The fact that his hometown Tinsukia was declared as the least clean town in the country was the final trigger that compelled Sanjay to quit his job in Switzerland and come back to serve his state better. Having sizable experience and exposure in the waste management sector, Sanjay quickly got down to registering an NGO, CARE North East Foundation in 2018. 2 years hence, in 2020, he laid the foundation of his startup, CARE North East Environmental Services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found that there is no end-to-end solution to waste sector issues in Assam. And also, there is no capacity among municipalities to deal with various types of waste,\u201d the founder says. His startup tapped the need effectively and started providing 360\u00b0 waste management solutions to the Municipal bodies and other semi-government or private organizations in the state.<\/p>\n<p>The startup has trained a team of professionals from the weaker economic strata to create an impeccable waste collection, composting and recycling value chain. Currently working at Nagaon, CARE North East Environmental Services has projects in pipeline at Kokrajhar, Jorhat and Nalbari.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being a relatively new entity, CARE North East Environmental Services has gained decent traction. To date, the startup has provided services to 38000+ establishments, catering to over 4 lakh population.<\/p>\n<p>For the current financial year, the startup has set a target to collaborate with at least 5 Municipalities in Assam and expand its presence in other North Eastern states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While working at Skat Foundation in Switzerland as a Water, Sanitation and Waste Management Expert, Sanjay K Gupta had the epiphany about the excruciating need for a scientific waste management process in his home state, Assam.
