Enabling Waste-to-wealth and Circular Economy (A Playbook)

At the Social Innovation (SI) Lab at Pune International Centre (PIC), A over 80 social startups have been mentored by our team of seasoned entrepreneurs and professionals over eight years through the Social Enterprise Mentorship Programme (SEMP). We observed that some themes repeat many times, providing an opportunity to take a closer look at a diverse set of startups working on various forms of the same theme. Some patterns could be observed around processes, challenges, and what works and what does not. These insights could be useful not only for the startups in the SEMP but also for any startup working on or even planning to start working on a similar theme.
