Recykal's founder and CEO, Abhay Deshpande, emphasised the significance of the investment, saying, "As we embark on the next phase of our growth journey, this investment will enable us to drive further innovation in our technology, products and solutions. Thus, this will pave the way for us to amplify our growth and strengthen our position as a trusted sustainability partner.”
Sameer Nath, CIO and Head of Private Equity at 360 ONE Asset, commenting on the investment said, “The company has demonstrated significant progress and scale in achieving circularity of value chain, as opposed to the traditional linear “take-make-dispose” approach, by solving for demand aggregation and resource utilization, which we believe is imperative in building a sustainable future.”
