'Opportunity doesn't come to knock your door. It is all about finding and creating yourself.'  - Saugat Tiwari

 

Can you initiate a startup at zero investment? Do you have any startup ideas? Of course not! Startups cannot be done at very young age and requires huge investment is the perception we youths are having these days.

Saugat Tiwari and Ashik Bikram Khadka both are 19 years old undergraduate students who initiatedTimro Kawadiwala, a waste collecting and recycling business in hometown Chitwan at zero investment.

By seeing the busy lifestyle, urbanization and unmanaged waste in Chitwan they wanted to do something for better environment. This led them to initiate a startup and be a mediator between the trash collector and local people in collecting recyclable wastes.

'We ourselves will not be visiting door to door to collect the waste; we will be collaborating with waste company and provide the data and schedule that we collect to them and they themselves will visit the households to pick the waste' said Ashik.

'Just a miscall or message and kawadiwala will be at your doorstep.'

It's been a month we started our business. Now they focus mainly on the Narayangadh area and majorly the hotels, restaurants and café from which are the major source of wastes.

Very soon we will be expanding our working area and are planning to establish recycling factory by ourselves relating to zero waste concept.

I am really pleased to see my brothers starting a new concept for better earth and glad i am a part of it.
