NEPRA Resource Management

What NEPRA Resource Management does

NEPRA Resource Management (legal entity: NEPRA Environmental Solutions Technologies Private Limited) is an Ahmedabad-headquartered Indian environmental services and technology company that provides integrated waste management, recycling, ESG advisory, and circular economy solutions to corporates, SEBI-listed entities, multinational enterprises, and producers/importers/brand owners subject to India's plastic, battery, e-waste, and tyre waste management rules. The company operates across multiple service lines including ESG advisory, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance, Environment Health & Safety (EHS) advisory, regulatory services, Solar EPC (under an authorized Adani Solar channel partnership), and the NEPRA HuMeij Windshifters JV that manufactures GARUDA air-classification hardware.

The technology core consists of two in-house AI/ML-enabled SaaS platforms. ESG Konnect provides ESG data collection, BRSR reporting, GHG Scope 1/2/3 accounting, CBAM compliance, Double Materiality assessment, KPI tracking across 15+ global frameworks, an EHS module, and the BIRBAL generative-AI assistant for natural-language ESG queries, with OCR, API, and IoT integration. EPR Connect digitizes producer onboarding, credit note generation, certificate lifecycle management, and AI Verification Protocols for audit-ready compliance across multiple waste streams. Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining recurring SaaS subscriptions, professional services across advisory and EHS, project-based solar and waste management EPC contracts, and hardware sales through the HuMeij JV; the company also operates NEPRA Foundation (a 12A/80G-certified non-profit) and NEST Lab, an internal incubation program that has spawned ventures including Ishitva Robotics Systems and Aha! Solar.

NEPRA has raised approximately $31.5M across five funding rounds between 2013 and 2024, with lead investors including Aavishkaar Venture Capital, Circulate Capital, Asha Impact, and Blue Earth Capital. The company claims 300+ clients served, 500+ projects completed, and active participation in industry bodies including NSWAI, CII, PlastIndia Foundation, Swachh Bharat Mission, and the India Plastics Pact, with selection for the Stanford Seed Transformation Program in 2024 signaling global scaling intent.
