General Management

Swapeco is a startup with a vision to bring about a systematic change in India’s recyclable waste management problem. Swapeco’s digital platforms connect various stakeholders (generators, aggregators, and recyclers) of the scrap recycling supply chain and assures 100% transparency & traceability among them.
We provide an android app for households where they can schedule hassle-free doorstep pickups for their recyclables (paper, plastics, metals, old appliances, etc.) & get paid for them. The pickups are executed by our trained & verified pickup team. Similarly, we provide a separate B2B platform for enterprises where they can schedule pickups for their recyclables and get options for proper invoicing & formal payments. We have built an Uber/Amazon-like ecosystem for recyclables. Swapeco has been recognized as a startup by the government of India. We have recently received a $40K grant from Columbia University. We were also selected for the Y Combinator interview in 2019.

Selected intern’s day-to-day responsibilities include:

1. Taking ownership of various critical processes like daily scrap pickup operations, accounting, general administration, etc.
2. Supervising the pickup staff & warehouse staff
3. Coordinating between the customers & pickup team to ensure that the pickups are executed smoothly
4. Answering incoming calls from customers and pickup teams
5. Making occasional field visits to ensure smooth execution of B2B pickups
