The only thing I had in my mind back then was to make my ideas a reality by becoming an entrepreneur. I had an unstoppable urge to make the world a better place. With such thoughts, I picked the education domain and started my own start-up exclusively for students. Entrepreneur-ship was a remote profession for me as none of my family members were into it.

I feel that the recycle market, karma points, and
other features give us an edge above anyone who falls in our category.
As it is a gamified app based on the points and contribution to the environment through various features in the application, a user earns Karma points. It is a user friendly app and the challenges are the heart of the application, but in addition we have recycle store, karma boost, points which are helping us to build a global community.
Along with these it provides features like sup-porting your favourite leader to get them on the leadership board and mood calculator. I can’t wait for the app to launch so you all can explore these services. Testing, feedback, and improvising go hand in hand. I believe that feedback from the team and users will help us improve constantly till we reach ‘perfection.’
