Makers, Innovators & Thinkers
Mr. Akshay Jain
Managing Director
Namo eWaste is founded by Akshay Jain, a mechanical engineer by education, was inspired by the sustainable recycling mechanism which he witnessed in UK during his studies. Identifying a similar need for India, he ideated an organization that would play a key role in ensuring a similar, efficient and sustainable system in India. His vision took shape in the form of Namo eWaste, aged 5 years, has already established itself as one of the best eWaste facility in India. Namo eWaste has been awarded the ‘Best Recycling Company of the Year’ at Green India Awards (2018), and the 2nd Prize at the ‘3R Excellence Award for eWaste Recyclers In India’ at the 8th Regional 3R Forum In Asia and the Pacific in 2018.

Mr. Sanjeev Srivastava
Chief Executive Officer
India is already the 3rd largest producer of eWaste with about 5 million tons of eWaste in 21-22. This is expected to rise to 7.69 million tons by 2025. India’s recycling rate is about 3% compared to 27% in Japan and 21% in USA and thus leaving a big gap.
The low recycling rates result from a lack of a formal eWaste recycling infrastructure and ground level awareness. About 95% of eWaste is recycled by the informal sector, which often uses hazardous methods.
This requires immediate attention. Formalising the informal sector, educating workers, increasing awareness and creating environment friendly eWaste disposal structure is need of hour.
Mr. Sanjeev Srivastava is a seasoned Leader with over 35 years of experience in BFSI and has held various key positions with leading Banks like IDBI, ING, IndusInd and Equitas etc. He is also an experienced entrepreneur and has Co-founded and scaled other companies successfully. He believes that by associating with Namo eWaste he will be able to address Environment challenges through responsible disposal of eWaste and contribute towards a better World.
