Bussiness Ideas

We are building a Rewards Platform for Sustainable Gestures . As the Founder of 3R Zerowaste Private Limited, Shiv has been pioneering circular economy and climate-tech innovations in India & UK, focusing on e-waste recycling, ESG consulting, and digital citizen engagement through the KarmaCoins app — a platform that rewards sustainable behavior. A passionate advocate for sustainability and social innovation, Shiv combines deep technical expertise with a visionary approach to building partnerships between industry, academia, and government. His mission is to accelerate India’s transition toward a zero-waste, net-zero future through technology, collaboration, and grassroots impact.
