Episode 26
Thursday, 29 September, 2022

For our next session we had Shriyans Bhandari, Founder & CEO, Greensole. Shriyans Bhandari is an Indian social entrepreneur, author and co-founder of Greensole. He has done Bachelor of Management studies in finance from Jai Hind College Mumbai and MSM Entrepreneurial Leadership from Babson College Franklin W Olin. Shriyans is an ardent marathon runner who ran in 85 long-distance races. He started as athletes from Mumbai and run hundreds of kilometers each year and in the process, he went through several pairs of sports shoes. He noticed wasted sneakers that had no future life, just increasing the pollution. This passion gave him a unique business idea of recycling the used shoes. In 2015 Shriyans and his friend Ramesh Dhami decided to recycle old footwear and founded Greensole.
