The journey of Saahas began in 2001 with registration under the Societies Act. Wilma Rodrigues, a formal journalist, founded Saahas to promote waste management practices in alignment with the very progressive Municipal Solid Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000.

Headquartered in Bangalore, we have since grown and are now operational in Gurugram, Surat, Chennai, Hubballi and Ballari. Over the years, Saahas has been innovating, incubating and propagating waste management programs focused on two key principles of “Segregation at Source” and “Decentralized Waste Management”. 

Vision

Saahas will be a leading source of innovative solutions and strong advocacy for a sustainable ecosystem of solid waste management engaging government, commercial and residential stakeholders. 

Mission

To be the leader in establishing best practices in solid waste management which demonstrate sustainable viability and increase awareness and compliance in the community.
