IMT Manesar, Haryana | June 2025 – In a remarkable milestone for sustainability and climate awareness, 3R Zerowaste Private Limited has been recognized with a prestigious Business and Social Enterprise Award for its impactful initiative “16+ Lakh Voices for the Planet” — a four-year journey of climate change awareness, citizen engagement, and environmental education.
Founded on the principles of circular economy and zero waste, 3R Zerowaste has been at the forefront of North India’s climate-tech innovation, combining digital solutions, grassroots campaigns, and community partnerships to empower individuals and organizations to take climate-positive actions.
Since its inception, the “Voices for the Planet” campaign has reached over 1.6 million individuals across India, through a combination of educational programs, digital outreach, school and university collaborations, mobile application engagement, and sustainability workshops. The initiative amplified public understanding of climate change, waste segregation, energy conservation, and responsible consumption aligned with India’s commitments under the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“We are honoured to receive this recognition,” said Mr. Shiv Rao Challa, Founder & CEO of 3R Zerowaste Pvt. Ltd. “This award is a testament to the belief that climate action begins with awareness — and when communities are informed, they become powerful catalysts for change. Over the past four years, we’ve seen ordinary citizens transform into climate champions, and this is just the beginning.”
The award reflects not only the scale of outreach but also the social enterprise model of 3R Zerowaste, which reinvests in community education, green jobs, and inclusive growth — particularly through its innovative KarmaCoins app that rewards sustainable gestures.
As 3R Zerowaste prepares to scale its impact further — both nationally and globally — this recognition marks a pivotal moment in its journey to build a world without waste and a climate-conscious generation.
