SCOPE, a financial consulting and fundraising firm, has invested $1 million in Goodeebag, a sustainable waste recycling firm, to fuel the company’s expansion efforts and strengthen its presence in existing markets across India.
Goodeebag plans to utilize this capital infusion to scale its operations and outreach. With SCOPE’s investment, Goodeebag is set to further accelerate its mission, with plans to expand into additional metro cities and engage even more communities in sustainable practices.
“At SCOPE, we are committed to supporting ventures that not only offer robust financial returns but also contribute positively to society. Goodeebag exemplifies this dual focus. Their innovative approach to waste management is creating real, tangible benefits for communities and the environment. We are excited to support their expansion and help them reach new heights in their mission to make sustainability a reality for more people,” said Appalla Saikiran, Founder and CEO, SCOPE.
Abhishek Agarwal, Founder & CEO of Goodeebag, said, “SCOPE’s investment marks a pivotal moment for Goodeebag. This funding will enable us to scale our operations more rapidly and reach our goal of making a significant environmental impact across India. We are grateful for SCOPE’s support and look forward to leveraging their expertise as we continue to grow and lead in the waste management sector.”
The company’s recent growth – marked by a 60% surge in new customer acquisitions and a 35% increase in waste pick-ups during the April-June 2024 quarter, has demonstrated its capacity to drive significant environmental impact.
Goodeebag has added over 4,500 families to its network by June 2024 and completed 30,000 waste pick-ups. Looking ahead, the Hyderabad-based company plans to expand into three new metro cities and reach 200,000 families by the end of the year.
