Sachin Tendulkar joins Recykal as strategic investor

Hyderabad-based waste management startup Recykal has onboarded cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar as a strategic investor.

The company has not disclosed the amount invested by Tendulkar or the valuation at which the investment was made.

Tendulkar will support Recykal’s efforts to promote responsible waste management and encourage recycling across India. He said the company’s use of technology to address waste management challenges and its ambition to drive behavioural change resonated with him.

Founded in 2015 by Abhay Deshpande, Recykal operates a technology platform focused on waste management and the circular economy. Its offerings include digital platforms, Deposit Return Systems (DRS), a marketplace for recyclable materials and AI-enabled hardware solutions such as reverse vending machines.

In June 2026, Recykal raised $23 million in a bridge round comprising primary and secondary capital from existing investors and select family offices. The company is using the proceeds to strengthen its technology platform, scale its Deposit Return System and support international expansion.

According to the company, Recykal has channelled more than 3 million metric tonnes of waste, working with around 650 brands, including Hindustan Unilever, Samsung and BMW, and over 5,000 aggregators and recyclers.
