastructure

* Circular economy opportunities in India

* Textile recycling and material recovery

* Bio-CNG and agricultural waste innovation

* Startup fundraising and growth

* Working with sanitation workers and local governance systems

* The future of sustainability and climate tech in India

This episode is a deep dive into climate innovation, urban infrastructure, operations, sustainability and startup building in India.
