A doorstep waste pickup service from Kochi, collecting scrap, recyclables and sensitive waste from homes and organisations, and making sure every kilo ends up in the right place.
Aakri started as a scrap booking app, built to make selling scrap easy and to get recyclables to the right place. Along the way we saw that sanitary waste was one of Kerala’s biggest untreated problems, so we took it on. Today Aakri is an on-tap solution across Kerala, collecting sanitary waste at the doorstep and making sure it is handled and disposed of safely.
From a single doorstep pickup in Kochi to a growing waste network across South India.
Team formed and app launched on the Play Store.
Built an in-house IT team and started bio-medical and sanitary waste pickups.

A retired Indian Navy veteran, Chandrasekhar brought the discipline of service to a cause he has always held close: sustainability. He founded Aakri in Kochi to make responsible waste disposal simple for every household, and has since led its growth into a trusted partner for households, corporations and the Government of Kerala.
