Scrapuncle, an India-based clean-technology startup focused on technology-enabled scrap recycling and reverse logistics, has raised ₹22 crore (~$2.6 million) in a Pre-Series A funding round to expand its platform that streamlines collection, sorting, and processing of waste materials such as e-waste, metal scraps, and post-consumer recyclables. The company aims to deepen its tech-driven marketplace and digital operations, accelerate geographic expansion into new Indian cities, and bring more informal recycling players into organised, transparent, and compliant waste management ecosystems addressing sustainability challenges while improving economics for waste aggregators and processors. This funding comes at a time when India’s clean-tech and circular economy initiatives are gaining momentum with increased private and public support. In this round, Scrapuncle was backed by a mix of strategic and angel investors who share confidence in the company’s mission to build data-first operations, deploy AI-assisted supply chain optimisation, and formalise informal recycling channels. The fresh capital will be used to enhance technology infrastructure including predictive analytics for scrap pricing, route optimisation, and real-time compliance tracking and to scale the company’s workforce and operational footprint across multiple states. This Pre-Series A funding marks a key milestone as Scrapuncle builds the foundations for broader clean-tech impact and commercial growth.
