WeVOIS raises Rs 36 Cr in Series A round from Negen Capital

Waste management startup WeVOIS has raised Rs 36 crore ($4.2 million) in its Series A round led by Negen Capital and Vyom Wealth (the Polycab family office), with additional participation from Venture Catalysts, SN Capital, Warmup Ventures, Marsshot Ventures (Razorpay Founders’ Fund), and other angel investors. 

The proceeds will be used to scale its operations, expand partnerships, and drive innovation across India. 

Founded by Abhinav Vashistha, WeVOIS is setting up textile waste recycling facilities and bio-CNG plants to convert wet waste into clean energy, exemplifying innovation in sustainable waste management. 

Building on its proprietary technology powered by the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven analytics, WeVOIS is optimizing waste collection, enhancing material flows, reducing carbon emissions, and improving recycling efficiency.

According to market research, India generates approximately 62 million tonnes of waste annually, with only 12 million tonnes treated before disposal. This volume is expected to more than double by 2030, underscoring the urgent need for innovative, scalable solutions.
