Bootcamp for Circular Bharat Accelerator cohort to build a more circular future

As a key pillar under Project Circular Bharat (PCB), the Circular Bharat Accelerator, an initiative by Hindustan Unilever Limited and NITI Aayog in partnership with NSRCEL and Xynteo, officially kicked off with the Circular Bharat Accelerator Bootcamp.

The bootcamp brought together founders, policymakers, corporate enterprises and ecosystem leaders working towards a more circular future for India. Through conversations on policy, partnerships, innovation and scaling circular businesses, the cohort start-ups engaged directly with ecosystem stakeholders, corporates as well as government partners.

The day also featured partner-led keynote sessions, networking mixers and deep dives into funding readiness, enterprise partnerships as well as scaling business models for circular economy solutions creating opportunities to explore real-world collaborations.

The inaugural cohort of 12 start-ups is building solutions across Circular Supply Chains & Resource Efficiency, Plastic Circularity & Sustainable Packaging, and Advanced Recycling & Waste Processing, marking the beginning of their journey through the accelerator.
