Ananyaa Bhargava

I’m a recent graduate from UNCW (Magna Cum Laude, Division-I Tennis), now diving headfirst into the startup world — driven by passion for sustainability, behavioral science, and entrepreneurship. With years immersed in competitive tennis since childhood and a deepening interest in psychology and research during my undergraduate journey, I’m now channeling that same curiosity and discipline into building OilOnWheelz — a sustainability-focused startup creating India’s first structured, tech-enabled, and environmentally compliant network for used lubricating oil (ULO) collection. Our platform connects informal collectors, bulk oil generators, and certified recyclers through digital traceability, smart hardware, and verified payout systems — reducing emissions, underrepresented workers in the informal sector, and advancing India’s Circular Economy and EPR compliance goals. Backed by real-world data, regulatory insight, and systems thinking, we’re on a mission to align profit with purpose — reimagining how waste is valued, collected, and reintegrated into the economy through transparent, ethical, and scalable systems. As India accelerates toward its Net-Zero 2070 roadmap — with interim targets like 45% decarbonization and 50% non‑fossil electricity by 2030 — OilOnWheelz is strategically positioned to create immediate, scalable impact through cleaner resource recovery and inclusive logistics innovation. From lab research to field execution, I’m focused on building human-first systems to solve real-world environmental challenges — from the ground up. Startup Focus Areas: • Climate & Circular Economy • Used Oil Logistics & Tech • Informal Sector Formalization • Carbon & Emission Reduction • EPR Compliance & Digital Tools Let’s connect if you’re working in climate, circularity, logistics, or impact startups — or simply believe in purpose-driven entrepreneurship.
