EkoKintsugi LLP

In their own words

EkoKintsugi LLP is operating in the circular economy and sustainable manufacturing sector with a focus on footwear and applied AI technology. The startup addresses the problem of industrial leather waste generated by footwear manufacturing, which leads to environmental damage and inefficient use of resources, while also responding to the lack of formal employment opportunities for unskilled, women, and tribal workers. Its innovation lies in integrating upcycling with AI-enabled material sorting, quality control, and digital traceability, resulting in reduced waste, improved material consistency, and transparent, compliant supply chains. EkoKintsugi LLP uses AI-driven material intelligence to support data-based decision-making, waste reduction, and readiness for digital product passport requirements under emerging European regulations. Manufacturing operations are based in India with an export-oriented model focused on European markets. The startup generates employment through skill development and formal workforce integration of women, unskilled workers, and tribal communities. EkoKintsugi LLP qualifies under Startup India due to its innovative, technology-driven, scalable, and export-focused business model aligned with sustainability and economic development objectives.
