Keeping the Den Spotless, Match After Match

The Problem<br>We're<br>Solving

~8–12 TONNES

OF WASTE

Generated per IPL match

40,000 fans per match generate massive waste

Reputation of Bengaluru's iconic stadium at stake

Our Mission

Our Vision

To set a national benchmark for stadium cleanliness in Indian cricket — making Chinnaswamy the cleanest IPL venue in India.
