Anshu Gupta
Founder, Goonj

Popularly known as the Clothing Man, Anshu founded GOONJ with a mission to make clothing a matter of concern and to bring it among the list of subjects for the development sector.

His work has a game changing element in many ways; he has taken the menacing growth of urban waste and used it effectively and efficiently as a tool to trigger large scale development work on diverse issues; roads, water, environment, education, health etc. in some of the most backward and remote pockets of India.
