The Mumbai-based startup has expanded into 10,000 offline retail stores across India.
“The initial idea for Beco came from the realisation that every piece of plastic disposed of will last for decades, and find its way back to us in some form, causing immeasurable harm," said Aditya Ruia, Co-founder of Beco. "We are thrilled to have a spate of like-minded individuals in our investors who share our vision of making sustainable living convenient, affordable, accessible, and finally a reality.”
