What E-Parisaraa does

E-Parisaraa Pvt. Ltd. is a Bengaluru-headquartered electronic waste recycling company founded in 2004 by Mr. Peethambaram Parthasarathy, and was India's first government-approved e-waste recycler (approved by both the Central Pollution Control Board and the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board). It operates two recycling facilities — at Dobaspet (Bangalore) and Hindupur (Andhra Pradesh), the latter being India's first dedicated lithium-ion battery recycling facility set up in 2020 — together with collection centers in four major metros (Gurugram NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata) that the company has flagged for future upgrade into full-fledged recycling facilities. The company holds multiple first-in-India certifications, including R2 (Responsible Recycling, 2013), Greenco Gold (2018), and ISO 9001:2015, 14001:2015, and 45001:2018, alongside a 20+ year operational track record and recognition including a Mann Ki Baat appreciation from the Prime Minister's Office in 2023.

The company's product portfolio spans six integrated service lines: end-to-end E-Waste Management Services (collection, recycling, and resource recovery), EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) compliance consulting under India's E-Waste Management Rules 2022, specialized Lithium-Ion Battery recycling for consumer electronics, EVs, and energy storage, "Reimagined Resources" urban mining (recovering precious metals such as gold, silver, palladium, platinum, base metals, rare earth elements including cobalt, lithium and neodymium, plastics, and glass), Refurbished IT Products, and certified Data Protection Services. Core technology is built on patented metallurgical processes reportedly achieving >99.5% purity in metal extraction and >98% recycling efficiency, supported by an in-house R&D laboratory equipped with EDXRF, AAS, and custom-built furnaces, and underpinned by a roughly decade-long MeitY-funded research collaboration with CMET Hyderabad plus an R&D partnership with Ehime University Japan that has produced registered patents and peer-reviewed publications.

E-Parisaraa serves a B2B enterprise customer base through direct sales with scheduled pickups and on-site data destruction, targeting corporate IT asset disposition, EPR-mandated producers (electronics manufacturers, battery producers, IT companies), EV manufacturers, healthcare and financial services organizations requiring certified data destruction, and government entities. Revenue is generated through managed-services fees for recycling and EPR program execution, professional-services fees for EPR consulting and data destruction, transaction-based revenue from the sale of recovered raw materials, and hardware sales of refurbished IT equipment; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company remains privately held with no disclosed external institutional funding, and following the founder's death in 2023, ownership and management succession are not clarified in the public record.

Scale indicators11 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Li-Cycle: Public lithium-ion battery recycler using a hydrometallurgical 'spoke-and-hub' model. Most directly comparable to E-Parisaraa's LiB recycling service line and expansion plans tied to the EV/battery boom.
• Cyclic Materials: North American rare-earth and battery-materials recycler focusing on permanent magnets and LiB feedstock. Comparable technology overlap (rare earths, critical metals) with E-Parisaraa's neodymium and LiB extraction operations.

Direct peers

• Attero Recycling: India-based e-waste and lithium-ion battery recycler with patented hydrometallurgy processes. Directly competes with E-Parisaraa in both IT/electronics e-waste and LiB recycling across the same Indian EPR-driven market.
• Cerebra Integrated Technologies: Operates an Indian e-waste recycling and ITAD business alongside its BPO services. Overlaps with E-Parisaraa on e-waste collection, certified data destruction, and compliance-focused recycling for enterprise clients.

Broad incumbents

• Umicore: Global materials technology and recycling group with a substantial precious-metals and battery-materials recycling business. Comparable to E-Parisaraa on urban mining and metals recovery but operates at far greater scale and across geographies.
• Sims Lifecycle Services: Global ITAD arm of Sims Limited providing e-waste recycling, data destruction, and refurbished asset resale. Mirrors E-Parisaraa's combination of certified data destruction, refurbishment, and compliance reporting.
• Veolia Environmental Services: Global environmental services group operating hazardous waste treatment, collection, and materials recovery. Represents a scaled incumbent competing for enterprise e-waste contracts that E-Parisaraa also targets.
• TES (TES-AMM): Global IT Asset Disposition and e-waste recycler with industry-leading scale. Compares to E-Parisaraa's enterprise data destruction and device refurbishment streams, though TES serves a broader multinational customer base.
