Business News: Have you ever thought that a simple scrap dealer selling newspapers, plastic, or old electronics can also make the country clean and economically empowered? Henik Gala and Shreyas Jalpur from Thane merged this idea with technology to launch an innovative and intelligent startup, 'ScrapJi'.
Where everyone saw garbage, they saw opportunity

Henik and Shreyas' dream was not born from a big corporate office but from a street scrap dealer. While returning from school, they would see an old man sorting and weighing garbage and earning money. To people he was a common man, but to these two he was a hero solving an unseen problem.
This inspiration turned into a business initiative in 2023. The two friends decided that now is the time to give a new meaning to junk as a green business model.
ScrapJi: The tech-powered scrap revolution
ScrapJi is not just a garbage collection service; it is the beginning of urban waste intelligence in India. The most special thing about it is its digital ecosystem:
- The customer books a pickup slot through WhatsApp or website
- The trained staff weighs the waste at home
- Immediately makes digital payment
- Then all this waste is directly delivered to recycling units
- Every step is linked to data, technology, and transparency.

Target of 'Zero-Waste India' by 2030
Henik and Shreyas believe that the dream of making India garbage-free cannot be realized alone. For this, they have made a special plan - connecting traditional scrap dealers across the country with ScrapJi.
- They will be trained
- Linked to the mobile app
- And their income will be made permanent
- This is not just a business but a step towards social change.
More trust than turnover
In 2024, ScrapJi earned more than Rs 25 lakh. By 2025, they aim to scale their startup to achieve a turnover of ₹1 crore. But the real success lies in the fact that people have adopted this platform with trust, not just to sell garbage but to make the country clean.
Scrap can bring revolution, not just earnings
The story of ScrapJi proves that if the ideas are true and the intentions are clear, then even a simple business can be taken to extraordinary heights. Henik and Shreyas not only built a digital startup but also showed millions of people that the country's biggest problems, like garbage, can also become your biggest opportunities.
