KABADIMAN CLIMATE SOLUTIONS PRIVATE LIMITED

In their own words

Kabadi Man is India’s first technology-driven marketplace connecting urban homes and businesses with verified Kabadiwalas (scrap dealers) for on-demand scrap collection and responsible recycling. Founded with the vision to make recycling simple, accessible, and rewarding, Kabadi Man empowers the informal waste management sector through technology, financial inclusion, and fair trade practices. The platform bridges the gap between waste generators and recyclers by aggregating over 2500 customers and 500+ Kabadiwalas, completing more than 3800 pickups to date. Through its upcoming mobile and web platform, users can easily schedule pickups, get instant scrap value, and ensure their recyclables reach authorized recyclers. Kabadi Man solves a long-standing inefficiency in India’s recycling ecosystem — where over 4 million Kabadiwalas struggle with irregular income, long travel distances, and lack of access to technology. By connecting them directly to customers and businesses, Kabadi Man increases their earnings, optimizes their routes, and drives circular economy adoption at scale. The startup follows an asset-light and highly scalable business model, generating revenue through transaction commissions and SaaS subscriptions that offer Kabadiwalas access to inventory management, accounting, and AI-based scrap price prediction tools. Kabadi Man envisions building India’s largest sustainable recycling network — empowering livelihoods, reducing landfill waste, and enabling every citizen to recycle responsibly with just a tap.
