Background

About Sameer Sharma

As the CEO and co-founder of Swaaha Resource Management Private Limited, I lead a team of IIT alumni who are passionate about creating a zero waste society. We have developed innovative solutions to convert waste into energy, compost, and products, such as solar cafe and cooking solutions. Our work has been recognized by multiple awards and honors, including the Best Startup award by CII in 2023, the Most Innovative Startup award under Smart City 2020, and a world record for zero waste event on site composting. My background in information technology, which I studied at Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, has enabled me to leverage technology to achieve environmental and social impact. I am a certified IT consultant by Microsoft, Oracle, and Cisco, and I have helped organizations optimize their IT infrastructure and processes. I am also a creative storyteller, with experience in journalism, digital marketing, and image-making. However, what truly drives me is the role of a moral enabler, a responsibility I have taken upon myself to inspire ethical values and guide the next generation of entrepreneurs and leaders. I mentor several startups and social impact projects, especially in the areas of rural development, youth empowerment, and women empowerment.
