Sachin Tendulkar Joins Recykal as Strategic Investor to Back India's Recycling Revolution

Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has joined Hyderabad-based waste management technology company Recykal as a strategic investor, backing its mission to transform how India manages and recycles waste. Founded in 2015 by Abhay Deshpande, Recykal uses technology to connect businesses, waste aggregators and recyclers, making it easier to recover recyclable materials and build a more organised circular economy. The company has already channelled more than 3 million metric tonnes of waste through its platform.

Beyond the investment, Sachin Tendulkar will work with Recykal to encourage responsible waste disposal, waste segregation and greater public participation in recycling. The company works with over 650 brands, including Hindustan Unilever, Samsung and BMW, alongside a network of more than 5,000 aggregators and recyclers. While the investment amount remains undisclosed, the association brings significant visibility to India's growing circular economy ecosystem.
