Founder's Journey

Ajay Mehra

Social Reformer & Entrepreneur

Ajay Mehra has devoted his life to transforming the vision of Swachhata (Cleanliness) through innovation and inclusion, uplifting marginalized communities across India.

Witnessing the harsh realities of manual scavenging and inadequate sanitation infrastructure inspired him to act beyond awareness — towards sustainable solutions.

Through impactful films and campaigns aligned with Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules, he strengthened Janbhagidari by engaging citizens in waste segregation.

🎯 This mission gave birth to SS Bin — stainless steel, dual-compartment bins that replace plastic and enable effective dry & wet waste segregation nationwide.

A Story of Dignity & Change

Swachhta's Scavenger

The untold story of India's unsung heroes fighting for dignity, health, and a cleaner tomorrow.

Waste Workers

Breaking the Chains of Manual Scavenging

In the shadows of India's sanitation system lie thousands of workers who risk their lives daily, handling waste with bare hands in the most inhumane conditions.

Swachhta's Scavenger is more than a documentary—it's a call to action. It reveals the harsh reality of manual scavenging, a practice that persists despite being legally banned.

⚠️ Every year, lives are lost in septic tanks and sewers. Our mission is to end this tragedy through technology, education, and systemic change.

Health Hazards

Workers face deadly infections, respiratory diseases, and toxic exposure without protective equipment.
