Xiaomi India today announced its partnership with Saahas Zero Waste to extend support for an e-waste awareness drive, initiated by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB).

In a month-long initiative, KSPCB along with the help of Saahas Zero Waste, Xiaomi India and other participating brands aim to spread awareness across all 31 districts of Karnataka reaching out to a total of approximately 5 million citizens.

With the support of urban local bodies, all participating electronics retailers have pledged to station e-waste collection bins across all stores, after sales and service centers in Karnataka. The initiative will also include developing suitable awareness content, manage collection of all the e-waste and channelize the same for recycling to authorized recyclers. Through awareness drives, KSPCB along with brands like Xiaomi India aim to build a sense of responsibility to repair, refurbish, donate and recycle amongst the consumers. The focus will be on collecting about 100 tonnes of e-waste over the next 1 month.

Manu Kumar Jain, Managing Director, Xiaomi India, said, “At Xiaomi India, our focus is not only on responsible recycling, but also on awareness generation. KSPCB’s initiative to spread awareness on e-waste is a step forward towards building a sustainable and future ready tomorrow. We are honoured and privileged to be a part of this e-waste drive in Karnataka. Our partnership with Saahas Zero waste further encourages us to push the boundaries of building a more sustainable and future ready tomorrow for consumers across the city.”

Dr. Shanth A Thimmaiah, Chairman, Karnataka State Pollution Control Board said, “Disposal of e-waste, if not done properly, can be hazardous to the environment and health. While thousands of tonnes of waste is generated annually, many authorised recyclers and dismantlers say their vast plants remain woefully underused. Apart from requesting bulk generators to ‘voluntarily’ give information about the type of e-waste being generated, we aim to instill a sense of responsibility amongst the consumers as well. With this initiative, our aim is to not only spread awareness about the importance of proper e-waste management but also do our duty towards building a safer and cleaner environment. We are extremely proud to have brands like Xiaomi be part of our initiative and look forward to building a better and brighter India for future generations.”

According to the MEITY Annual Report 2020-2021, in 2019, India generated 3.2 Mn tonnes of e-waste of which only 10% was formally collected and recycled. While India has a very long way to go in correctly dealing with e-waste, the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board is making it possible through their awareness drives to fasten the process. Xiaomi India in partnership with Saahas Zero Waste aims at making this awareness drive a success.

A number of brands have taken to merchandising and D2C businesses in recent times to strengthen their footprint. Understanding the pulse of the audience, Pocket Aces too, has forayed into D2C products with the launch of merchandise for their popular show ‘Little Things’, and now for their esports drama ‘Clutch’.

The model for Clutch merchandise is unique, where the original jerseys that the characters wore during the show have been auctioned to audiences. Pocket Aces is doubling this amount, and all proceeds are going to an organization called Enabling Leadership for their “Just for Kicks” program.

‘Clutch’ received immense love and appreciation from fans, crossing over 25 million views. Taking this fandom of the show forward for a good cause, Dice Media is auctioning jerseys worn by the lead star cast in the series. Vishal Vashishtha, Ahsaas Channa, Saurabh Ghadge, Pratiek Pachori and Tirth Joisher have autographed their respective jerseys, which fans can get their hands on through this fundraiser on Dice Media’s Instagram handle ‘@dicemediaindia’. The auction that commenced on November 19 has raised a whopping INR 30,000 from audiences in just 5 days. Pocket Aces will be doubling this amount and donating INR 60,000 to charity.

What makes this auction even more exciting is the selection of charity chosen to share the proceeds with. The ‘Just For Kicks’ program by Enabling Leadership impacts 3600+ students across India, Battambang, Cambodia. With the motto ‘Everyone Plays’, Just For Kicks works in schools to help children garner multiple bene?ts of leadership development using football as a medium.

Ravi Sonnad, Founder & CEO, Enabling Leadership, shared, “We are thrilled to have received support from Pocket Aces. The ‘Clutch Jersey’ auction will help us draw attention to our ‘Just for Kicks’ program, while the funds will ensure every child we work with is equipped with the required training tools to grow them into tomorrow’s leaders through the powerful medium of team sports. We eagerly look forward to opportunities like these that nurture our vision to build a better and brighter future for all our children.”

Showrunner for Clutch and CEO, Co-Founder of Pocket Aces, Aditi Shrivastava was thrilled to share, “The marriage between entertainment IP (be it ?lms or shows) and merchandise is extremely well developed internationally, but still quite nascent in India. We are trying to kickstart this here with the goal of giving our audiences high quality memorabilia of their favorite shows and characters. We are experimenting with di?erent merchandise models for our popular shows such as Little Things and Clutch, and we are glad to see such an amazing reception for it. The auction-for-charity model we adopted with Clutch is especially close to my heart – sports as a sector is quite underfunded in India, and since Clutch is a sports drama, the Just For Kicks program was the perfect way to give back.”
