Hi, I'm Ashish Pahwa. My journey with the idea of building solutions for circular economy began during my time working in the IT industry as Data Science Architect. I noticed a significant gap that had to be addressed - no open digital infrastructure and solutions to support circular logistics and quality standards of re-used products. This realization struck me when I participated in multi-stakeholder consultations, where I learned about the critical minerals shortage and its critical role in national security.

ReUpyog is an early-stage social enterprise that stems from my passion for tackling the waste problem. Our mission is to support micro entrepreneurs and consumers maximizne the value and lifetime of their products by making re-commerce more accessible, efficient, and sustainable. Our solutions is a platform where individuals and businesses can repair, refurbish, and resell their electronic devices and offer them with quality and warranty.

Apart from tackling e-waste, I'm also deeply passionate about building solution based climate movements. I'm an active participant in several youth-led organisations networks, working towards strengthening the role of young people in shaping global climate policy discourse.
