In this episode of Green Tatwa Talks, I am conversing with Aniket Dhar and Rupankar Banerjee, Founder of Kumbhi Kagaz, The Desh ka Kagaz. 

Kumbhi Kagaz was born out of wildlife love. During a snake rescue release mission into the wetlands, they encountered the problem of water hyacinth, which has multiple issues, one being the blockage of the water surface. This blockage prevented them from taking pictures to document the release of the snake. One of the founders, Rupankar Bhattacharjee, developed a prototype during the COVID-19 pandemic. Afterward, the other founder, Aniket Dhar, joined the team, documented their efforts, and shaped it into a business model. They first won the Zero Waste Cities Challenge organized by Waste Aid U.K.
