This funding milestone reinforces WeVOIS’s mission to revolutionize waste management in India and establish the country as a global leader in sustainable waste practices.

Commenting on the funding, Abhishek Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO of WeVOIS, said,

We are thrilled to receive this funding, which will significantly accelerate our mission of creating a cleaner and more sustainable future. Our sanitation partners, who are the backbone of our operations, play a pivotal role in our success. With over 1,500 sanitation workers and partnerships with 20+ municipal bodies, we are building a robust waste collection, recovery, and recycling ecosystem. We aim to establish 100 zero-waste cities in the next five years.

WeVOIS is spearheading efforts to reduce reliance on virgin resources, minimize greenhouse gas emissions, and reclaim land by diverting waste from landfills. The company is setting up textile waste recycling facilities and bio-CNG plants to convert wet waste into clean energy, exemplifying innovation in sustainable waste management. Building on its proprietary technology powered by the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven analytics, WeVOIS is optimizing waste collection, enhancing material flows, reducing carbon emissions, and improving recycling efficiency.

Abhinav Vashistha, Co-Founder and CTO of WeVOIS, highlighted the company’s vision for innovation, stating,

We will use this funding to establish a state-of-the-art Centre of Excellence for advanced waste processing, a first-of-its-kind facility in India. Our prototypes are ready for commercialization, allowing us to reduce waste and its environmental impact drastically. This is a vital step toward positioning India as a global pioneer in waste management technologies.

India generates approximately 62 million tonnes of waste annually, with only 12 million tonnes treated before disposal. This volume is expected to more than double by 2030, underscoring the urgent need for innovative, scalable solutions.
