Pharmaceuticals - Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Pharmaceutical waste is a growing concern and is a problem worldwide as there are no strict rules and regulations for pharmaceutical waste disposal. Currently, the pharmaceutical waste is being disposed off just like normal household waste. Satva Health Solutions, the brain-child of Mr. Shashi Mohan, a pharmacist from Chikkabalapura came to know of this universal issue and planned to do something to root out the issue and help protect the environment. He set up Satva at Bengaluru the hub of all innovations with an aim of going pan India. However, little did he know that the path he chose was not an easy one and would have difficulty in financial front and also disposal of pharmaceutical waste. Furthermore, due to non-stringent rules and regulations could with lack of awareness towards positive, clean and safe disposal of pharmaceutical waste, we are not getting much support.
