In April 2022, Amita Deshpande, a co-founder of reCharkha EcoSocial Private Limited (reCharkha), was reflecting on the future of her social enterprise during a return flight from a sustainable-development conference. For seven years, the Pune, India–based start-up had utilized labour-intensive upcycling to tackle critical issues such as plastic pollution, environmental degradation, and rural unemployment. Despite receiving accolades for her company’s work, Deshpande now faced a pressing challenge: how to scale the enterprise financially while remaining true to its social mission of environmental conservation and rural empowerment. Rising competition and high production costs limited reCharkha’s ability to expand into new markets. Thus, Deshpande needed to explore strategic options to enhance revenue, reduce costs, and increase market reach without compromising on the core values of sustainability and community impact. Balancing these competing priorities, Deshpande contemplated the start-up’s next steps to ensure its long-term growth and mission-driven success.
