Aayushi KC, the Founder and CEO of Khaalisisi, a platform for efficient mobilization of recyclable trash in Nepal, leads the dream to build Nepal as the Top-20 recycling nations in the world. The entrepreneurial spirit in Aayushi KC drove her to leave a well-paying job at USAID Nepal to start a venture of her own. Given the appalling state of waste management and recycling industry in Nepal, Aayushi felt the need to address the problem of trash collection, starting with Kathmandu. Her idea of creating a digital platform to connect waste entrepreneurs was laughed over initially as an insane and unrealistic idea, but her firm determination led her to overcome the most overwhelming of shortcomings in order to turn her idea into reality. Today, she has successfully established a strong network of waste entrepreneurs in Kathmandu, leading Khaalisisi to reach the Top-9 of Google Business Group (GBG) Stories Search 2017, Tech Camp Chennai and Global Entrepreneurship Summit. Aayushi, who carries the vision to make Nepal a zero-waste country, was also listed among the ‘Forbes 30 under 30’ in Asia for her impactful social innovation.Being a young woman entrepreneur in the Nepali startup sphere, Aayushi believes that everyone should step above the gender rules to focus on bringing solutions to the indefinite problems that exists in our society.
